Cowboys don't run enough but all SF does is run?

The narrative is we don't run enough and that's all SF does and that makes SF more "physical" offense and the Cowboys a "finesse" offense.
So, I looked up how much SF run more than us. I also looked up the Titans stats to see how it compares since that's the team I consider "physical". I was pleasantly surprised.

Code: 
           Att    Yds    TD    Y/A
49ners    499    2166    22    4.3
Cowboys   473    2119    15    4.5
Titans    551    2404    23    4.4

Niners only ran 26 more times than us this season. That's 1.5 more attempt a game. And they actually only gained 47 yards more which comes out to be 2.7 yards total more per game.

Would we also be called a "physical" offense by the media had we attempted to run 1.5 more and gained 2.7 more yards per game?
If anything, we are a "Balanced" offense passing 59% and running 41%.

That’s interesting. They get more TDs off there runs. They either have more points than us or we throw it in the end zone more than them..

I was listening to Broaddus a minute ago and he said the Cowboys just need to make them one dimensional by scoring. Get them out of the run game. He thinks Dak will have a lot of luck against there secondary too.

If you watch them though you'll see the difference. They've been running successfully on stout teams while we haven't.

It’s not going to make the difference. Because they won’t run in the end zone they still need the quarterback and that’s their issue

Deebo Samuel had over 1400 receiving yards so they can throw the ball. Jimmy G put up 316 yards and two TDs against the Rams.

I know what OUR offense should be doing Sunday..

EPA/play on 1st and 2nd down

DAL rush offense: -0.06 (11th best)
SF run defense: -0.17 allowed (2nd best)

DAL pass offense: +0.17 (4th best)
SF pass defense: +0.10 allowed (20th best)

100%. And the funny part is, our run games are almost identical, yet ours is considered awful and there’s is “great”.

If the Cowboys can jump on the 49ers and get up a couple of scores early, I think the flood gates could really open up for the D to steal it from Garoppolo.

i think that it's mostly slanted towards the second half of the year. early on we were running it extremely well. last month and change it's been poor. they're trending up and we've been trending down. what have you done for me lately and all that jazz
