Running the ball gives the Cowboys their best chance to win. Even coach Jerry can figure that out.

Unfortunately, neither his head coach nor his OC have been run-happy guys. We'll see if they can commit to it.

Defenses are just gonna do what was successful latter part of last season. Shut down the run, force Dak to pass and disguise their defenses. Confuse Dak who can't read them, and pooooffff.....oh and in between all that are the penalties which will have Dallas behind constantly in down and distance. Wonder how long they will keep that up? Jerry still living in the 90's but without the personnel and coaching.

Why pay a QB 40 mil who isn't capable of taking over games on his own? You put a game in Brady or Rodgers' hands and you pay a steep price. Dallas has been victim to that many times. That simply isn't the case with Dak.

I would get Pollard the ball a lot more than Zeke, but we all know Jerry won't have any of that.

your angle that Dak isn’t Brady or Roger’s is childish.

honestly?

You don't abandon the run if it's not working at first. You stick with it all game long. The defense will wear out and the run will start clicking.

rogers got shut down by SF at home last year. When will you learn that football is about team?

did you hate romo too?

Aikman without emmitt and his all world line was dog meat.

and how about be aggressive early with the pass to get a lead?

I give an opinion on what I feel and you go on the attack. Yet you called me childish.....

Well we been wanting them to run the ball more. If we get this run game cranked up for real then it will make for some good times. If our Defense is as good as we hope then we will be controlling the clock. But I do see them stacking the box to force Dak to throw. He is good at beating the blitz but we don’t have a proven WR group. Other than Lamb.

Jerry is banking we’re going to have a great run blocking unit. Good luck with that when you only have one proven player upfront. Jerry is practically conceding we’re going to have problems at WR. To win games in a passing league you still have to throw the ball a lot. You have to create big plays and put points on the board. You do most of that in the passing game.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jerrys on a roll now ! dont stop him !

He wants Zeke over 300 by himself. That's the real issue here. Someone told him that every time Zeke has gone over 300 carries, he's produced in a big way. To his credit, Zeke has but he only got that many carries because the flow of the game allowed it.
If he wants that then Pollard should've gotten traded. Jerry really doesn't make sense when you dissect the facts.
