Yep Jerry's right Zeke is the kind of back at this point in his career that a good offensive line is really not necessary.

I mean the quickness and the burst are unbelievable.

Yeah Zeke's going to be critical to the running game all right he'll be blocking for Pollard trying to help make up for the lack of talent on the offensive line.

So let me get this straight....the best version of Zeke is in the rear view mirror...and he AIN'T coming back....but we are going to run the ball more than we have the last few years? The best version of our OL is in the rear view mirror....and it AIN'T coming back no time soon...but we are going to run the ball more than we have the last few years?

Please God make it stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which do you think is easier for sub-par offensive linemen to do? Pass block 50 times a game or run block 40 times a game?

How about NOT get yourselves in position to have a SUBPAR offensive line?

If that was the plan...then why did we pay Dak?

Oh wait...that would mean we actually have a plan that extends beyond a single season.

The team has a better chance of winning the fewer times Dak has to throw the ball. He can't handle the games being put on his shoulders. Elite QB's can handle it, Dak can't.

Well, if you look at the WR group going into week 1 (no Gallup, no Washington and a bunch of unknowns) versus the RB depth chart...which group is better? Elliott and Pollard vs. Lamb and whomever.

On this one, I can't disagree with Barnum. The 1-2 combo of backs is the strength of the offense until Gallup returns and Tolbert develops.

Feels dirty to agree with anything the Jones boys say. Yuck!

If throwing it 50 times a game then why did we pay Zeke? And I don't know how much you watch of other teams.. but EVERY team has SUBPAR offensive lines. I mean we all watched the Cowboys last season yet somehow PFF managed to rank them NUMBER FREAKIN ONE in the whole league. Which means as bad as they were, they sucked less than everybody else. Full disclosure I don't believe for one second they were that good.. but at least one media outlet says they were. I thought the Browns, Colts and Titans lines clearly outperformed them..

If every team has subpar offensive lines...then why are there plenty of teams that can and will throw it...but we are going to run it....

Unless of course we have subpar talent in the passing game....and again..why did we allow ourselves to the place where we have subpar talent in the passing game....and whether it's the QB or the WRs...is a debate I am not going to enter...but I do have a pretty good idea what the answer is to that question

Did we know Gallup would be out when we threw a bag of money at him? Did we know Gallup would be out when we told Cooper to hit the road?

Jerry wants his money's worth out of Zeke.
Zeke is going to be all spent by the end of the year and no more good in Dallas.
Don't get it wrong, Jerry is sinister.
