In this league.....and especially NFC East...you HAVE to run the dang ball.
But running three times up the clogged middle with our QB literally tripping over the center before the handoff then claiming the run game don;t work....
probably isn't a good run game plan. It doesn't mean stop running. It means figure out a run game we can do. Pollard showed us what a play IN SPACE can do. We DIDN'T go back to the something that worked.
Moore is an idiot.
We did run the ball against the East and when Zeke was fit we were successful in doing it. All of us agree that Pollard should of been given the ball more, however, I doubt we had many outside running plays with Zeke being our primary carrier (hopefully that's changed for 2022).....and then we'd have another Coop scenario where the costly veteran complains about lack of opportunities. It's also a problem having two distinct running backs which doesnt really mask the type of running play
The whole running game was compromised as soon as it was evident that both Zeke and Dak had lost mobility and didnt pose a risk coupled with the fact and that we had a real weakness at LG (and ave at best Center).
It's also not a coincidence that the run game fell apart once we had to start chasing games.
If you want to get rid of Moore it'll be because he can't devise passing plays which Dak can execute.
