Don't think Jerry cares about the fans otherwise he would have put together a better roster.

The team goes as Zeke goes, but they quit giving him the ball.

Even after he averaged over 5 YPC.

That's flat stupid.[/QUO

exactly what I was saying. You just said it in far less drunk words

He looked better than last year but I will believe Zeke is back when I see a run of 15 yards or more.
Looked the same as he did prior to injury
Plays were well blocked … agree need to see some longer runs

It's not unusual for former QBs to be pass-happy OCs. Handoffs aren't as fun as slinging it down the field.
How much of it is playcaller and how much is Dak checking out of the run to prove to everyone he's able to throw the ball.

The RB tandem strategy was all MM.

He should have listened to Jerry when he said Cowboys go where Zeke goes.

Jerry was right.

This game at least.



Pollard should be involved, but we can do it in other ways then to take away from Zeke when he is running well.

If the coaches really want to run they can hold Dak accountable. Make him illustrate why he checked out and give him examples.

Eight man fronts are definitely coming. Watch the board in the next weeks about Zeke washed, despite Cooper Rush and his band of WRs' play.....and an OL being manhandled..

But but but... people keep telling us that it's Jerry really calling plays .. and yet the best player we had on offense yesterday and the one Jerry publicly stated is the engine of the offense only got the ball 10-12 times.

If Kellen is the play caller , why do we even think we have a chance ???

Because we have SOME good players.. Yes fewer of them than we used to but still Zeke, Dak, CD, Pollard and Schultz are all legit good NFL players at their position and the offensive line, while terrible last night, is STILL one of the better ones in the league. Our scheme has just been deciphered.. Defenses know where the weak spots are up front and exploit the hell out of it. They know our tight ends can't block so they know they can load up on one side and always have a winnable matchup of a DE/LB on one of our tight ends. They know what routes we run in just about every down and distance. The difference is that we will play teams with a lot less talent and will crush them.. But good teams with good DCs will be able to shut it down.. Because we are nowhere near good enough to succeed against good defenses when they KNOW what's coming. Moore better get out of his paint by numbers mode and start calling some run plays that aren't just up the middle and some routes that don't take our guys into the teeth of the zones. It's not impossible.. He just needs to do it.
