It's a balance act of course. We still have Coop, Gallup, Cobb, Jarwin, Austin etc.. People always talk about running the ball. Obviously we should based on how we're built but you have to MOVE THE CHAINS. We were able to do that Sunday. Jarwin made a couple of big plays. The huge Dagger to Austin opened up the game. Coops big catch on third and long was critical. The point is Dak will need to be situationally huge. Passing game assists the running game just as much.
Common Sense Offensive Football. Take what the defense gives you. If the box is light run the ball, if it is heavy throw the ball. Don’t run the ball on 1st down into an 8-9 man box! We are capable of running and throwing the ball vs Philly if we are smart about it.

What year is this?
That's every year. You don't have a defense if you can't stop the run. And if you can't run the ball your offense is one dimensional.

Imagine s defense that gives up 130 yards on the ground a game. Or a one dimensional offense for 16 games. So run the ball, stop the run is championship football because you maintain your balance while making your opponent one dimensional.

Throwing the ball opens up the doors for a multitude of miscues. So not many QB's can win week in week out by throwing the ball 42 times a game.

You can bet your *** that the Cowboys will try to impose their will once again with the ground and pound game this week against the Eagles so expect a lot of Zeke and Pollard and not so much of Dak and his broken finger.
It's not just his finger. His right shoulder is jacked up. He may not even play. But yeah, more ground and pound this week.

Lol. Stop feeding the troll.

Lol, they're new. I didn't want to see them struggle.

I remember when I used to argue with Risen, a fruitless labor.

Now I occasionally give him hell over his man crush on Wentz, and how terribly wrong he was. Aside from that I have to laugh at the trolling.

Not to be rude but this is caveman thinking.

For like the 3 hundred millionth time nothing is more correlated to winning than passing differential.

If you had to be a dominant run team or a dominant pass team you should pick pass 10 of 10 times.

How many Superbowls did Romo win with all that passing? Matt Ryan same question. Dan Marino? Warren Moon? Phillip Rivers? Carlson Palmer? Matthew Stafford? Bernie Kosar? Kerry Collins? Vinny Testaverde? Dan Fouts? Boomer Esiason? Fran Tarkenton?

I think you are taking what the Rams did in 99 and what San Fran done as the norm. But Tom Brady and Payton Manning type players don't come around to often neither does those teams like San Fran and the 99 Rams. Those teams and players are rare.

To me, once a QB goes over 36 attempts a game the chances of winning start to go down. Balance is key. And in today's pass happy league a team has to force themselves to commit to the run.
