Zeke 10 carries for 52 yards. We were running it on them, but Moore abandoned the run for some reason.

Also, how many 3rd downs did Pollard get run over on the way to a QB pressure or sack? Pollard is a liability protecting the QB, whereas Zeke has always been an asset.

Poor coaching.

This team cannot even properly use the talent on it's own roster let alone come up with a plan to beat the opposing team. It's pathetic. Reminds me of the Dave Campo years.
whoooaaa slow down

Dave Campo had zero talent outside of the later years of Larry Allen and an aging Emmitt

he did what he could.....Kellen just needs to be removed

Also if they continued to run Zeke the Bucs would start to crowd the line of scrimmage instead of rolling coverage over a mediocre receiving corps.

This is Football 101 that an 8 year old playing Madden on his XBox knows and this staff cannot figure it out.

I think Moore went into the game with the number 1 priority to get the Dak/CD connection going.

He failed.
he did

but why he cant adjust based off what he sees is annoying

Even the bucs could adjust and decide let Tom throw it short and reley on Fournette since hes getting 9 ypc

Which.....to save a ton of time for some of the gaggle of haters....is ALL DAKS FAULT.

J/K...coaching offensively is still a huge issue. I like what they were TRYING to do...get Pollard involved but he didn't play well. At all...the missed blocks were terrible but the time he took a little pass in the flat and then decided to run out of bounds after about 5 yards, I almost jumped through my tv.

RUN......MAKE THEM TACKLE YOU!

Bucs gameplan was simple, dare Cowboys to pass vs zone D.

Cowboys were throwing into crowds with only 2 WR running routes.

Elliott's longest run was a measly 7 yards last night & he's getting paid $15 million per season. What a joke!

Emmitt used to average much less ypc until OL physicality in late 3rd and 4th broke dam wide open for big gainers.

AND bc I have given Zeke a ton of crap the past few years...he did nothing to make me angry and played very well last night. They SHOULD have given him more carries. I can't remember the last time I have said that...

Hopefully he can keep that up bc we need it.

I have always thought the weakness in this offense has been KM, we were sold a bill of goods when it comes to promoting KM to OC. Is that half of Dak's issues? Maybe, maybe not.

I was telling a friend the same thing. Zeke was averaging 5 yards a carry. Why was he not using him more. In the first half, all is saw was the receiving core not getting any separation. Dak was constantly throwing into crowds. It was only a matter of time until an interception occurred.

Zeke is terrible. He is one of the least threatening players in the entire NFL now. Slow looks for contact and goes down easy. I can barely watch him play.
