Another thing I might add is I wonder why Moore hasn’t considered installing a few more man blocking run plays. The zone run has been a staple here for years, but I think it may be worth a shot. Zone blocking requires great feel for run blocking and good athleticism across the line in order to execute it well. In a man blocking scheme you typically are able to identify specific double teams easier which lead to combo blocks that will get into the next level of the defense. In Man blocking you are not asking your linemen to cover as much ground. Biadasz’s skill set is well suited to a man blocking scheme. Perhaps it would be worth a try for Moore to install some man run plays.

I believe the rest will help. Unfortunately the injuries to Dak and Zeke led into the most grueling part of our season. We weathered the storm and took a few losses but the season is still afloat. Everything is in front of us. Hopefully Dak can use the 10 days to rest/study how we can get this offense going agin and Moore can get back to the drawing board with big Mike.
Yeah this 10 days rest is like a mini bye week. If they get healed up and Dak starts using his legs when the play breaks down we will go far. If he is coached to stay in pocket no matter what then it going to get frustrating.. Moore has plenty of time to put a game plan together for these division games coming. These last games are for all the marbles and pretty much all division games. Our Offense has to produce like earlier this year..

Every Cowboys draft class should include an O-lineman. We still don't know what Josh Ball can do for us. (did you forget we drafted him?)

Didn’t Pollards long TD run look like more of a man blocking run. I think we had someone lined up outside of Tyron to pick up the LB or safety.
