You havent been paying attention. Jerry decides who plays and who gets featured. Not every position, but clearly with Zeke. That is no longer up for debate.

False again, I would love to see your proof that Jerry decides who plays I guess you believe he has a radio calling plays too...lol

Yes, when the run game isnt working and we fall behind by double digits, all teams are going to pass more to conserve time and play catchup.

Thats not a Moore issue. Thats a situational football issue. The run game was directly to blame for a lot of those early deficits.

One thing we were talking about earlier was Dallas runs at a 30% clip when behind. Many teams with decent records still ran over 40% while trailing, such as TEN, GB, PHI, CLE, BUF. While you’re right their rates are definitely down from when tied or leading as they don’t want to burn clock, Dallas’s variance from 47% runs while tied or ahead to 30% is an enormous change of tact that others resist.

I absolutely think so, but I know part of it is protection. They pretty much split carries early then it dropped off.
The numbers early
Chargers 31, Pollard 13 car zeke 16 car
Eagles 31, Pollard 11, Zeke 17
Panthers 30 Pollard 10, Zeke 20
GIANTS 35. Pollard 14., Zeke 21
Patriots 27. Pollard 10 , Zeke 17

So how is that mistrust? LOL

They clearly gave it to Pollard lots. NO trust issue at all. This was Pollard was leading the NFL in ypc.

After Smith went down and the line faultered the games were much closer. NO blowouts and we were fighting for our lives almost every week. So they thought they needed their hero Zeke in there when it was actually the opposite. Zeke was one of the reasons we couldnt run the ball.

He said it point blank. You can deny it all you want.

Which way do you think that demand goes? Up or down? You think MM and Moore are telling Jerry we MUST feature Zeke or you think its Jerry telling them? Common sense.

It's distrust when it comes to 3rd down and protection, it's been talked about at nauseum

Show me where he said he decides who plays and who doesn't . If that was the case Romo would've gotten his job back.

Possibly there its trust, but not running or catching the ball. Thats just ignorance.

Fact is Moore and MM are just too dumb to make the defense pay. Best way to beat the blitz is have the RB fake the block and flare out for a quick pass and a big gain. Have Pollard do that a few times for 40 yards and they will slow down the blitzing.

Cowboys were on an 11 game win streak when Romo was ready to come back. And Romo himself admitted on national TV that Dak had earned the job.

Jerry went down to the sidelines during a game back in the Garrett era and ordered Romo put back into a game. And you are going to try to tell us Jerry isn't involved with the rosters and who plays or doesn't? Where's your proof?

Lol..I see you don't pay attention, Romo was pissed, it broke him and Garrett relationship, he even talked about Jerry was the only one who had his back in getting his job back

Zeke's gotta be our feature, and he is our feature,” the Cowboys owner said, via the NFL Network . “We can feature him in a lot of different ways … It's critical that we make Zeke, because he's capable of being that, really the focus of what we're doing.”Jul 30, 2022

Jerry owns the team genius. He can do whatever he likes and does. I guess you dont even know what the word conspiracy means. LOL

Lol. So every owner decides who plays because they own the team. Lol dumb

When behind or when behind big? Big difference.
