Sweet

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

part of the problem is our redzone offense. we got inside the 20 and we sucked.

 

[Hardline]

All three highly drafted.
All three putting up big time numbers.

...Hopefully the new genius OC Moore will bring them "More" TDs in the red zone this season!...

 

[Bobhaze]

I would trade those stats for the rams playoff wins last year. Stats are only as good as they help you win in the playoffs. I appreciate Zeke’s performance but the bottom line with those impressive stats is we lost in the divisional round.

...Hopefully the new genius OC Moore will bring them "More" TDs in the red zone this season!...

Hopefully we can spread the defense out and have Zeke in the backfield in the red zone. This way he isn’t going against a 9 man front.

4 WRs, Singleback would be deadly with Zeke.

Some more QB options and we could literally be unstoppable.

But I’m sure Jason Garrett will overrule Moore and go for the goal line formation run up the gut every time!

Barkley was the NY offense last year, and will be again this year. And we held him in check the first game, and he got 100 yards rushing in the 2nd game, because half our D was on the bench in the 2nd half of that game.
Stop him, stop NY which is not saying a lot unless they somehow improved and put it together.

Gurley and just the Rams offense they need to figure out how to stop. At least we have them at home this year. need to get that run defense fixed against their style offense.

Zeke is the RB that should lead the NFL again in rushing, depending on how Moore calls the plays. Will he be a little more pass happy, or if he is, and it is successful, then Zeke will have more room to run since they can't load the box all the time.

 

[CouchCoach]

Stats schmats, that TD level sucks for the leading rusher, looks like Barry Sanders' stat line.

As far as the RZ offense, isn't he part of that, isn't he supposed to fix that?

They're wanting to pay him equal to that TD ranking and that will be the biggest mistake this team makes with any re-signed player.

TD Total ............. ............. 1 ............. 3 ............. 16

Rush Yards ........ ............. 3 ............. 2 ............. 1
RCV Yards/Rec .. ............. 7 ............. 4 ............. 8

As a coach, you can't look at that and say we did a good job with our running game near the goal line. Fixing that has to be a priority, more than figuring out how to make the passing game more effective in that area.

Agree.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Nice post xwalker.

But I got to say the "RCV" was confusing for about 30 seconds. I'm used to seeing that shown as --Rec. yards.

 

[Longboysfan]

Barkley - Giants will use him up in 4 seasons.
Eli is done. New QB will have to lean on him for offense.

Decided to get cute instead of running it with our RB.

I'm hoping Moore has the Cowboys leading the league in rushing, but not Zeke. Dak,Olawale,Pollard,Cobb, Austin are all legitimate run threats. Spread the carries.
