ARLINGTON -€”- Early in Bengals-Cowboys clash as Ezekiel Elliott's offensive line whacked and razed everyone in front of them, Elliott began spinning his right hand in front of his mouth, scooping as if he had a spoon in hand.

"I was telling the coaches to keep feeding me," Elliott said afterward, grinning.

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett soon summoned Elliott next to him. Garrett performed the spooning motion. He told him to watch it, that it could lead to a taunting penalty.

And then Garrett and the Cowboys kept "feeding" Elliott anyway.


You take the radiant running of Elliott and the efficient playmaking of rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, toss them behind the NFL's most crushing offensive line and you've got one scrumptious meal. Blend in special teams that function and a defense that is reactive and you get a 28-0 blitz to start a game. This is what the Dallas Cowboys did to the Cincinnati Bengals en route to a 28-14 victory on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.

This was Dallas taking a quality opponent and displaying "a recommitment to our values," Garrett said.

That would be:

A couple of things here:

First, Elliott confirms that the motion he is making is for the coaches to feed him, for those who argued that it meant he was gobbling up yards or the defense.

Second, it's nice to know why Garrett told him to be careful about using the motion and the Elliott responded accordingly. I don't think he would get a taunting penalty for it, though, unless he did it in a defender's face.

"I know, for myself, this is the player I am, this is the man I am," Elliott said. "I'm not surprised by it. I expected it."

What's scary is outside of Witten and Free our entire offense is 27 and younger.

Before the game Dak made a bold statement that got quoted a little that the Offensive line was the strength of the team and would move people on their front seven and it came true. It reminded me a little bit of Jimmy Johnson telling reporters to put it in bold letters that we would spank the 49's in the playoffs. Yes the offensive line is the strength of the team and they are expected to play well but they are people too and I have to think Dak's statement was on the minds during the week and the game. It seemed like prime example of Dak's leadership that people have been talking about.
