I saw some of this too. But I was also watching TEs in the running game and it is amazing how TEs on some teams actually help create running lanes for the RBs. Dallas does not have a TE who can block. I am wondering if losing Jarwin hurt. I never thought he was much of a run blocker but I wasn't really paying that much attention to him.
Oh he may be the worst blocking TE on the team. He was the one who whiffed on the option play against Tampa that got Zeke dropped for a loss on 3rd and goal. Sprinkle was supposed to be a blocking TE but I don't think he has even been active lately. We absolutely do not have a good blocking TE that has been active on game day in some time. We also only have one WR who is a good downfield blocker and that's Brown. The rest are pretty terrible at it. On Pollard's 31 yard run on the wildcat play Gallup blocked his man for 2 Mississippi's and then let him go.. If he holds him to 3 Mississippi's that's a touchdown. When Zeke broke off is 47 yarder against Carolina it was him against 3 DBs for 30 yards.. Not one of our receivers hustled back to run interference the way Dez and TWill used to. It's absolutely maddening. And the main reason we don't have any more house call runs or catch and runs any more.. We can't block.
