2nd highest scoring team in the league last year. Gallup will be back to 100%. Added WR Cooks. Added a blocking machine at TE that can also catch. Added a RB playmaker named VAUGHN who upgrades the return game also. Added a vet RB in Jones that will be an upgrade over Zeke. Added a OL in FA and Draft.
How many super bowls do you think Dallas will win next season? 3 or 4? Should be the best season in nfl history

Pollard will be very lucky to be 100% at season start. Dak will be airing it out in September and probably into October. As the weather cools, hopefully Pollard will be rolling…if not we’re screwed.

We don’t need a bell cow. 3 RBs should see plenty of work.
We got one proven RB coming off injury. One JAG and a rookie 6th rounder who’s 5’5. Who can pound the ball for 3rd and short.
Sorry, I just don’t share your optimism.

"We will run the ball more......"

Action means more than words. At RB we have Pollard, Vough, Jones and Davis. We drafted a 5'5 RB and no realistic immediate help at OL. Got a TE that started 4 yrs at Big Ten who can probably block. But the current started offense isn't exactly striking fear into opposing D with our running game.

We are marginally better with addition of Brandon Cooks but if we are expecting Dak to CARRY this OFFENSE..... well, we seen this movie a few times already.

JMHO.
Last season we ran the ball the most we have since the 94 season. We don’t need to run the ball more we need to run the ball better. We need to throw the ball better.

Vaughn is a baller. I will happily give him plenty of time to figure things out LOL

I am completely baffled as to what they have done after that statement. I mean................if those arent hollow words?

Shoonmaker great, but then what? Its mystifying.
LOOOL!!! Looks like you're absolutely wrong once again, Roy.

A 3rd WR getting 1,100 yards is impressive if you call him a 3. He will be a #3 next year as well. Can you Name some #3 WR’s who are better or who have produced better?
Hes paid like #2 with the production of a #4

Not meaning this as a hit on Zeke, but it's addition by subtraction. He still had most carries in 2022 (231) and in none Redzone situations he was somewhat of a non-factor due to aging legs (with no ability to change direction). Davis/Dowdle/Jones (plus blocking and Deuce) surely improves our running game.....and most importantly, a OC that doesnt abandon the run at the first opportunity.

Gallup was extremely average at 100%....NEVER a true #2.....played like a #6 at best last year.
100% Gallup should be ok as a #3,
after that, you never know who might show up among the rooks.

So you can or can’t name some #3’s or now #4’s, that you think are as or more productive?
You went from his production being the issue and now it’s his pay….
Ummm thats how this works. Getting production with pay.

That’s a serious workload also.
If Vaughn makes the team, 12-17 RB carries should be his max.
And - will he tasked with a punt-kickoff role?

With a mainstay Cowboys player exiting the premesis...the RB competition should be fierce in training camp and preseason.
