We know we're gonna have a strong running game. Zeke, Morris, Dunbar, and Darrius Jackson forms what is easily the deepest backfield in Cowboys' illustrious history. We'll ground and pound teams.

Looking at BTB, I learned that 14 of our 16 opponents this year are not very good against the pass: http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2016...s-in-2016-against-below-average-pass-defenses

Linehan will have teams truly having to pick their poison when they play us. And we should dominate TOP with our running game. 30ppg is a very strong possibility.

Dunbar and DJackson made the team?

Depends on the health of Mr Romo.

Cut, for a mere $100K. Don't get me wrong, I like DMC. But his best ability should be availability. With his injury history, I could easily see Stephen cutting ties with him. There's nothing he can do that isn't already duplicated:

1) Pass blocker: Zeke
2) Pass catcher: Zeke, Dunbar
3) Runner: Zeke, Morris (esp in ZBS)

If Jackson is a good ZBS runner, DMC is a goner.

Looking forward to it!

But come on...Deepest backfield ever?
Before two of them listed have ever taken a snap?
:huh:

You know, we did have BOTH Tony Dorsett and Hershall Walker on the same team at one time.

I don't know if we would average that high, but I would love it if they went for two more often. Heck if they were at 50% efficiency, that would match being 100% at extra points.

How great would it be to take the opening drive for a touchdown against the Giants and then as soon as the ref spots the ball you line up for two as Romo never left the field. Balls. 8-0. Have the opponent chasing that point all game. Even if we don't convert, I would love the decision.

Probably not. In 2014 they ran for 2354 yards.... only 1 team in NFL history has ever ran for more yards and averaged 30. 30 ppg is the realm of passing teams.
