McCarthy lip service

[big dog cowboy]

How many super bowls do you think Dallas will win next season?

None.

 

[blueblood70]

To me that’s a good thing. Dak throwing > 30 x per game is not a recipe for winning.

the way troy nearly ever had to throw 30times?? ES22 carry the team with huge OL and team full of HOF coaches and payers, that same protections huh? LMAO

I think McC took the convenient approach and told fans what they wanted to hear.

Some blamed Moore, some blamed Prescott so it was convenient for McC to insinuate he would run the ball more and Moore was pass happy, which was not fact at all. If anything, Moore is one of the more run oriented OC's in the league. Moore is more responsible for Pollard breaking out than anyone else.

Will anyone care what they do if they're winning? Does running the ball more get better results?

McC has not shown he's a run oriented play caller but he had Favre and Rodgers so good luck with that. He also has a QB in Dallas that's not at all about running the ball to keep it out of his hands. He's all about proving 2023 was an oddity, that he does protect the ball and wouldn't you if this much blame fell on you?

To me picks are like penalties, who cares as long as you can overcome them?

Giants have added some talent and haven’t lost much.. eagles lost hargraves , cj and they’re 2 starting linebakers. Did replace hargraves with carter, Carter isn’t gonna get the double teams and 11 sacks in year 1 I can tell you that

Carter and Davis will very quickly have far reaching influence...bank on it and be prepared Cowboys.

 

[blueblood70]

Jones had 60 plus on 12 Touches in a Tampa SB win . That’s 5 yards a carry . I remember the Bucs getting juice from him when he spelled Fournette . I look forward to an attack by committee in Dallas . Add in Deuce plus Davis the RB room is covered.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

None.

See I think in terms of probabilities. They have a good chance to win but so do about 6 other teams. What that probability actually is I do not know but people discounting it out of hand are the ones being unrealistic.

Funny, I've never seen Jerry with a whistle to stop play and issue the mandatory penalty...

 

[75boyz]

Until they can prove us wrong….how long since last NFC championship?

Another one who fails to see that beating that TB squad was not an accomplishment.
There's a group here who sing Jerry's praises of regular season wins, good drafting and even the Forbes most valuable team trophy.
But if ya ask 'em if winning 5 playoff games in 28 years bothers 'em and they aren't sure how to respond.

To each his own I guess, lol.

Carter will have an impact. But will it be as much as what hargraves gave them ? Not in year 1. Davis. Gotta wait on him also. He literally was seeing taking plays off in the superbowl and only played 10 dang snaps.

 

[Verdict]

There's a reason there aren't many 5'5 guys in the league. Physicality of NFL is on far different level than college. There's a role for him and I hope he's an outlier. It's unlikely he's the bell cow that we desperately need.

I look at Vaughn differently than some. He can be anything you want him to be (other than tall). I really don’t have much of a doubt that he will be a very good player for us.

The wild card is how long he lasts. Some of these guys get wiped out early on and others never really get a dead on hit.

How many times did Barry Sanders carry the ball and how many times did someone get a really good kick on him? Not many.

Let’s hope that Deuce can evade the big hits like Sanders.

I think the product of what both Davis and Carter will be is untapped. Two 'rooks' don't often become the best in the NFL in year one...sorry if i don't impress with double negatives.

They both will become NFL top shelf...despite the predictions of circling buzzards or a dead cat seen alongside a road.

[RonWashington]

Is Rico Dowdle expected back too? I get the impression that not for the first time has put the failings on the run game at Kellen's door.

To be honest Dowdle has never impressed me in pre season . With Pollard Jones Davis and Vaughn I would think the running attack can share the loaf of bread and then some . I hope the OL gets it done up front .

 

[RonWashington]

You must have missed Jones last year.

KC didn’t work out but that’s one season . Let’s see him in camp behind MM and his new commitment to run . Andy Reid has pass plays in his sleep and with Mahomes and three SB trips who can blame him . Dallas might feature Jones more .

 

[Rockport]

"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.

No we haven’t. At least not of late.

 

[JayFord]

Season hasn't even started

Not one down has been played....I mean c'mon now

Don’t need a bell cow RB. It’s by committee these days.

Are you going to be comparing Dak to Troy? You just lost all credibility.

 

[btcutter]

again, your HO is ridiculous BYE!

You can't answer the question or answer too painful?

 

[CowboyoWales]

That's possibly why we're hot on him, we've 'bought' low and expect a bounce back after he missed the first 10 games of the season. A back that's two years younger than Zeke and with a third fewer carries. As a back-up he clearly should be able to produce more than Zeke.

To be honest Dowdle has never impressed me in pre season . With Pollard Jones Davis and Vaughn I would think the running attack can share the loaf of bread and then some . I hope the OL gets it done up front .

Yep, what some fans are missing that the options are there to play the running game and that we have the flexibility and variety....rather than Zeke and his near inability to cut and/or vary from north/south.

Unfortunately, our fan base always want the HR run hit, rather than improving incrementally (or even by subtraction).
