Has he had ran the ball 1 time yet?

Have we ran the ball with him in the game?


Jason Garrett teams have just been awful at using multiple backs in a game.

He likes to give guys series and it just creates so many tendencies when certain guys are in the lineup.

We have to make things more difficult for our opponent then what we do. This arrogant playcalling could be our downfall this year.

I'm just happy he's contributing. With Romo in the game I'd say he would be more of a weapon. Right now he's earned his roster spot.

Beat the heck out of constantly rotating guys so no one gets into any type of rhythm. Using 2 primary backs is not a bad. Dunbar is used more in the passing game but yes he has a couple of carries as well.
You have become so predictable any post by you seem to be an attack on Garrett. We get it you don't like Garrett

I don't have a problem with the player.

I've been disgusted with him for the last couple years and clearly it's the coaches I should have been upset with because he is a weapon.

They just let Demarco do as he pleased last year instead of trying to create matchups.



After watching some of these Gifs it's clear to me that they let Witten do the same thing as well because Escobar or a WR would be better at stretching the seam against a single high safety.

It's a PROBLEM. That is why im bringing it up.


This RB has to get into a rhythm thing is overblown and I don't see many teams with a committee that just give a guy a series and don't rotate back and forth.

Felix Jones and MB3 was awful as was Julius Jones and MB3.

This staff does not know how to use specialized players like Esco and Dunbar. They have no idea how to seamlessly work guys into their offense.

Atlanta indicated that they figured out how to identify the different run plays by the 2nd half and were able to neutralize them pretty effectively.

Yes Felix Jones and Barber were awful and so it gets better adding yet another low end RB? You may has well post in the rant section. Only think predictable is your post.

Not sure I see much problem with how they're using Dunbar.

And I think it was a lot more execution than it was adjustment that derailed the offense in the second half last Sunday. They're still going to take Dunbar in space against a LB when they can get it. It's easy to second guess it when the LB wins, but when he doesn't, they're geniuses.

How they use him is fine.

My problem is tipping our hand to the defense when he is in the game.

If we are trying to stretch the field, I like Dunbar's speed to accomplish that. I think we haven't done it too many times, so we could surprise them.

Is it, though? Running him between the tackles with any frequency isn't going to accomplish much. If he's in the game, they obviously want him in space on a linebacker. That means screen or they just line him up outside.

Defenses still have to make the personnel adjustment. When they decide to put a DB on him, that's probably when you see us run it. Until then, better to exploit the mismatch directly, no?

This! When defenses start to respect the pass to Dunbar and change their personnel to put a DB on him thats when we exploit it with the run. Its all about creating mismatches.

We could give him a few runs a game plus get him out there with Randle on some run plays in 3 wide sets.

Don't make it 100% obvious week in and week out that Dallas is passing when he is in there.


We need to make defenses think more than what they do.

At times we come off as amateurish. And I wonder if Jerry Jones is the MAIN reason for this. He has been harping for a while about getting Dunbar more involved (and I agreed that he needed to be involved)....but we finally mix him in...except we are NOT mixing him in....he IS the offense! Look for Dez to return and be moved all over the place ala Julilus Jones. Of course Dez should be move involved...if you did not know...just ask Jerry Jones...he told everyone this week on his radio show. But at least if we target Dez 20 times a game...it will slow the record setting pace Dunbar is on!

They have had Dunbar and Randle on the field together a few times.

Thats not true Barber was a beast for short yard and goal line. Giving him the ball in the 4th as a closer was the perfect fit for him. He just wasn't starter material
