We are still a run team

[davidariust24]

Zeke needs to get the ball. Him and Pollard ran well in Packers game. We can run the football well. Dak is a good QB but Zeke is one of the best RBs in the league. We abandoned the run in the second half of that game. Our passing attack is based on play action so far. We cant allow teams to make us one dimensional again. Give zeke and Pollard the ball. We are 19-4 when Zeke gets over 100 yards. It's that simple. Give him the ball and we win. Its Kellen Moores job to find balance but we need to run.

We abounded the run because we were so far behind. Had we not fell behind 17-0 and 31-3, I’m pretty sure we would’ve run the ball much more. Football 101.

We were passing successfully. The first pick was a fluke that should have been a catch. By then the defense decided to mail it in for the day and couldn't get off the field. Once they got down 17-0 it was pretty much abandon the run to score quick.

You aren’t running the ball down 28.

The point is to run from the beginning , commit to it and control the game and not just run here and there. We area run team. We need to run

But running doesn't work so well, if your passing isn't a threat.

Lol. Again my point is the run the ball from the beginning to the end if possible. The reason you run is to prevent interceptions from happening. You wont get down by 28 if you run the ball with zeke and pollard

Maybe you didn’t watch the game. We were running successfully to start the game. We got down by 17 pretty damned quick and then had to change gears.

You also won’t beat any NFL team if all you do is run the ball. It’s too easy to stop. This isn’t 1970’s Oklahoma v. Nebraska.

Any team that is down by multiple scores in the 2nd half will "abandon" the run.

This is the second week the defense couldn't get off field. New Orleans had the ball almost an entire quarter longer than we did.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

With Cooper, Gallup, Cobb, Witten, Jarwin and RB's that can be a threat in the passing game in Zeke and Pollard we should be both. What are we saying if we can't move the ball through the air with these weapons? I believe we are a team that can do both, and should do both.

Yes you will. They were running the ball lol.

We’re a nothing team right now. Bunch of overpaid underachieving frauds. No better than 8-8. More Jason Garrett not having team ready. More missed Brett Maher FG’s. More 33yd Chris Jones muffs. More of the same nonsense we’ve seen the last 25 years.

The run game hasn't been as efficient and explosive as the past 3 yrs. So is it the new OC's run blocking scheme? Is it injuries on the oline (fred not back to his old self yet/martin back)? Or is it zeke lacking his typical speed and explosion?

Zeke

Zeke

Maybe all of the above

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Run or Pass ....

We PUNTED almost on every drive , until trash time . down 31-3 .

 

[Brooksey]

For the talent we have up front and in the backfield, i'm not impressed with our running game. Columbo not doing that good of a job with this bunch, there's no room to run. Pass protection before 77 went down was great

Zeke always running up the middle when the defense is waiting for him, no thanxs. We are a run team when he uses his speed on the outside to make the defense guess. He rarely does it anymore.
