The Cowboys hired Scott Linehan in late January as their passing game coordinator.
But the new passing game coordinator knew right away that the Cowboys wanted to emphasize the running game. Coach Jason Garrett made that clear before Linehan took the job.
Linehan, who also serves as the Cowboys’ offensive play-caller, went to work, putting together a plan that has Dallas leading the NFL in rushing through six games.
“Doesn’t take a genius to figure out when you’ve got a great offensive line and a great running back,” Linehan said. “I am not a genius. Just ask anybody.”
Linehan hasn’t ignored the Cowboys’ passing game, however. In fact, as he’s done in all of his previous NFL stops, Linehan has emphasized getting the football in the hands of his top offensive threats more.
