Dak should carry this offense

Dak can't entirely make up for abysmal coaching. But part of that abysmal coaching is doggedly calling 21 instead of 4 on first down, despite the former failing and the latter working. Do what works. Not complicated.
Why are our opponents focusing so much on stopping our run game? What is their concern ?

Provide proof they are focusing on stopping the run game
You mean aside from them saying they want to stop the run game? (LOL Sorry, couldn't resist) But seriously, the Vikings were pretty vocal about it, then did it. I believe the Rams did as well, and even though my memory is failing me, I'm sure there were other teams as well. Certainly not all of them, but several, I believe.

Whatever the Vikings said, didnt happen. They handed Zeke 6 man boxes and said try to beat us. The running game couldnt.

No, I said provide proof that teams are focusing on Zeke

Don't use it as an argument if you can't provide proof. Just like TOP
What kind of proof would you like?

And just like TOP. It’s been widely discussed to use as support of an opinion.

What proof are you using to say that they are keying in on Zeke?

THIS. IS. NOT. HARD.

Provide anything factual that shows that your statement that teams are keying in on Zeke is a factual thing.

I don’t guess anyone here has heard it’s a common scheme by defenses to stop Elliott you make Dak beat you thru the air? Lol

They sure weren't "defending the pass" as Baldy says, at least not so much as doubling up on receivers. Just as an example, look at the first play Baldy talks about. There were only 6 men in the box, but then the LB or DB came running in from about 7 or 8 yards out. They don't have to be "in the box" to defend the run.

I'm not saying they sold out to stop the run, but I think they were more focused on that than the passing game.

Lol

You must not read or watch any analysis on the games. It’s common tactic . Stop Elliott and you increase your chances of beating the Cowboys forcing Dak to beat you.

And I think that if Zeke ran for 150, and Dak passed for 215 we'd be saying the opposite.

And that was the only play of the six with a defender crashing. The only one.

The fact is the DBs were just as worried about the guys in front of them, as the guys in the box were of Zeke.

I think it’s pretty obvious when I say “Dak was the only reason” that the guys catching his passes did a very good job as well.

Dalvin Cook broke tackle after tackle last night. Even when it looked like he’d be stuck for a loss or no gain.

Zeke didn’t break a single tackle or make one guy miss all night. He even had a few plays in space where he got tripped up by the 1st defender.

Sorry, but no, it wasn’t JUST the blocking.

Cook ran like a guy who’s trying to get paid, Zeke ran like a guy who’s already been paid.

It’s nice of you to defend Zeke.

I also think that you’re smart enough that if you had a shot at a re-do, you would NOT have paid Zeke what we paid him. RBs are rarely worth that kind of big-money deal and Zeke’s no exception.

Oh, he’s also dumb as rocks with his off-field decision-making. There’s that too. Amazingly, we rewarded him for that. Nobody would be surprised by a “BREAKING NEWS: Zeke arrested for ___” headline.

I'm very disappointed in Zeke. Not only did he not break a tackle last night, he also hasn't broken much tackles all year.

This year Dak has certainly carried the load. It's amazing that when we give Dak weapons, he certainly uses them.

The bad part is that I think we underutilize Zeke. Surely, we can run Zeke more on the outside rather than keep running him up the middle on 1st downs.

Also, whatever happened to our screen plays?

I like how Minny used Delvin Cook. We should learn a thing or two on how to call an offense from Minny.

Wait so you're saying you have no proof?

I AM SHOCKED LMAO
Google it yourself , read or watch any analysis on stopping the Cowboys by making us one dimensional. It’s a proven method. I’m not here to entertain you. Dont you watch interviews from the Cowboys press conferences, read the local newspapers or local broadcast?

If you’re telling me you've never heard of such strategy then you’re just trolling me.

Lol now I'm a troll because you can't provide proof for statements and I'm calling you out on it?

Got it lmao.

Where's your proof?
You’re a troll because you continue to attempt to discredit with personal insults which is troll like behavior.
