In my opinion he needs to be the focal point going forward for this playoff run. I realize these defenses we will face from here on out will be stout, but if we’re going to win, it will be through him. When he was the featured back when Zeke was ailing he proved he can do it. Use this kid as this might be his last hoorah as a Cowboy.

Will they do it is the question?

It’s likely Moore will bail on run game for no reason and will then have Dak wearing out his arm throwing to unopened receivers over and over and over.

Of course you are right, but we all know its unlikely to happen. Pollard got 4 carries in the Niners loss last year. Zeke was 2.3 ypc or something abominable like that.

And Lamb caught one pass as well…..

Umm , its not about any one player my man..TEAM , that starts in the trenches,

first and foremost, that OL needs to be back healthy and at normal positions outside of Steele.

then yes establish the run but im using all 3 backs early and often but want to see those pays we saw in the MN game, zeke and Pollard both on the field and pollard streaking out on screens and wheel routes and other rpos go to zeke in the run and many variations of it..

if that OL looks like they have thew last 3 games Barry sanders couldn't succeed , nor could Joe Montana. that fact that OL blew up that 9er game last playoff game 11 penalties, no run game etc etc you can not function playing like that,

so if we can play solid OL/DL we will succeeds, if not will be long game as TB12 will eat us alive with no pressure and our O will not make 19 points.

see game 1 if that how wwe show up , its over.. KM must learn from that game, stick with the run , not the vanilla run but remember zeke many games this year was averaging 4.5-5.5 ypc including the first half of game 1 and KM stopped running., zeke is as important and Malik also can add an element,

im telling that OL lets go out and push people around to start the game, establish the LOS and then we can pass off of it.

let focus on the team not skilled positions. pollard been great but hes also disappeared against the best DLs, go look about 4 games under 3 YPC.. if that OL is playing well both our RBs can eat.

It doesn’t matter. You have to keep running the ball because any minute he can break one.

Not if it isn’t there. Run game has struggled last few weeks due to poor OL play.

In order for us to be most efficient the OL to play well so we can effectively run the bal instead of just run it to run it.

We will not see one carry from Malik Davis on Monday. Moore doesn’t do that.

Its amazing how many people dont understand that simple concept. They think simply running the ball is what makes it successful.

If Dallas does not fall behind then he could break one but should we be behind you needed more than 1 does not make much sense. I hope Pollard is featured and get his carries but Dallas can't be 1 dimensional in this game. Cowboys will need to show balance and try to stay ahead of the chains.

They need to find a way to get that OL blocking right so they can get these RB's to the 2nd level. Not just Pollard but gotta get Zeke going too. Make a statement and drop 200 rushing yards on tampa.

The whole point is the commitment. If we’re running it like last week I get it. Sometimes you even have to throw to set it up. My point is Pollard and Lamb are our two best offensive weapons. Use them or we lose!

No because he has to chance to actually make a big play, we don't like big plays

I Hope so! His lack of usage in the 49ers game last year was criminal
