Before Parcells left, Jerry built the strongest offensive line in the NFL. Jason Garrett and Tony Romo were insistent on the passing game, but the Cowboys were going no where.
Suddenly Tashard Choice and Felix Jones were given the opportunity to carry the offense, and the result was an explosion. The Cowboys beat the previously undefeated Saints along the way, and in the game that would determine the NFC East champion they ran all over the Eagles. The very next week they did it again, with Choice and Jones combining for over 200 yds in each game.
Just as suddenly as the run game materialized, Garrett and Romo abandoned it vs the Vikings in the divisional round, resulting in a 35-3 drubbing. The Cowboys never used Tashard Choice and Felix Jones in tandem again.
Now we have a real head coach in Mike McCarthy, and now that they have found what fuels this offense, hopefully they will stick with it.
That is the key to success in the playoffs. We've been here before.
