Kellen Moore on the run game

[Risen Star]

Last week Ezekiel Elliott ran for 47 yards. Against Detroit, he had 45 yards. “At the end of the day, we’ve got the highest paid runner and a really, really good offensive line, that draws attention,” coordinator Kellen Moore said. “Whether it eventually flips or impacts in other ways as we continue to throw it, we’ll keep doing what we do. I think for myself, hey, I’ve got to find different ways. Maybe we need to approach it a little bit differently from a run game perspective.”

Dancing his way around the question, eh? Just like his owner and HC. At least he’s sighting willing to change at the end there...

 

[MonsterD]

Other teams look at Elliott's contract to determine how to defend him? Neat.

say-wut ?

dude. he literally answered it the way we said he needs to do it.

Nice to see Pollard starting to come through.

We'll keep doing what we do? slow starts...dropped balls...bad coaching. GOT IT.....

Pollard needs to get, if not the start, at least half the run snaps.

Nice to see Pollard starting to come through.

And this is who should get more touches. We are using Cooper as a decoy because he is obviously hurt. Might as well get him the ball a little more.

Teams are clearly keying on stopping the run. That's opened it up for the passing game. When teams start making Dak their focus, it will open it up for the run game.

It wasn't hard to understand what he said

As a 1st year O-Coordinator and only in his 2nd year of coaching, it is highly likely that they told Kellen Moore to leave the run blocking scheme to OL coach Columbo.

There is a good chance that Moore is making a reference to the need for changes to the run blocking scheme.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

We are getting to a point where teams can't just take Zeke away and automatically win. Dak and this passing game is starting to make them pay. If the defense could stud up we'd be a real contender.

 

[Creeper]

I think he's saying that Zeke and the OL need to do their jobs better.

Correct. However, when you're supposed to have the best OL in the league you should dictate to the defense not the other way around.

That group is very overrated.

Leading the league in yardage...yet somehow....it's not good enough.

 

[nightrain]

I agree with him.

 

[BleedinBlue]

anyone think we have any all pro's on the o-line this year? Not speaking in terms of past accomplishments but this year only. Have they played up to snuff?

 

[Teague31]

OL has really been hurt by injury. Not a single healthy body along the front except maybe Fred and we all know he’s not back to 100%

 

[DakBringMeBack]

I am so happy we sunk all this money into Zeke; who is obviously marginal in terms of being a difference maker and a problem child of a human being.

why could I realize in early 2017 we were better as a pass first offense but the goons who run this team are still dicking around on his contract and gave zeke a record deal when a number of players could produce at his level. It’s why we are no longer one of the elite or one of the reasons along with Garrett

Collins until he got hurt
