Dude, I was a RB, I was more effective in the 4th Q than I was the 1st as are all RB's, wear down....hell no!

Yes, I knew that. I've seen them all, since 1964.

Dak used to run on designed plays which made the lone 1 RB formation run attack less predictable. How we forget

Now that he very seldom runs at all they need 2 rbs just to mask the play calls and carry the yard averages.

Dak very seldom ever runs even on passing plays. Instead he holds on to the ball too long and tries to get cute and craps his pants.

Without a running QB km is gonna have to use some dual RB formations to mask the play calls.

This offense is way too predictable just like it was w/o a running QB w Romo.

It's hard to run in the NFL when you have 3-4 guys keying on your lone RB. You have to keep changing the scheme or somebody will figure ya out

20 years later it's the same 11 and 12 everydown te formation. It's garbage because because our tes are mediocre and it's too monotonous.

We have a steak at every position except te and they still can't put any good teams away consistently.

If we had avg wrs these tes wouldn't do $H1++

But let's play one or two of them on every passing down.

They aren't even good blockers. Lmao. I'd make a lineman eligible down by the goal line before I'd roll w these tes. Prolly catch more TD passes

Well, only see it here and occasionally hear about it on the telecasts. I don’t see some huge difference where Zeke is some rock star blocking and then Pollard falls off a cliff. Seems the data provided matches my thought that perhaps the gap may be grossly over-exaggerated.

Love Zeke, but it's obvious something isn't right.

I dont know if it's the injury or he just wore down or what, but TP is showing to be a better option.

Give Zeke some rest and let TP cook. We will need Zeke down the road. He was playing great football earlier in the year and we need to get him back to that, IF POSSIBLE.

Pretty much everybody. With the 17 game schedule and the rotation of the defensive players no man can take the beating of a full load.

After scoring a 58 yard touchdown on a big run in the 3rd quarter one would think he would have more than 2 carries in the final 4 possessions.

Why so few touches after breaking off a long run? This isn't the 1st time Moore has gone away from him. In the KC game, Pollard's 1st touch broke off 31 yards. He then only got 6 other carries.

Outside of pollards big runs he and Zeke have nearly identical yards per carry averages so why not feed the 1 guy who has shown the ability to break off the bigger runs? I'm not saying he needs 20+ carries but 12-15 would seem to be earned.

He had a 56 and 5 yarder. The rest weren’t good. Plus zekes hurt.

CowboysExchange · Dec 3, 2021

When youre averaging 12 carries for 35 yards over 4 games you're the one getting worn down. Not the defense. Lmao

He's got way less speed out of the gate. And Dlineman are teeing off on the rbs because they know Dak isn't running anymore

That's why the 1 RB scheme sucks 100% of the time. It's monotonously predictable when your qb don't run. Look at Romo highlights. We never won beans w that never changing 11 and 12 personell scheme.

Zeke isn't the TYLER ROSE JS

I'm surprised that Earl Campbell isn't dead. I thought he was going to die 10 years ago.

Campbell had 1402 carries his first 4 seasons, had 6437 yards and scored 55 TD's, trust me he never wore down, he just kept coming.

What is a full load, well?

Kellen Moore is totally Overhyped. It's basically the same (set it and forget it) 11 and 12 personell scheme we've been watching for 20 years. No 2 RB or 4-5 wr formations. Ugh

We've got Lamb, Cooper, Gallop, Wilson, and Brown and haven't gone (5 wide ever) or
(4 wide) twice all year using our best wrs.

Our offensive passing scheme is built around a couple of Jag Tes that have very little scoring or big play capabilities against good teams. That's why we seldom beat any good teams.

Pollard has been producing well for 3 years but gets crumbs. Dak isnt running much anymore and we're still using predictable 1 RB formations on short yardage plays.

I think he is Overhyped w all of the talent we have.

Its called having a big contract............Zeke got over $50 million in signing bonus and guaranteed money on his 2nd contract.

And for those thinking Zeke is going to get cut next year, dont plan on it. His $12.4 mill salary for 2022 is fully guaranteed, so the earliest he can be released is 2023 which would result in a net savings of $4.8 mill ($16.7 mill 2023 salary, non guaranteed, and $11.8 dead money, so net savings of about $5 mill).

When you getting paid coin like this, you start.....period.....end of discussion.....dont matter if you hobbling around on one leg, you aint riding pine when you cashing checks like this in the NFL.

RonWashington · Dec 4, 2021

Don’t downplay this extra time the Cowboys have before the Washington game. A healthier Zeke can help this offense. I want 20 & 21 to see plenty of action at FedEx field. Hopefully Cedric Wilson is a return .

It’s painfully obvious to everyone but a few fans who think a fullbacks skill set is more important for a offense than explosive plays.

What is happening is this is shedding a big bright light on a major problem in Dallas.

They would rather send out 1 legged hobbling Zeke and not give Pollard a bigger opportunity because of a contract.

I would rather the OL not need as much additional support as possible, but I guess that's too much to ask from countless high draft picks and big contracts.

This is the Martellus Bennet situation all over again, but with RB roles and slightly reversed. When Bennet was in the game, teams could basically count on the play being a run. It was like 60/40 in terms of run/pass, and when they did pass they just needed to put their weakest pass defender on the guy because he was never thrown the ball. That's how you average 2 targets/game and 15 yards/game over 4 years. Who respects that? I guarantee you that any defensive coordinator would sacrifice those numbers every week if they could immediately assign their weakest pass defender to that player for the entirety of the game.

In this case, when Zeke is in the game it's probably safe to play the pass because he can't move and is likely blocking. Even if he "breaks" one, he's gonna be run down about 15 yards beyond the LOS. Just play coverage and the odds will favor you against a hobbled RB.

He needs to sit until he's healed, and even then I would say Pollard needs at minimum a 50/50 split. Pollard is working, and Zeke is not. Even under the premise that Zeke is a better block, why not just run more? Better running inherently yields results in its own right.

The saints game proved Tony will struggle too. As long as we keep calling the stupid run up the middle.
Im not one to remove one play to prove some big agenda...but fact is otherwise he had the same 3 yard plays as zeke did.
And I've seen him get steamrolled blocking with the oline.
It's a sin we didn't sit zeke and run with Tony. What in the hll is wrong with our staff?

That "stupid run up the middle" seems to be the only running play KM knows, he keeps running it no matter how unproductive it is.

What does Pollard have to do?
