Why are we back on this now? The problem isn’t that we aren’t running the overpaid RB enough. The problem is too many turnovers and no takeaways.

Because the conversation must always, always, always be about the offense, even when the defense is 31st in takeaways and the special teams play is beyond awful. It's an iron law of football message boards, apparently.

Drives me bonkers.

It would be so nice if the coaching staff didn't have to have Michael Irvin tell them the obvious, but I can't wait until they start running into eight man boxes for one yard again while ignoring the passing game.

The defense needs a complete overhaul. It's clearly evident.

Every playoff loss this century can be pinned directly on them.

Get rid of this scheme altogether. It's time.

And then perhaps this team can get back to a sustained playoff run.

Irvin said enough is enough....he told Jerry recently, DAL has to go back to what works....run 21!

Agree or disagree?
I think they need to run more, but I also think Michael wouldn’t be saying that if “his son” Dez were still on the team.

I love Mike but it's not as easy as just running the ball more. The offensive line gets its lunch handed to them whenever they face a quality front seven.
Teams stack the box on first down...daring us to throw...and we run it anyway. Just screams of play action

Dak and the defense sure aren't taking them there. The only way is through Zeke and the offensive line.

Still can't believe Zeke only got 5 carries in the second half against Buffalo after a huge first quarter.
Agreed. The OL has to start run blocking better. They are way too talented not too.

Top three rushing teams … Ravens, 49ers, Seahawks … all 10-2.
Tell me why we paid Zeke all that money if he has to rest every other run?
Why did we draft Pollard as his "speller" if we're not going to give him the ball when Zeke gets tired, which seems to be a lot lately?
True. Getting sick and tired of seeing him tap his helmet every other play.

I’m just not sure the o-line can get it all figured out in time. I wouldn’t mind running it 60 times a game as long as it ends up in a victory

Zeke takes us where? Other than getting stuffed running up the middle nonstop.

Its hard to answer a question you asked when the question uses made up facts.

I would attempt to answer it if there was any truth to your statement.

Or was it a rhetorical question you made up in an attempt to bash Zeke?

Exactly, no way would I let Zeke tap out when driving the ball like he did last week. I'd turn him back around and say you can rest when you score a TD.

Question. Does Aikman even talk to Jerry anymore? I mean beside exchanging pleasantries. Certain ex-players always hang around, come around and are welcomed back around. But Aikman doesn't seem to be one of those guys.

What on earth does these stats have anything at all to do with your moronic question I responded to.

How bizarre to respond to my post and pretend whatever you just pulled from your arse has anything at all to do with what your OP was...

I enjoy a good debate. But you just got weird on me.

do you even know what I replied to?
