One inexcusable mistake by KM

The sample size is big enough now to say that KM doesn't commit to the run game. He is a former QB and that shows in his play-calling ability. I don't think this is a Zeke vs Pollard issue. Zeke is better at blocking and thus is in the game more. When a run gets called, he is there. KM has no ability to design packages or get his players involved, so thus Pollard sits there with only 5-6 plays a game. And if the Cowboys get down at all, KM is pass first...pass always. In all of our losses this year, KM has called at least a 2/1 pass to run ratio in the game. Sometimes 3 to run. Hard to get Pollard involved when you are only running plays to your RB 15 times a game.

Believe me, it’s Dak that wants Zeke in the game. What they should have done is run 2 rb sets more often and use Pollards hands more. Let him run the same amount. Then they utilize him more and keep the defense guessing run or pass on 2nd down.

Our TE’s are average and below average blockers, although Schultz played well this year for what he got paid in the passing game. Jarwin, I would release to save the 4.5 million. Draft a rookie, even if you have to use your 2nd rounder. We need to draft a rb also. Pollard won’t be resigned.

Remember they played Jaylon until he finally broke down. Jerry’s not happy seeing money on the bench.

Jerry doesn't care as long as you win. His issue would be why did he pay a guy you signed off for and then he instantly sucks. Coach has to have the stones to tell jerry the truth regarding player performances. Jerry just goes by what he's told.

I don’t believe that’s a good excuse

jerry cares about winning

not everything is all on Jerry

remember he drafted pollard.

This has to be on mm or km

Not to mention Bosa and another SF lineman was out of the game...could have taken advantage of that situation.

Also use a 2 back set to keep the defense guessing instead of the always one back set.
KM has no creativity at all.

My fear is JJ would make him HC if McCarthy is gone, BUT I will believe McCarthy will be gone only when I see it. Not sure JJ will pull the trigger on this.

I hope Kellen takes a job somewhere

this offense needs major overhauling. It’s been tried for years and only romo could somewhat make it work
I don’t blame Moore for the player’s inability to execute. At some point, we have to stop blaming the coaches for the failures by the players. These overpaid gutless wonders needs to be held accountable.

I think the owner is the issue with Zeke getting all those touches.

Agreed. Zeke had a legit injury and you have to imagine that if he had been given adequate time to heal we would have still made the playoffs and he would have been more than just a serviceable back yesterday.

If we had any semblance of a running game yesterday the outcome would have been totally different.

You can tell Jerry forced him to play throughout the season and likely shaved a year or two off his career trying to prove that point. Shameful.

How in the hell do you not use pollard more?

the one touchdown drive you had, pollard was featured throughout.
That is also the one TD drive where we left extra blockers in( 2 extra O lineman ). We should have continued doing this until they stopped it, but no we just go back to leaving our five O lineman against their 4 D lineman, who were kicking our butt all day when they were not getting help.
