Both Zeke and Pollard are in their contract years and the Cowboys need to figure out if one or neither of them are worth resigning in 2023.

Also Kellen Moore did a lousy job bringing out those trick plays with Zeke and Pollard way too early in the game last night. Dallas had a solid opening drive and could have got something going had they not lost huge yardage on dumb gadgets. Plays like that are almost like admitting you can't beat an opponent playing regularly in my opinion.

The team goes as Zeke goes, but they quit giving him the ball.

Even after he averaged over 5 YPC.

That's flat stupid.
2 carries equals a first down. But nope gotta toss the ball to receivers in lieu of running. Whatever happened to running the ball down their throats till the defense stops it? Why is Pollard ran up the gut?

I actually felt bad for Zeke. He was ready.

And they just ignored him.

Exactly right.

Zeke looked like one of very few "highlights" of the game. Strong, twitchy, even fast. If there's to be any chance to salvage the season, we need to take the ball out of the hands of Rush as often as possible.

I felt as flat about a game after the loss last year to the 49rs as I've felt in years. Sadly, that feeling has returned 1 game later.......can't believe it.

Do these people not know that what makes sport great is hope..............they've taken that away and the season is 5 minutes old.

Yeah, when a team quits running they're done. Not the other way around. If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing right

Especially this team.

They abandoned the run, and the hot hand.

The only highlight on offense.

That, and Tyler Smith, at times.

They were running the ball very well. The problem is that a lot of times 2nd & 5 would become 2nd & 15 after a penalty and at that point running is out of the question.

The penalties are mystifying to me. Our offense is very limited and we have to tay on schedule to even have hope of putting up some points. Getting 1-2 flags per drive is just going to be devastating considering we don't have the personnel to overcome it.

We have no choice now but to run the ball and everyone knows it! Stack the box and let Rush beat you with his arm,,,

I totally agree. This team just is not fun to watch. I know that no matter how many games we win, the inevitable collapse is imminent. This year we're lucky it happened early so now the hope doesn't have to build up to an unreasonable amount.

He looked better than last year but I will believe Zeke is back when I see a run of 15 yards or more.
