A lot of people would like 1 answer to what is wrong with the Cowboys but the fact is there were multiple problems with the Cowboys last year and previous years.
Henry may have helped in 2024, but probably not as much as some might think. I think last year the OL, for whatever reason, was just not opening holes for the RBs. Biadasz was a weak link in the OL and Terence Steele was not the same as he was in 2023. With all due respect to Tyron Smith, I don't think he was the best run blocker last year either. I don't know how Henry would be able to run behind that offensive line. Pollard is no slouch at RB. Give him room and he is a home run threat.
This year, I think we will see Beebe play a little better as the season progresses. Steele is supposedly close to his pre-injury form. Zack Martin is a bit healthier at least for now. And Guyton seems to be pretty good too, especially run blocking. This would have benefitted Henry is if they signed him but there are still the problems on defense.
Last year they could not stop the run. They had no true LBs. The pass rush came mainly from one guy and there was no pressure from the interior DL. I think they still have those problems on defense, and it may be worse. We'll have to see how Lawson and Phillips can play.
