If we want Dak to be 2016 Dak we need the 2016 running game

Many times in fact. Huge college football fan, specifically the Wisconsin Badgers. Now THAT is a team that can run the rock. Always have been, always will be. This type of dominant run game generally produces a passing game that functions MUCH better than its actual talent level. It leads to QB's seeing a lot of easy reads and throwing through massive passing windows for easy completions. Its how Ex Badger QB Scott Tolzein ended up leading the nation in PASSING when he was in school........LOL

Hate to say it, but this is exactly what went on in Daks first year. Dont get me wrong, the kid did fantastic, its just that IMO much of his success can be attributed to Zeke and the O line. I said it then when it was happening. I REALLY want to be wrong about this but as we sit here today I dont think so. Like I say, Ive seen this show many times in the past and know exactly what it looks like.

In otherwords.......... If we want Dak to be the Dak of 2016 we need to roll out the running game of 2016. If we dont.............. last week is what we will keep getting.

The coaching staff out smarted itself. Yes defenses adjust, but they’re trying to force dak into being something he’s not. So yes on a technical level the offense may be fine, but this team doesn’t shape its system to the players it has. It demands a system and doesn’t adjust, “its all about executing the system” never adjust to opponents. Never adjust during a game. Never think this is our qb, lets craft something that will allow him to succeed. A player on the line gets injured, they don’t even adjust to this and just keep on. Its such a foolish and hardheaded way to do things.

And maybe get Zeke involved a bit more in the passing game too. He's more than just a RB. Hey how about trying Oliwale in the passing game. How about the two of them in the back field. IDK grasping at straws

Some will argue stacked box...they stacked it in 2016 too.

I think it would help if Dak ran more.
