No run game = we will not go far in the playoffs

Our run game is terrible. A good run came helps especially on the road. We are TERRIBLE trying to run the ball. We have been terrible almost all season and we did nothing during the season to fix it. The coaching and Jerry Jones failed us. We relying on Dak and Ceedee lamb connection. Good teams stop or limit that and our offense suffers. Michael Gallup was another terrible waste of signing. Its like playing 10 vs 11 when he is out there. He gets zero separation. I would start Tolbert or Turpin over him and demote him. There is no way we can pay someone like him $13,850,000 next season. He brings nothing to our offense.

I can see us getting blown out by the 49ers again if we make it to them in the playoffs. Our offensive line is suspect, we can't run the ball, we struggle stopping physical teams from running the ball and our defense doesn't really make stops. It seems our defense is only good when it can create turnovers. If it doesn't create turnovers it's hard for the defense to actually force a punt.
This is the best description of this team you will find anywhere on the internet. Kudos

It’s a problem

Lots of us were advocating for a change at RB in the off season.

It’s not a surprise that it’s an issue

Pollard will never be better than he was as a change of pace.

The regular season ranks in rushing yards for the past four SB champions are 20th, 25th, 28th, and 23th respectively.

In four of the past five seasons, the SB champion's rank in Average Yards per Carry is in the 20's.

Their running game needs to be effective in the redzone, on the goal line, and in 3rd or 4th and short situations..

It's not just the RBs, though. Too often they're being met in the backfield. It's the entire operation and we're seeing it again tonight.

Totally agree. Need some early roujd investment in the O-Line
