The recipe to fix this team is quite simple

Dak is a much better qb when there’s a running game. They need to add two quality pieces to this oline and I would invest in a young rb

I think it was correctable during this season simply by resting Zeke, varying types of run plays, not abandoned the run.

Tired of hearing the same ol " gotta run the football"! Chiefs, Packers, Bills, Rams, Bengals, Tampa, and even the 9ers tonight are throwing!!!!!!!!!!! This weekend and last weekend, you guys see all the running backs and O-line opening holes so we could watch 100 yard running backs?????????? NO! If we can not throw the football down the field or even attempt too, rinse and repeat!!!!!!!!! And I do not mean 8 checkdowns and 6 swing passes to go 14 for 14.........etc.... etc.....

People act like Dak is out there running around making the plays up as he goes ...

No sir , the playcalling is done., and the offense follows instruction .

Other than Dak throwing a desperation dump off to cement shoes 21, we don't involve the RBs in the passing game.

That aside, running the ball is one thing, the threat of being able to do it is another.

At the end of this past season, teams didn't have to ever worry about Dak taking off with the ball or us doing much in the run game.

I think having an okay center is a recipe for disaster
Doug free was ok and he did really good with Dallas. Kosier and gurode we're ok and did really good with this team. Ron Leary was ok and did really good.

What they need to do is put Collins back at lg, Steele at rt and I think biadasz would be ok. But bring in somebody to complete with him

They completely whiffed on Collins and Steele this year. Fire Philbin already.

I think every single one of those players is better than our current talent in the interior of this line

You forgot to also get someone adequate to replace TSmith when he misses half of the season again. Someone good enough to eventually be the starter.

Not a simple fix. The Cowboys had a great OL from 2014-2017 with 3 All-Pro players and it didn't matter. It will take more than an upgrade in talent - it's going to take a complete culture change plus great coaching/playcalling. Probably not happening under Jerry and Stephen.
