When your up by double digits it's easy to run the ball. Dak is to good, and Zeke is to average to really consider this in close games. It's also a passing league now.

Could really care less about any of it except for Moore's playcalling last week. He temporarily won me over with his flashback to 2016 downhill power runs while daring Philly to to crowd the line and making them pay over the top.

A nice pick your poison balance for any defense to be concerned with.

I know it was only one week, but that was my brand of ball. Nothing like demoralizing a dee with down your throat runs and then when they cheat up you kill em with play action chunk plays.

Hope it is sustainable. Cuz if it is, there is excellent potential for a good season.

Every time I wear a raincoat, it rains. So the next drought, all I need to do is wear a raincoat and it will rain!

I was going to use the same analogy with a condom, but I didn't know if it would be appropriate!

When we run more than pass we’re usually leading and aren’t having to dig out of a hole. Having to play catch up leads to abandoning the run and having to air it out. That’s been a recipe for losing.
Not really, in 2014 Dallas ran the ball on every team regardless of what defense they were running,
and whether they were behind or ahead.
They even ran good on the legion of boom, the best defense at that time.
A steady run game will always produce a winning team.
And balance, run and pass.

Now days teams just want to pass on every play.

I expect they will run but you also have to be careful that you do not continue to the point that you start falling behind. What I love about this team is weapons in the backfield but weapons on the outside and I would not sit there trying to force a run vs a stacked defense when I have very dangerous weapons on the outside. I do agree in redzone especially inside the 5 you need to be able to run, I liked seeing McGovern put in a FB on a couple of plays deep in the redzone last week and would expect to see this again.

I have to admit...I was wrong. Kellen seems to be able to suddenly design and effective running game...by using versatility and surprise. We dont; see Zeke's hand come up anymore...because there is a planned rotation. Using McGovern is a sign of ingenuity too.

Wah, Wah, Wah! Haters can't help themselves...


You would know. You just keep posting lies from your hate.

Show me being an actual hater. Me pointing out your hypocrisy is just facts...not hate at all.

Come on...do what rockport won't. Show me the hate.

You definitely have a better chance to win if you have a balanced attach. But when the defense stacks the box the entire game to shut down the run, you'd be an idiot to keep running it and gaining 2 or 3 yards per carry and 3 and out after 3 and out. The elite offenses take what the defense gives you. When Emmitt was playing, teams would stack the box and more often than not shut him down in the 1st half. Troy would then do his thing but at the same time pound Emmitt in their just enough. By the 3rd and 4th quarter defenses would drop their safeties back and then Emmitt would get his yards against a tired defense. You can't just say where going to run the ball because running the ball more than passing is going to get you the win. That's wrong in many cases. If you're running effectively like the Cowboys have the last 2 games then hell yeah, keep doing what's successfull. But against the Bucs it didn't work and they had to start passing. Should've won the game except for 2 missed FG's and an extra point.


This is where designing and preparing with Pollard will help us maintain the running game.

It's refreshing to see them design for both. It used to be the stupid jet sweep we thought would break them. It used to be we would use Pollard when zeke raised his hand. Now we are effectively using Pollard. Awesome.
