The running game thread

[BrAinPaiNt]

Or lack of running game.

 

[perrykemp]

4 games in and it's safe to say that DMC isn't going to be a savior.

I'd like to see more CM.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It sucks. What more can you say?

 

[Bigdog]

We have one?

 

[Amy50632]

should of drafted a running back.

 

[Dale]

I'm not sure what people want to see at the moment, to be honest. We're fielding a backup QB, a backup RB and a host of backup WRs.

Last year's offense was fueled by a great offensive line, a great QB to direct it all, a great WR to scare defenses into keeping a high safety, and a great RB that dared them to bring an 8th man in the box.

The line remains, but literally every other component is gone.

I can't say I find the results shocking.

The lack of running game and/or running game plan(aka abandoning run).. Leaves things up to Garrett just like prior to last season.

Demarco Murray masked Garret's hc'ing warts.

Warts are spreading.... Again.

Free looks done imo

Yep. I don't care what anybody says. You let Murray go then you better replace him.

If our running game is bad, what is Phillys? ;0

 

[PoundTheRock]

Where is Chaz Green to pick up 4.5 yards a carry?

 

[Sydla]

RBs aren't great but the OL has been getting thrown around.

Sad to say but arguably the most over hyped and overrated part of this team has been their OL.

 

[Aven8]

Like my Randle thread last week, he's still nothing but a complimentary back. He if he jumps over the pile again I would kick him off this team! Notice he didn't play much after that.

Dmac sucks. Plain and simple. Paycheck eater,

Nice pressure on Cmike, putting him in on 3rd and 1, out of nowhere, and then never giving him the ball again, while Dmac is smashing into the rookie LB and looking weak!

And Dunbar, sucks for him, but he never should have taken it out.

Also, whats with Tyron Smith allowing sacks in back to back weeks to rookies? SMH

It makes no sense that you couldn't find a spot for Collins all off-season. He's definitely one of your five best talents up front. Should've given him reps at right tackle at some point.

 

[Avery]

Doesn't help when the opponent stacks the box because they don't fear the passing game.

Some of that is about the QB. Weeden has no idea what he is doing in the pocket. He just stands there like an idiot. You have to slide around in the pocket and help your linemen out.

 

[Leadbelly]

For the four teams we've played, Randle and McFadden would not make any those teams and Dunbar would almost never see the field. Why do our RBs look like WRs and everyone else's RBs look like RBs?

Ours - narrow waisted, upright runners that go down on first contact, physically overmatched wimps.

Theirs - squatty, powerful builds, runs through contact, shakes off arm tackles, physically aggressive, runs low with power and velocity.

It's like nobody in our front office has seen a RB for the past 25 years. Every single team looks for an entirely different athlete at RB than Dallas.

Smith will be attributed for allowing the sack but it was ALL on Weeden for never actually stepping up in the pocket...

Weeden seems to be more in favor of stepping BACK in the pocket when the rush is on.

Arg..

Anyone can run behind our oline.
