CFZ Run the dang ball!

[WarDaddy]

If this 2022 team becomes a run first team, like I’m sure our frustrated coach wants, the Cowboys will be a problem for the NFC regardless of the QB.

This team is built to be a defensive team right now. You cater to the defense by running the dang ball to run clock and keep them fresh to make plays all game. Once Peters is inserted (preferably at LG) this O Line has road graders across the board and good coaching. We should be RUN first.

If the run game is working, you will eventually wear the other team down. Plus, believe it or not, you will also score points if those runs end up in the end zone. You don’t have to be “pass happy” to score points and win in the NFL. We can’t afford to be pass happy with this receiving corps, anyway.

The formula should be…Run the ball until the stop you. Pass when you have to. Let your Defense and Special Teams make enough plays to keep you in the game until the end. If you’re up, run the ball to kill the clock. If you’re down and it’s close, spread em out and let Kellen and Dak do their thing. The Cowboys hurry-up is one of the league’s deadliest weapons.

If this team had a real GM and coach, Dak and Zeke would be on at least their second real Super Bowl run during these prime years. 2016 and 2021 should have been more competitive years. This year would be no different now that we have Parsons and company on defense.

Cooper Rush playing now may make this year special. It forces Kellen’s hand to call a more conservative game plan. In his history, conservative = running the ball. When it works, hopefully we win and we won’t have to rush Dak back. When he returns, we will stick with it and make him an even better QB.

 

[CATCH17]

Passing league.

If you want to be great at running you’ll just be the Browns.


You need great QB play or a great team. We have neither and great team is out the window considering we wasted our money on a Dakverage QB.

It's hard to run the ball when the OL puts you in early down and long distance situations because of penalties and you're behind on the score.
But I get what you're saying. I agree.

Wow. Haven't seen you in a good minute!
Great to have you back bubba.

 

[HungryLion]

You have to convert 3rd downs and not be behind the chains to run the ball.


10 penalties makes running consistently damn near impossible.

 

[WarDaddy]

Penalties are on the coaching staff. Either you coach it out of the player or you replace the player.

Terrance Steele single handedly shut down a whole drive on Sunday with mental mistakes. I believe his lack of focus is on the coaches.

The coaches are supposed to set the tone and put players in the position to succeed. If guys are out there trying to hard or overthinking, they were ill prepared. It all goes back to coaching.

He hates football now.

 

[glimmerman]

Elliot had 10 attempts and was 5 per. That’s when you feed him and he starts breaking longer runs.. Moore is not going to commit to the run.

I been saying philibin don’t belong here. He is a zone blocking coach. Line up and let these guys fire off. Power block. Get to the next level and Elliot can break off that..

Feels like the last few months of how Romo went out honestly.

Well if we didn't have one of the dumbest offensive coordinators in the NFL, we definitely would run the ball more.

Ive been saying this all along.... then penalties take you off schedule from your playbook. The smart people see this. The dumb place blame on the wrong players.

 

[WarDaddy]

Kellen Moore is creative but needs to be a QB Coach or consultant to an established, legitimate NFL offensive coordinator. He needs to gameplan and design plays for his roster and not just to get guys open in the passing game.

His scheme is just too vertical and he hasn’t shown an ability to draw up an intentional short yardage play or two. This team needs to focus on plays that move the ball 5 yards and beat teams over the head with long drives.

The Cowboys would love to run the ball but when you run off for a big gain and get a penalty(they had 10 of them) and are forced into 2nd and 3rd and long's? You can't run the football. THe offensive line is not nearly good enough to be a run first team and it surely isn't disciplined enough to do so. But sure, keep running. I'm not against it I just understand why its harder than it sounds.

Helps if you have a RB....

Sad

 

[Corso]

Helps when you have an OL that isn't committing penalties, or blowing assignments, but you wouldn't know about any of that.
Who's on the team that's Boise State?
That's your boys.
The most boring place on the planet.

 

[Shane612]

Easier said than done when you have an offense that can't get out of its own way.

In his defense (to an extent anyway) Tryon was jumping the snap… got called on it once. That’s on coaches and Dak not changing the count and cadence!
