so far in 3 games we have 221 yards rushing. good for 30th in the league. the other two teams are bears and raiders.

by comparison, there are 11 RBs that have more yards than the cowboys as a team.

Dowdle our top RB is 49th in the league. meaning he is worse than most back ups. Zeke is 63rd....ouch.

this is bad, really bad.

on top of that we are 29th in YPA, the other three teams are rams, bears and raiders.
there are 35 RBs that have better average than the cowboys as a team.

this is bad. really bad

Dallas could trade for a middling RB and be drastically better as a team.

It is truly awful. It hurts.

Everytime there's an obvious run on 1st or 2nd, settle in for 3rd an 8

This isn't a RB issue, it's an OL issue. That isn't gonna get fixed this year, or probably ever the way Jerral works.

I don’t know how the Giants are so bad defensively with their front 7 players. I am not sure if given a choice I would take Parsons over Lawrence and Burns/KT are book end pass rushers.

Thought the run blocking was the best today of any game this season
