How does a team get up by big leads early when it doesn't have a pass rush or more than one competent LB? I think it's more likely that Dallas ends up behind 14-0 and then looks confused when the other team has taken away their plum top 5 rookie pick. Cut to luxury box shots of Jerry picking his nose and chewing on his fingernails.

Idk ask the 2014 team how they did it, with a worse offense and worse defense.

I definitely think we're trying to build an offense that bludgeons opponents with one of the most dominating running games seen in years. An attack much like the one that won this team championships in the '90's. Where opponents knew it was coming and it didn't matter because they couldn't stop it.

Also the fact that our defense is patchwork guys who can't stay off the suspended list - so we need to control the clock so the defense isn't out there a lot.

Just like 2014...You don't need a great defense if your offense stays on the field 50 minutes a game.

I understand that, which is why I wanted the Cowboys to pick Elliott.

That being said, I'm STILL worried about the defense. :(

I like the pic and 'think' he.ll be a great one, but I'm not ready to pencil in 1500 plus yards for a rookie. I think Cowlishaw had a recent article comparing him to Melvin Gordon who had a pretty awful rookie year but gaudy college stats.
I think around Todd Gurley type numbers is probably more realistic. 1000-1200 yards 8-10 tds

You can get a bet on Zeke from Boviva Sports Book. Over/under 900 yards. That's 56 yards per game.

I'm looking for my house mortgage papers today.

Interesting, yeah I'd definitely lay a few bucks on the over. Barring injury that seems like a good bet

How many fewer hits will Romo take because Elliott finished the dadgum run?

Let's not forget, he is already one of the best pass- blocking RBs in the league -- that's huge for Romo's health. Not only does he stick his nose in there, he knows where his nose is supposed to be.
