Currently we're at a franchise record 19 games without a 100 yard rusher

Anyone watch the Niner game???

McCaffrey, then undrafted Jordan Mason, then Issac Guerendo.

RB by committee works great when you have a dominant online.

If the committee has some talent it can work. Dowdle is our best Rb but if you cut him tomorrow, how many teams would rush to sign him? Committee will work if you have some degree of talent in that committee

If you average run is 3.5 yards before being touched any RB can have success.

If it s truly Rbbc it shouldnt be an issue, total running yards if its 130-150 range in 35 atttempts , should be plenty, combined with effective passing gameof 200+ yards.

It is definitely an issue with your D gives up 5 TD's in a row to good teams.

The Cowboys changed their run blocking scheme and had a lot better success against the Steelers so hopefully things are looking up when it comes to the run game.

Meaningless . W’s are meaningful

We are a top 10 team. Meaning we should win 60% of our games or at least 10 wins depending on the schedule.

The problem is the other 40% of the teams are usually in the playoffs.

12 in that last 19 or .63

Interesting.

I recall a certain poster (who has been missing as of late) making posts about Dak needing a 100 yard rusher to win football games. Which was shown to be a league wide thing.

Now it seems Dak is managing to win games without said 100 yards rushing at a pretty high clip.

Gotta love when those fallacies get proven false.

That is a fact. Did you just start watching football this year.

How about you go check Boy Wonders record when E. Smith ran for 100+ and when he did not.

A runner needs 20-25 carries a game, that is what emmitt wanted and got.
here we dont run much (15) and split the carries between 2-3 guys.

 

[DandyDon52]

Cowboys have never had a running back, ever catch more than two touchdowns in a game

I think preston pearson did once?

E Smith was 57-19 when he ran for 100+ yards or
75% win percentage.

Troy Aikman career record was 94-71

So if you do the math Troy was 34 - 52 without E. Smith rushing for 100+ yards. So Troy lost 60% of his game without E. Smith.

Conclusion E. Smith literally carried Boy Wonder to victory.

Nope, not even a receiver.

 

[Whirlwin]

Maybe imbalance. But hey, we are consistent we at least got that going for us.

Lol

I had Dallas at 11-6 before season

 

[IceStar-D7]

These guys are horrible. Like putting lipstick on a pig. Of any running back we've ever had. Who would any of them send to the backup role???

 

[HungryLion]

Theres some fans who who believe Zeke can still produce 100 yards

He can if you give him the ball about 30-32 times

[MikeT22]

After Sunday, it will probably be 20.
was that the correct way to do that?

20 does immediately follow 19

Ummmm. What are you on about?

I said it’s a league wide thing. Look at every QB in the league and tell me their win percentages without a 100 yard rusher.

I’ll wait.

I’ve already done the research once to make one poster stop using it as an argument.

Also. Dak seems to be winning games now without one. So there’s that. Which was the whole point of my post. Not sure why you’re so angry about it.

Oh so now Aikman played his whole career with E Smith.. you may want to redo "the math".

Troy played on some great teams and some absolutely rubbish teams.

Stats are for you fantasy football nerds.. you always need context.

How long have we had this OL coach?
Asking for a friend.

We have 2 run plays.
