Kellen needs to stick to the run like he was before earlier this year

just because you have 5 carries for 12 yards doesnt mean abandon the run and go pass heavy.....get more creative with runs dont just slam em up the gut out of the shotgun

RB is a volume position the more they carry the more they break a defense down

The Cowboys had 19 rushes for 61 yards (excluding Dak’s scramble). The running game was not good regardless of who ran it and 19 despite it being bad is about as committed as you can be

If you can’t beat the struggling Saints without Zeke, while claiming your QB is elite, then there are no excuses… especially considering this is one of the top run defenses in the league.

Do you seriously want to risk Zeke, with his knee, against them?
Blink twice if Prescott is in the room with you.

Crazy he needs to get healthy.
This will always be THE problem. The owner and the GM being the same person. Jerry would rather get what he's paid for...instead of playing the long game. A hobbled Zeke is a liability. Just like everyone gets hurt...so does Zeke. But because he held out you want to make a point by coercing him to play?

This may very well be gamesmanship. I would take just about everything coming out of Frisco with a grain of salt.

Dude Zeke carried the ball 9 times on Thursday and I believe 9 times the week before.. They are already reducing his load significantly. The problem is that aside from gadget plays the superstar backup that people are clamoring to replace him is not doing any better. Probably because the blocking on the interior is terrible for both guys.. Until that gets fixed Emmitt, Sweetness and Jim Brown couldn't move the ball on the ground for us.. MAYBE Earl Campbell could because he'd slam his bag *** into the back of the linemen and move the pile.. But that's about it.

Jerrah shut up!!!!! I am so sick of him talking and giving out false information. Zeke probably won’t suit up.

I could not give you a like because I agree our running was not good no matter who ran...I don't think it serves us well to not run for an extended time. We might need to engage some box busting pass plays.
This team needs to run.

Not true at all..

GB had 30 runs for 92 yards that 3YPC in case you needed reference..they stuck with it and wore down the defense..made efficient throw's off it and WON THE GAME..

you can do this if you choose to Moores dna cant be patient in the run game even though some games call for it to protect the defense and help the offense etc

last week should have been that game with our defense struggling , KC should have been that game to a degree as they arent great against the run and we abandoned it in a close game..
