Ezekiel Elliott Last Year

[jwooten15]

Always a run on 1st down and it's always out of a heavy run formation and we blame the OL...

Always a short pass on 2nd down to Beasley or Witten.

3rd down either repeat 2nd down or throw a 50/50 to Dez.

Scott Linehan, is that you?

It's actually the Giants plan from last year. Keep Dak in the pocket. Crowd the line of scrimmage against run formations. Blitz on third. As much as people want this to be Dak or Zeke or Dez or the OL, it's not the simple. Dallas has had trouble with the blitz with Romo, Murray and peke Dez. It crept into last year at times. Killed 2013, 2015, and now maybe 2017.

Romo with a running game in 2014 and the new zone blocking scheme from Callahan and Garrett gone as OC didn't have that problem..
