Unlike you, I look at the entire team. With you, it’s only Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak all the time, every day.
This is what they call throwing the rules in the mods' faces and daring them to do something about it. SOMEBODY feels as if he's above the rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The team can’t run the ball and mostly can’t stop the opposing team from running.

That’s a bad combination. They need to trade for an NFL type back. One that can run up the middle.

If they don’t find a RB, it’s going to be tough sledding going forward.
We need to stop the runs UP THE MIDDLE, FOR OUR OFFENSE, AND OUR DEFENSE!! lol

no the problem with the last game is they sold out to stop the run and it opened up the pass game. exactly what were you watching mccafey for the 2nd straight game against the cowboys didn't do very well..not many yards and a fumble

hes been lighting up other teams he did not light up the dallas cowboys..

i mean i get what you're saying as it looks bad but at other times it doesn't.

an nFL RB? I believe they are ALL NFL Rbs says it on their paychecks. need to use Hunter and Rico MORE than TP and allow TP to do whet he does best and that not being RB1..

You ( and many others too) said the same thing at zeke. Now protecting tony by blaming o line.

Comical indeed. Pathetic even.

Only a handful of us looked at the o line while the rest of you had your fun. Suddenly the o line sucks because its not zeke? Insane.
Please tell me this isn’t an argument for not having let Elliott go.

Please.

How about getting a real QB first?
Based on this theory......have we had a solid QB since Aikman retired? We've had a high paid QB and a media darling before, but we haven't won anything since Aikman left. So I'd ask.......what BIG game would you declare TRomo winning? Just intrigued, not hating on TRomo......just intrigued, since we've seen this before.

Hes not the problem at all. Expecting him to be the solution after getting rid of Zeke was he problem. They needed a guy to handle the load and let Pollard continue to be explosive. The guy told the coach after the Chicago game he was gassed after 17 carries. That should have been enough to say, hmmm maybe we need another back. Charbonnet was there in the second. We took Schoonmaker. Torrance was there in the second. We took a TE. This is what I am talking about.
So, you're still clinging onto a throw away line from Pollard during Week 4 of last season after ripping off like a 45-50 yard TD run?

Oh, you're back?

You tucked tail since the Pats game when Zeke was his usual unproductive self. You Zeke Boyz thought you had a moment when he "popped" off for 80 yards the week prior.

:lmao:

It is a little surprising the Cowboys did not run the ball better the last few games, especially with all of their OL back last week. But they are 11th in the league in Rushing and averaging about 4.0 yards per carry. I think the running game will improve with the starting OL working together more.

But Pollard does look a step slower this year. Its the difference between a 50 yard TD run and a 23 yard run. Maybe the injury has hurt his speed.

I think Dowdle looks quicker and stronger on the runs up the middle. I also think he should have been getting more carries against SF on more runs between the tackles. Running outside on SF is really hard to do because of their two LBs. Dallas should have done to them what they did to Parsons. Run at them and take away their speed. I'd rather get 4 yards up the middle than 0 or -1 running outside.

I don't think the Cowboys run defense was that awful against SF. Compared to Arizona it was much improved. I think the pass defense was much worse. Letting Kittle loose for 3 TD and allowing multiple chunk plays was inexcusable.

OL continuity is an import factor for run blocking , it seems that Our OL run blocking is still not good and for short yardage we need a bruising back .
Run defense is a mystery , started off good but the Arizona game exposed us.

The OL continuity definitely has something to do with it as well but we have no RB like Jones in GB or Chubb before he got hurt. Pollard’s a great 2nd RB but is too small for an RB #1.

Isn’t this the same problem for the last 2 seasons except now they also have RZ problems. 4 seasons in what exactly has MM done to this point, he only changed 30% of the offense and has only put in 70% of his Texas toast O, so what exactly has he done? It’s a work in progress and we have to wait till Christmas so we can see the rest. It’s pretty bad look for MM to this point. At some point you have to stop blaming everyone and what happened to RBs are a dime a dozen. Just have to laugh.

Yeah, it’s a pretty bad look for the whole organization.

My gawd, why do you hate all our players? You're so negative all the time, you can't really be a fan.
