Was RB

i wanted a RB that would punish defenses and put the fear of god into them. Defenses don’t fear this running game anymore.

We are more of a reactive team instead of proactive one. It’s going to take another Zeke injury to tell us we need more depth at this position

pollard is pretty damn good but I see him as like Felix Jones. You give him more and you’ll get less

I really wish they would’ve drafted high in this position

I think they were looking for one with one of their 5ths but the ones they liked were gone in the 4th. I would have liked Spiller.

one word CAP
you can only have so many steaks on one plate

that said, i dont agree with you. You have to consider Zeke as a pound it up the middle option. Hopefully he has a healthier year.

There's a logical reason why teams don't fear the running game - they know if they can stop that, Dallas doesn't have a QB who can put the team on his shoulders and carry them.

People feared our ground game because of the offensive line. Elliott led the league in yards before contact when this offensive line was in it's prime. If the offensive line can regain its swagger, I have no doubt our running backs will feast, and Dak and the passing game will also benefit.

I do think they need another rb and wouldn't of been upset if they drafted one. My thoughts are you should draft a RB often keep them young and never give a second contract.

I would have liked another OLinemen.
Can't run the ball without holes to run through.

Not in agreement. You can't stack a position when you have so many other positions to address because you don't use free agency.

Two RBs who *should* be in their contract years and we did nothing to prepare at RB for 2023.

Are we really going to be paying premium dollars to not premium Zeke forever? I see no evidence of another plan.
