Run or Pass vs NO

[JoeKing]

We're going into a hostile environment on primetime. Should DAL be run happy or pass happy against the Saints?

Both. The offense will take what the NO defense gives it. That means gashing them with the pass if it's working or letting Zeke and Pollard feast if that's working. I think there will be a steady mixture of both and the NO defense will be at a loss to do anything about either with any efficiency.

But of course, the critics will not give much credit to the Cowboys whipping up on the Brees-less Saints. Respect won't have been earned until the Packers come to Jerryworld for their beatdown.

Gotta pass to set up the run but obviously a balanced attack. Keep them on their heels. Continue with heavy play action, feed Zeke/pollard. All the above.

The Cowboys modus operandi in years past has been to run to set up the pass. But this season is different but I don't necessarily think it has to be pass to set up the run. They can do it either way. They will take what the NO defense gives them. Unpredictability is KM's calling card. That is what will keep the NO defense on their heels.

??? Zeke and Pollard rushed for over 100 yards last week, I would say it's a pretty balanced offence!

I'm not a numbers guy but it seems like 60/40 pass run. I'm not complaining, whatever works.

I agree with you, you're not a numbers guy. Whatever works.

I agree with you, you're not a numbers guy. Whatever works.

Is there a stat somewhere?

Yes but I edited it out for your benefit, you're not a numbers guy. Whatever works, right?

Zing!! Whatever keeps the W's flowing, not throw whatever stat around...

Exactly, I couldn't agree with you more.

Undisputed Shannon and Dickerson said NO will not let #21 beat them. If EzE goes off, the games over. BTW, both them idiots picked the Saints to win. Dickerson said DAL will only get 14 points.

Run, Pass or both as long as Maher is only left for kickoffs and extra point duties.

Fortunately, that is the Garrett way. Moore is now in charge of the offense and we will do both whenever it applies. Keep them off balance.

Take what the D gives you.

Dallas will try to run vs favorable matchups. The saints will attempt to stop our run game with their front 4, and they will fail. We will force their LB's into run support and open up the passing game.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Only one thing I don't want to see is a pass heavy offense that gets us a lead and then start running the ball and lose all the momentum and the game. Keep doing what works until it doesn't.

both ?

Balance.

 

[Sarge]

Attack. Let Bridgewater play from behind.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Whatever the defense dictates.

I would like the Cowboys offense to dictate to the defense.

Whatever Dallas wants to do, let them do it. Dare the Saints to stop them. The Cowboys are averaging 481 yards and 32 points per game.

Balance, balance, balance.
