Zeke is an afterthought

mattjames2010 · Nov 28, 2019

Zeke had 12 carries, 71 yards and 5.9 YPC average and only had 1 carry after around 9 minutes into the third quarter. We were not getting blown out at this point, we still could have used the run game, but it's clear as day now that this offense is trying to become a pass first offense.

A $100 million RB who doesn't get carries in critical moments to help bring us back in a game.

This post should get more play. It is singly the most important reason they lost to the Bills. The running game keeps our defense off the field and we desperately need that.

90 million wasted.

And, no, that isn't a knock against the RB, Dude is starting to produce and find his groove. Coaching is holding him back with play calling.

It's also why the lost to the Pats. 90million was getting rolling and, every time he would get taken out. Can't find a groove. F the coaches.

Coaching is holding the entire team back from all 3 phases

Legit question and not a troll attempt:

How do we know Dak isn't changing to pass plays at the line? Maybe it isn't all coaching....

Just throwing that out there for discussion

Nice to see some other folks get it. :clap:

Zeke had five carries on the opening drive and gained 40% of the yards. The Cowboys scored a TD. He got seven carries over the next 3 and a half quarters. SEVEN!

That's bleeping ridiculous. JG and Moore should both be looking for jobs in January.

12 carries. 5 on 1st drive.

Rest of game....7. Just 7!!!!!!!!!!

Good grief.

And pass plays seem so slow to develop plus Dak had poor pocket presence today

Pathetic

Dak was bad today.

Defense was worse.

@mattjames2010 is right, they abandoned the running game. It was working. I feel the FG issues are a major concern, but there was plenty of time to run more than 12 carries. Hell, the screen worked and they abandoned that too. It's glaringly obvious we quit on it by running so many shotgun formation plays

Maybe. But I imagine this is a Moore thing, he wants this to be a more aggressive passing team - I'm just not sure that's Dak's game, and his turnovers are increased greatly.

We will need these run stats to change if we are going to do anything this season. Hopefully, Jason will have a talk with our wonder boy offensive coordinator. I guess hearing everyone tell you that you are the number one offense in the league can cloud your judgment and get you away from your winning formula.

When the run doesn't work, we get more runs. When it works...

What happens when you hire incompetent coaches

Bleedblue1111 · Nov 28, 2019

I was in the fire Linehan camp, but to his credit, he never abandoned the run, especially when it was working. Moore has done it two weeks straight.

These same posters would be howling if we were trying to run the ball down 23-7.

gmb1 · Nov 28, 2019

But I thought Kellen Moore was great?

....not when it was working and we had nearly 2 quarters left in the game.
