Check out these rushing totals

[CTcowboy203]

So...run blocking and schemes aren't part of the run game and accumulated stats. ....okay got it!


I never called anyone stupid. Go back and read it again.

Except….last week the o line played pretty cleanly, while the run game was lacking - considering our best plays were from our wr. So yes while there is always correlation between the o line and the run game, I believe the o line will at least be serviceable at worst while the run game is and has been a concern since march.

You quoted me and were wrong and u look like an ***….just admit it and move on

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

The running backs suck and the OL needs to play better.

It’s both. It’s been both.

Fully agreed. That is all I am saying.

And the coaches too. They can't figure out what to do with it.

 

[shabazz]

Don’t forget the rookie offensive lineman that were sold as fixes to the running game……. Before taking a single snap in the NFL

I like Guyton and Beebe but selling them as saviors of the running game in their rookie season was always dumb.

The same ones were selling Overshown, Liufau and Kendricks as INSTANT fixes to the LB corp as well......I cautioned them about inexperience and past injuries.

The LBs were running around like chickens with their heads cut off and rag- dolled when trying to shed blocks.......in the future they MAY be good but let's pump the damn brakes

 

[Rockport]

Save your energy, I think this season is going to be rough. Really rough.

Don’t worry, I don’t give up so easily. It’s a long season it was just 1 game.

Last week zeke had 4.0 ypc. Is that not good enough? That shows the line..and zeke played pretty good.

Except Cleveland played without their two DTs?

I quoted you...with my opinion. And I fully stand by that opinion that it is NOT JUST the RBs.

We disagree...it's okay. I do think I have a bit more levity and objectiveness in it. If you want to SHOW me the offensive line making huge holes our RBs can't make it through...I'm willing to reconsider.

Saying I’m blaming everything on the run game isn’t an opinion….its a misinformed blanket statement. These running backs suck. I have more confidence in the line w 2 all pros on it then a cooked zeke, Rico and deuce

 

[MyFairLady]

At least Rico looks like it takes effort to get him down. Zeke goes down like an old man into a warm bath. Deuce is a tiny baby. Turpin is a teeny tiny baby. We need football players ASAP.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Prime Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett wouldn't have saved this game today.

Not even sure what you are saying now.

I never said you blamed everything on the run game.

Looks like we're in the weeds now.

The road graders, not so much

Precisely.

This is way bigger than just RBs and it's very easy to see, Even my wife saw it.

"Why do we keep running that play" she said. Simple up the middle....we can't do and haven;t since Travis left.

 

[Ranching]

Gee, if only some of us could have seen this coming, and warned about it in the off season. I guess we were just being "haters".

Nah, haters will always find something to hate...it's just in their DNA. IIWII

 

[CTcowboy203]

See my above post.

Simply blaming just the RBS is STUPID.

“Simply blaming the run game is stupid”……

 

[baltcowboy]

Rico - 30 yards
Zeke - 16
Dak - 12
Deuce - 11
Turpin - 2
Cooks minus three

Hard for any team to win with those rushing numbers.
But our answer to helping the running game this year was not to draft a RB and add two older cheap RBs in Zeke and Dalvin.

Give Cook a chance. Dowdle is JAG. No team fears are running backs.

 

[CTcowboy203]

The o line needs to be better, they can be, the running game won’t be. We do not have a lead back at all.

Mike McCarthy lacks creativity with the running game. Very basic concepts.

 

[StarMan2112]

Not true at all.


I never insulted anyone personally. I did insult the IDEA of just blaming only the running backs for our run game disasters.

It might be too fine of a point for you to get.

You just proved me right. That last sentence isn’t an insult?

 

[NDGAEDE]

Thing that drove me nuts at the start of the game: We are playing musical chairs at RB, running jet screens, and the announcers are saying, "they are just trying to figure something out". Guys, the time to figure out the running game is in the OFFSEASON. You SHOULD know how you plan to gain yards on the ground WAY before the season starts.

We literally entered this year thinking, 'Zeke comeback!' And that was the entire plan.

Agreed.

Problem is. Our incompetent FO does nothing in FA. And so our only hope as fans is for rookies from the draft to be ready to play from game 1 and be good.

It’s just not realistic most of the time.

Time to pull the plug on Deuce, he's not an NFL running back.................
