With Amari out, Jarwin out & reshuffling of the OL the Cowboys needs to utilize Tony Pollard and Zeke in the passing game more. Tony Pollard’s 4.3 speed needs to be utilized more and allow him to attack middle of the field and deep by utilizing drags, Texas, and post routes. Doing this with 2 RB set will help setup the run game more and allow Zeke to run in the middle and control tempo of the game.

I'm down with this.
Kellen is probably problem-solving as we type, although it's a bit late in the week.

Targets this Season:
Pollard 25
Zeke 32
Cooper 65

Emmitt averaged 46 per game.

once again, we have the number 1 offense. Gallup is pretty damn good, he can basically replace Cooper, Wilson can step right back into the role he was already filling when Gallup was out. I dont see us missing a ton this week from where we were from weeks 2-9. It would be nice to have all our starters back to see what the team can do. These players missing games for various reasons is painful at this point.

I totally agree about Pollard being used more as a slot guy ,get his speed out in space. Not many RB's with his speed so use all of it.

Zeke fine as is.

This team has alot of options to help mitigate the loss of cooper. More passes to the RB's is one option as is more verticle passing to the TE's and don't forget the young guys at wr we seldom use. All options should be in the game plan. What it will come down to is exploiting the 1 on 1 matchups and seeing how the defense lines up.

Pollard led the Cowboys last week in receptions with 6 at over 9 YPR. We dont need more Zeke in the passing game, we need more Pollard.

Zeke is back to his routine of putting his head down and stumbling up the middle for a few yards.

The explosive plays for WRs come when Zeke picks up blitzes and chips on pass protection. You need speed and strength to win the NFL!

Where on earth would Dak and the passing attack be without Zeke and his 15 million dollar blocking skills. They probably couldnt even complete a pass. :lmao2::lmao2::lmao:

to give a reference point and show that the rbs are getting plenty of looks. the real question is how did emmit avg 46 per game lol
Thought the same, had to take a double take on Emmitt and 42 per, but X said it, so it has to be realistic. Never known X to exxagerate the facts.
