I know you look a the stats and its only 3 for 16 yards. But I counted a bunch of times early where we used the read option, or used an RPO. It is impossible to defend. When you have a guy as big as dak, a dominant Oline, and two good backs. If you can make the defense react a split second late your doing ok.

Dak since being a cowboys has struggled early in games. Once he gets into rhythm in games he is great. So why not have him use his legs, pick up a couple key first downs early. Get into rhythm, gain confidence and just go play football?

Thats what I felt we did yesterday. It wasn't so much the quarterback runs, but the threat of the qb run. Its a huge weapon we need to continue to use in our arsenal. 3rd and 3 or less should be an auto first down for this team every time. Hopefully we continue to use it, cause I definitely feel it helps this team and Dak.

I thought the Chicago offensive plan showed there may still be some juice left in Prescott's legs.
I agree with you on including his legs into the offensive gameplan whether by RPO or even 5 to 6 designed runs a game.
Whatever even remotely resembles that 2016 version of Dak I'm all for.

What do you think he’s been doing all along is nothing new. He just wasn’t healthy.

Glad to see. See so many time where there is no one in front of him and instead of taking off he throws it into triple coverage. Take off make the defense account for you.
