TEN TAKEAWAYS
Zeke Elliott’s not done yet, and neither is the Dallas run game. It’s been so easy to doubt the Cowboys the last few years, because of the disappointments—whether it’s the injury-marred years, or crushing playoff losses on the Dez Bryant (non-)catch and Aaron Rodgers–to–Jared Cook—and the fact that America’s Team hasn’t made it to even the conference title round in a quarter-century. So if you still have your doubts ... understood. And now that I have that preamble out of the way, here’s something I find interesting...

  • Week 1: 391 yards passing, 60 yards rushing
  • Week 2: 221 yards passing, 198 yards rushing
  • Week 3: 220 yards passing, 160 yards rushing.
  • Week 4: 188 yards passing, 245 yards rushing.
“Skill-wise? Definitely the best offense I've been a part of,” two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott told me postgame. “We've been hearing that the past two years. Last year, we were so skilled, but we didn't go and put that on the field. So I mean this year, we're healthy and we all got better. I think we're deep, and it puts a lot of stress on defenses because honestly, you don't know what we're gonna do. You don't know what our game plan's gonna be. You don't know if we're gonna want to run the ball all day or maybe we might sling it all day. It's definitely hard on those defenses.” Even, as the case was Sunday, a defense that was the best in football through September. The Cowboys went three-and-out and punted on the first series of the game, and that didn’t happen again thereafter. And for a team that had increasingly leaned to being more pass-heavy and Dak-centric early last year, and again in this year’s opener, it sure does feel like Mike McCarthy’s getting the Cowboys back to their roots behind a healthier (if not completely healthy) line.

Moore is attacking all parts of the field with various personnel. Can you imagine game planning for the Dallas offense? You would have to make contingency plans for every formation.

I would love to see the trends on formations and personnel. What % they run vs pass with their different looks. I bet money Moore is balanced and that is major difference we have now from when Garrett we here.

As Dak put it, they are taking what the defense gives us......wanna stop the pass, we'll run, stop the run, we'll pass. I'm not sure there's defense in the league right now can stop BOTH, maybe, maybe one or two but that's it. Classic case of picking your poison ........
