It's a literally proven fact that, with Dak, if you run more than you pass your chance at winning is much higher.

While true, this team does nothing to support that notion.
RB1 Zeke
RB2 Pollard
RB3 nada

50% - 50% & fire Kellen Moore!

Poor Kellen after another Dak season he will become the new scape-goat axed along with MM.....many preceded him and many will follow.....

It's hard to establish the run early in the game, because the defense is still fresh. Moore is your play caller...as soon as he sees the run being stuffed, early in the game, he's going to go away from it. Run on first down, run on second down, then try to pass it on third down, is exactly what Moore does to get this team in trouble. And people wonder why our offense starts off slow. We pick up one first down in three possession and panic.

In a weird way I do hope we decide to go your route and pass it more than run it.

Nothing else will get Dak outta here faster than that.

the problem with this is the teams that are winning pad their rushing attempts in the 4th quarter and the teams that are losing pad their passing attempts

so do teams (not just Dak) win more because they run or do teams that win…get an opportunity to run more?

Because the biggest indication of winning is passing efficiency.

And 60% isn't close to realistic, even the Titans who lead the league in rushing attemps were about 52/48 passing over running

I think Philly was probably the team that proportionally ran the most and they were about 54/46 run...but their QB also lead the team in rushing attempts, yards and TDs

McKDaddy · May 20, 2022

It's about efficiency not %'s. You need to be able to do both even when the other team knows it's coming.

Our problem is we haven't been able to grind out the yards on the ground with any consistency even when defense wasn't over committed to stopping us. Led to trying to pass against defenses that knew what was coming. And our execution in the passing game is erratic.

So, easiest route is to control the game with a better running attack & use that to create easy passing opportunities.

Bullflop · May 20, 2022

I believe I'll go with the 60% pass and 40% run, as an appreciably effective offensive idea.
Of course, that's allowed to deviate, depending upon whatever the defense allows. :thumbup:

DanA · May 20, 2022

56% pass
44% run

But I do think we need to have a bit more diversity with play action, jet sweeps, draws, RPO’s, and designed QB runs.

Yet KM could benefit himself and Dak if he had the huevos to call an offensive gameplan that applied to the talent available.
Adding Washington was a step in the right direction, but then nothing else, drafted rook Tolbert, so at least KM has wr prospects, but we needed and will continue needing a RB3 with upside on this roster.

I believe situational football is what consistently wins. You can’t just say, “We’re going to run the ball 35times a game no matter what.” Or pass the same way. Sometimes the defense loads up to stop you and it’s very difficult to just dominate a team physically. Those 90s Cowboys teams could do that. Not this version.

A good example of situational football is how New England has done an all out passing or all out running game (with both Brady and Mac Jones) from time to time, and won. Last year NE beat Buffalo only passing 6-7 times. And they won several games last year only running the ball 15 times. NE’s former OC Josh McDaniel was the master of this.

We need to be able to run and pass. But how much will depend a lot on matchups, how the defense plays us, etc. I’m amazed at how many people think, “Just keep feeding Zeke- if he gets 20 carries, we win”. That’s just foolish. Being able to run and pass in various situations is what’s critical.

We need to try and recreate the 2016 offense as close as possible.

That style of play requires the players to be smart and minimize mistakes and capitalize on the opponents. It's not about minimizing what Dak gets to do. We've got a good team we just need them to be a smarter, consistent, and more focused team.

An overrated stat.

Offenses should be malleable based on defensive weakness of the opposition. You can run 80% one week and pass 80% the next.

Offenses should be exploiting weaknesses, not looking for balance

With that pathetic OL, how can any of our backs find a hole? Good thing Dak isn't a pocket passer or he would have had many concusions already. Ridiculous!

Teague31 · May 20, 2022

99% run
1% pass

cause Dak sucks.

I recommend passing on all the downs they aren't running, otherwise punt or kick a FG

JonesBoys · May 20, 2022

Depends on the opponent and the game situation. For example opening night last year against TB they played it right. Pass heavy instead of running into a wall and the strength of their defense. Secondary was weak so they attacked it.

stuckindc · May 20, 2022

A lot has to do with opponent your playing. Belichek would design a game plan to exploit/ attack that team’s weakness(s). So it’s not just a simple equation.

If a horse(Dak) is for the glue factory no matter who trains them don't expect any Triple Crown wins......

In fairness, any team that could run effectively that frequently would have a much higher chance of winning
