We had a run game with Zeke

[sacase]

They asked and he said no. Simple as that.

He sealed his own fate in Dallas.

I thought he said he was willing. If not then I am willing.

Oh.. were going to gamble with Pollard. A player that had a bad break and surgery. Zeke got those dirty yards in short and goal situations. Either kept Zeke or draft a back instead of a tight end. This organization makes brain fart decision at times. Hope they learned a lesson and draft a back next season.

Zeke is gone, this is stupid. Go watch the Patriots.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

If that's what you want to think......but who is on the Cowboy roster now with our OL?

Huh?

Zeke’s been in decline for years and that carried over to the Pats.

 

[Captain43Crash]

I knew someone was gonna make a post like this.

Get your brains checked.

Anyone watching the game (or this season in general) saw the Lions d-line living in our backfield yesterday. Zeke definitely would not have made the difference.

How’s Zeke and his 3.5 YPC doing in New England?

Are some fans blind!!!!!

The run blogging was terrible! At one point, as crazy as it sounds, I was saying to myself, stop running the ball it is a waste of a down.

The run scheme is terrible. Our scheme is basic and simple. We need some motion and misdirection. All we did last night was run inside the tackles.

Zeke was toast here.

But there is something to be said about having a load bearing back to keep Pollard fresh.

Zeke was awful my gosh.

Pollard is still better. You’re not putting blame where it belongs.

 

[CATCH17]

Zeke is not the answer and Pollard is not the answer. We need new rbs. Most of the good ones come in late rounds now I'm sure we'll be drafting one.

RB isn’t the answer either..


Run blocking sucks.

Its very weird that you can watch Cowboys games and think the runner is the problem.

We had an oline too. Zeke was done so he’s was sent out to pasture

 

[Hardline]

The Cowboys made a huge mistake not drafting O'Cyrus Torrence in the 2nd round last year. Especially after taking Mazi over Bergeron in the first.
This year should shut up all you "iT,s A pAsSiNg lEaGuE" clowns. I've told you all until I'm blue in the face. The Cowboys historically have only been successful with a great running game.

The oline is why we can’t run and our QB had been sacked 39 times.

 

[GMO415]

This run game needs to be fixed. Dallas can't continue to throw themselves into clock management.

It’s so bad.

I don’t know if it’s a player issue or a scheme issue either.

I think we fix this in the draft.

I’m just glad you didn’t name some Longhorn prospect you grossly overrated.

I can’t imagine Martin got that bad in one year. I tend to think it’s more scheme but who knows. Martin hasn’t been good at all. Biadasz is gone so next year rookie center is possible but if it’s scheme they got to fix it. Our run game is terrible and I don’t think it’s all on the RB. Too many times they are hit in the backfield

They need to stop running him up the damn middle every play,use him on pitch outs,sweeps..etc..let him use his speed...this and the run defense is going to be our downfall if not fixed asap.

" we had a run game with zeke "

that was before Zeke himself broke down.. it's a reason why he's at journeyman status nowadays.
Dirty yards are about 3 yards, ..that's not a run attack.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

It has to be scheme in my opinion. This line is stacked with players that at one point or another were premium run blockers.

I just don’t think they would magically forget how to get in someone’s way.

Ditto here.

I cannot imagine going from All pro last year,..to a far lesser campaign, in just the very next year.
and this is not an outside in space OT role,.. it's in a more limited, confined phone booth area
where OGs can play-last into their mid-30s ages. I could understand if it was a lingering back,
knee or foot injury. But I've not heard of any report on Martin in that sense.

We have to look into Solari's scheme and technique-teaching- because that's where I think it clearly starts.
Maybe Solari is not all of it, but it surely starts there, imo.
I expect yet another OL coach change after the season

BTW, How many OL coaches have we've been thru in last 5-6 years ? ( Pollack, Alexander, Columbo, Philibin, Solari)

I'm still waiting on those 10 sure fire first rounders I claimed.
