The way we beat TB is turning Pollard loose

[Rockport]

We need to run the ball 30+ time’s minimum…

And the way you do that is by passing on the first down more than usual .

We run on first down more than anyone - you flip the script Monday by mixing it up .

Pollard needs 20 Carries - Zeke 10 +

If Dak throws 45 times we lose

Haven’t been able to run the ball the last several games. But I agree just don’t see how the OL gets any better. Maybe if Biadaz comes back strong.

Agree. Get the TE's more involved in the blocking and short passing game also.

Tampa will pressure Dak and will tackle our RBs, they are an agressive defense and the offense can be explosive with those wideouts.

Our best bet is to keep the old guy on the bench and stack long drives for 6, no FGs, IOW play some Cowboys football!

Unfortunately none of our tight ends is any better than a C-minus blocker. I think they're about as "involved" as they're gonna get on that count. They're just not very good at it. The youngsters might improve but at this point I've given up on Schultz ever becoming anything more than a speed bump type blocker. If that.. The positive thing is that I don't think Tampa has a "great" pass rush. It's okay but it's not on the level of Philly or even Washington. Vea led them in sacks.. which is scary enough in itself. But after him it was Nelson, White and Winfield. Decent pass rushers but not one dominant guy among them.. except you gotta know where Winfield is at all times. That dude can ruin your day a variety of ways.

What happened to Shaq Mason?

What happened to Shaq Mason?

I assume you mean Shaq Barrett as I don't see a Mason on their roster. I know he got hurt at some point this season but I have not looked up his status for the playoffs.

 

[CowboysExchange]

Yes! Dead on brother. But can KM stay committed to the run and can we give the lions share of carries to Pollard?

I'ma ride off into the sunset on the legs of Pollard and Davis frfr

They making those bigger chunk plays that matters.

Passing and Rushing

Do NOT give Zeke the ball. Waste of carries.

 

[Rayman70]

Agree. If we cant run we get blown out.

 

[Praxit]

..We need Bias back. THis OL wont work. THey can pass protect, but crap for running.

 

[Rayman70]

Davis might be the key. Fresh legs and he has power.

 

[Rayman70]

Does anyone in here actually believe KM will come up with a run first scheme to beat the Bucs?

no.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Yep, that's the one, Barret, hope that passrush is weakend and our Oline can give Dak a good pocket.

 

[Rayman70]

at least GB is eliminated. IF we get past the Bucs we wont have to play GB.

 

[Rayman70]

Zeke's legs are tired. Run Davis with pollard all game using Zeke at the GL.

We're just inviting a better opposing Lb to the play and balls will get tipped

Schultz had 9 targets yesterday and 10 the week before

It's a silly game plan to target a te that has no big play capability at the playoff level. lol

 

[cnuball21]

Better hope the OL shows up. They’ve been getting bullied the last few weeks and the run game has been nowhere near as good as it used to.

[SteveTheCowboy]

Do you know how many carries he had vs Green Bay?

Oh yeah....i do. Was that the game he felt gassed?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

LOL..........allow it to get stuffed? You mean Zeke will get stuffed. So its Moore's fault that you hero Zeke gets stuffed?

If you know that we will get stuffed, then what is the point of running the ball? Why not have a game plan to pass?

Tony got stuffed by washington too. A d eagles. And jags. And giants.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No that was the game he has 22 carries and in OT he was averaging 10 yards a carry.

BTW he had 115 yards and averaged around 5.2 for the entire game.

How about the giants game....remember that one.

It doesnt matter who gets the ball with this ol.

Look like IR done for the season..
