this is exactly what defense are doing. They’re lining up and begging the offense to run the ball.


I was listening to 103.5
Earlier. They said every time Dak yelled “kill kill” the offense ran. It was like 15 times and they gained like 30 yards at 2 yards per carry.


This means one of two things.

1. Dak is saying kill kill at the wrong times.

Or

2. The defense is in an alignment where the cowboys scheme says they should run the ball and they STILL can’t get a decent gain against a favorable defense to run on



it’s a huge problem.

Is this true??? my 9 year old son was telling me that kill meant run was coming

Uh oh, the Zeke boys ain’t gonna like this.
Actually, I'd like for TPollard to start......let everyone see him be the bell cow.......gives Zeke a chance to rest, like most injured players. And we all get to see a full-time TPollard in the backfield. Can't hurt right? Ride 'em.......until he asks for more money.

We have Pollard under contract until 2023 and won't re-sign him. We should be wearing him out.

When I hear kill kill kill I always think back to the Ravens laughing at us at the end of the game saying how easy it was to show us something and get us to check into a run play then stuff the run that they knew was coming. They dictated what our offense did the entire game. They literally laughed at how dumb we were. At the start of the year it felt like we were winning the scheme game over the opposition. It was like we were finally outcoaching them on offense. Lately it feels like we are slipping back to where we were before this year. I hope we can get things back on track.

As far as Zeke goes I have always said that I was against drafting an RB at 4th overall but Zeke was so amazing as a rookie I was willing to admit that I was wrong. He was quite possibly the best football player on the planet. He has fallen off so far it is mind boggling. People who defend him must not be able to remember how incredible he used to be.

When Elliot is healthy he is the better over all RB.. But right now Pollard had the green light until the injury. He looked good and was surprised he is able to play at that level with that injury. With Elliot getting better and Pollard able to play some it’s going to help the team have a running game in the playoffs..

Love Baldy breakdowns. And he isnt wrong. Pollard is definitely better than Zeke currently.

I just find it funny you use Baldy for these breakdowns to prove your point which most of us already know to be true, but when he comes out and says anything positive about Dak he doesnt know what hes talking about. I just find that incredibly biased on your part.

Also. His breakdowns of Micah are really good to. You know this guy hates Dallas so he is unbiased in all of his takes in my opinion.

Didnt he get suspended for telling Eagles players to get bounties on Cowboys players at one point?

and so what?
sad and pathetic are haters

LOL. Some here like to see what the experts and analysts have to say about our players, whether they are playing well or poorly or somewhere in between.

Maybe it's the injury, but Pollard seemed to not finish on a couple of runs. We're going to need a RB if these two can't manage to stay healthy.

Sounds just like the last coach. We talked about this exact thing even going back to Romo at times.

Maybe the Garrett stink can't be removed from Moore.

I’m just relaying what they said on 105.3 the fan. Gbag nation.

I didn’t actually do the studying of the tape myself.

but it wouldn’t shock me.


Pretty sure it was Broaddus who said it.

I mean we can all see what he's doing here. He knows he likely has a bad contract on his hands now but he has to figure out a way to justify why it was a smart re-signing.

But LOL at defending us paying the largest contract in NFL history for a TB to a guy who is just battering ram with no explosiveness and home run ability.

Yeah that was true about 3 years ago.


Right now Zeke isn’t wearing anyone out to the point they don’t even respect him and they just sit in coverage and focus on stopping Dak.

You want to fix Dak? Pollard is the answer.

Zeke is still operating under the Jerry Jones cloak of protection that much is for sure. What gives me hope is that Jaylon was operating under that cloak of protection for years and the coaching staff was capable of getting him booted even though his money was guaranteed. Zeke is no where near the liability that Jaylon was but if he gets to that point perhaps the boot will come for him as well. One of the hidden benefits of cutting a bum like Jaylon is that it sends a strong message to the rest of the team. I bet it felt like a massive weight was lifted from everyone's shoulders to be able to just move on. Next year we need to draft a new RB and if Zeke can not get the job done we let him go.

Pollard needs to take a page out of the Zeke playbook and sit out for a new deal. Based on the history of contract negotiations with Jerry he would be crazy to finish out his current deal. Yet another reason to get some young fresh legs in to compete at the RB position. 3rd or 4th round.

Smith and Elliott are not really the same situation. They get some cap savings next year from Smith but they were also trying to avoid a $9.2 million base salary from being guaranteed if Smith got hurt this season. That was the driver of their decision. If there wasn't an injury guarantee in place, I suspect Smith would likely still be on our roster right now.

Or defenses hear "kill, kill" and know it's a run.
