Cowboys Running Game Against GB

[big dog cowboy]

Against the softer GB defense the Cowboys should be able to get the running game going.

This is what we want to see!

I would not be surprised to see Pollard having big game. OL 1st unit players will all be back and Pollard has been showing signs of running stronger

this is gonna really be fully up to how Mike McCarthy wants to call this game we need him to be thinking like this maybe the start of that Miami game that first 15 play drive the run game was pretty good use the fullback mower was very creative is he gonna throw a lot early and set up the run like usual or is he gonna come out conservative try to run the ball traditional offense I mean if he wants to win this game he needs to come out to get a big lead early and then settle into the run game that's typically what he's done of late... But I think the last three or four games he's actually been piercing together a game plan for the playoffs and again I think that 15 play drive into my end game was pretty impressive I'd like to see more of that type of play calling...

The Packers play shell coverage
The way to beat it is ti not try to be a hero with the deep pass but to force them out of it by running the ball and throwing check downs
Then throw the deep ball when the safeties are forced to cheat up

A few weeks ago, I was convinced Pollard had lost his speed and burst for good. But, according to one of the advanced metrics sites, he ranks third over the last part of the season. Hopefully we get the old Pollard in the playoffs.

I think it's imperative the Cowboys win the time of possession battle by a substantial amount, so I look for a big day from Pollard n Rico. I except the Safeties to play deep to combat the passing game, so McCarthy needs to take what the Defense gives them. It's still target CeeDee 15 times, but be smart about it.

Cowboys have entered the playoffs with a new OC and his offense. The offense continues to evolve as the players adjust to it. Run game needs to keep pace and keep the opposing D honest. I hope the Cowboys use it effectively, especially like it was earlier this year.
Nice surprise to see Pollard has some good metrics.

That would be huge. Getting the old Pollard back for the playoffs.

New offensive coordinator and mix that with Dak Prescott being able to make calls also, at the line of scrimmage.

This seems like an opportunity to get the ground game going finally. That said, keeping it going throughout the playoffs will be a monumental task.
