Poor NFL, they still dont see this coming. They caught a glimpse of it in 2014 with group still new to each other, a rookie and 2nd year player included.
Now the Cowboys have added genuine firepower behind a power wall, a hammer in Morris, a jet engine in Zeke.
The Cowboys will run. If they are unsuccessful at first, they will continue to run. No defense can last a full game of these 300 pound headhunters at the 2nd level. Business decisions will be made, DB's will not commit to sacrificing their body to stopping these RB's 40 times in one game.
The most exposed victims will be thoae scary, QB destroying DE's, scaled down in weight and girth to maximize speed and escapability. The latter word will take on a whole new meaning, as they attempt to escape the punishment of this offensive line being the aggrssor.
Each of these elite linemen have the same diabolical pleasure, seeing the expression on a DB's face as he realizes he is the last hope to tackle the runner and this offensive linemen is between the two of them.
Just when they can't take any more of Morris and his pounding style, in comes a young combination of premium speed and power. Wait, here comes anothr runner later in the season, their thousand yard rusher from last season.
New quarterback a raw rookie? So what? Its not like the opponents are going to have time to savor a sack or two. This offensive line will just keep hitting.
Even winning will feel like losing to Cowboy opponents. All these teams made personnel decisions to stop a league wide trend of prolific passing games.
You will see at some point a curious tendency on the part of the Cowboy offense. At some point in some games they wont even cover or disguise their intent. It wont matter if the defense knows they are going to run.
Anybody remember a quarterback by the name of Joe Ferguson? During his rookie year he was the starter but very few remember. Once you find out who he was it wont be difficult to understand why defenses did not base their strategy on bullying a rookie quarterback.
The NFL MVP this season will be a.group of co-winners.
