How bad is the Running game

[CowboysFaninHouston]

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

 

[nate dizzle]

All the way bad.

 

[Verdict]

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

 

[NDGAEDE]

It is truly awful. It hurts.

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

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Probably worst in the league.

Maybe even historically bad.

 

[Aven8]

This was our best running game so far

 

[ClappingCarrot]

It's hard to be excited about this effort.

The Giants are just that bad.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

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.

 

[baltcowboy]

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.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Bring Trey in to help with the run.

 

[goshann]

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

It's not as bad as it seems.

Yes the idea a young line, with 2 rookies could actually gain experience working together and gel as a unit is impossible.

You want to tell me the oline coach sucks and is the problem and you may have a point, but it's not impossible for them to improve given the circumstances.

 

[CWR]

It's not as bad as it seems.

They actually did well towards the end and for 2 weeks straight Rico has been over 4ypc. This unit needs time.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

I thought running backs grew on trees. On most teams Rico dowdle would barely get off the bench

It's a process.

Jerry feels it's fine that's all that matters

 

[Bigrandrn]

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

Our line and run scheme may not allow it even with a good back.

 

[Coogiguy03]

No we wouldn't
