Only the Joneses could give a power RB the biggest contact and promote a passing QB to OC and then hire a pass game HC.
Kellen was gonna pass 60 times even if Martin was there ...
If you watch that game again, watch the Q1 and see how Bowles was setting his front 7 up. He wanted Prescott to air it out, they were not running on that D last night.Honestly, if they thought they could run successfully against Tampa, they WOULD have run more than they did.

True . But the run game will be needed at some stage against other teams .well, the bucs were number one in stopping the run and the middle of their defense was very stout. we got no push at all. I was surprised we didn't use the screen pass more often or didn't try to run to the edge more
Agreed . Kellen played his cards wellI hope not. I want it to be a team that adapts to situations. The Bucs have a superb run defense, but every team won't have that. We'll meet some opponents that we'll be able to run on really well. In that case, run down their throats and pig up the time of possession. I don't blame this team for passing so much last night. The run just wasn't working. I see what they did as adapting, and that's a good thing.
Sure. They can do it better.True . But the run game will be needed at some stage against other teams .
No running game ? What does that mean ? Dak threw 80% of the snaps . All 75% plus drop back passing percentage ended with 0-7 according to Espn . But it seems like the way the country will roll . This is a huge paradigm shift for the cowboys.
Imagine if we had Vita Vea next to a healthy Gallimore!Didn't you watch Vita Vea push our OLinemen (including Tyron) all the way back to Dak? Do you think we could have moved him on a run play?
And they have good LBs so it would have been hard to run on the edges also.
Zeke was Martins interior replacement. Thank him. Dak would have been dead by half time without Zeke throwing himself in the middle all game.No running game ? What does that mean ?

Honestly, they did think they could run the ball until they lost Zack Martin just a few days before game day. They still tried to run the ball but couldn't do it so they made an in-game adjustment to a more pass-heavy plan.Honestly, if they thought they could run successfully against Tampa, they WOULD have run more than they did.
yes zeke has no burst . Kellen called a great offensive game . But the running game has to be used in the future and wonder if it is a strength anymore.Now?? This has been a passing team for a long time now. Zeke is trending down and most runs by him just kills momentum. Plus, TB's DL was killing us and we weren't going to run. They had no real answer for our passing game. Do what works. And the run game was not working in the least.
