IRVING, Texas - As the Cowboys come back from the Thanksgiving Day break, this is the time of year when things start to heat up. With four games left on the schedule, the Cowboys are 7-5 with a legitimate shot to make the playoffs as they remain tied for first in the NFC East.
Football analyst Bryan Broaddus answers a few pressing questions about the current state of the Cowboys.
1. How much will Lance Dunbar’s injury affect the offense? Do they have anyone to replace that added dimension?
Broaddus: The loss of Dunbar takes away the ability for this offense to have that player that can make those loose plays in the open field. He just brought a different dynamic for the pace in which he played. With Murray it’s a steady pounding and you get use to that style on defense, then all of the sudden, you had the ball to Dunbar and he is into the second level in a flash. What is a shame is that they didn’t use him more this season in that role. Coaches will tell you that injuries and ball security were reasons but he is just such a different type of back when you can get him rolling. Those loose plays are going to have to come fromCole Beasley in the passing game because as they are set up now, they don’t have a Lance Dunbar type of back on this roster.
2. How would you assess Tyron Smith’s play at left tackle lately?
