The disconnect I believe is not the % of run pass. It’s when to run and when to pass. When to take shots when not to take shots. Everyone keeps harping on mccarthys “I wanna run the damn ball” comment but to me it’s just him speaking to a bigger issue about getting better situationally.

In the divisional game it was 6-6 with 1:30 left in the half. We were on their 20. 2&2. We get the ball at halftime- dak throws a terrible interception that completely changes the game. It’s those little things like that that McCarthy is trying to guard against. Down and distance, game situations and saving dak from himself.
When a HC has to save a QB from himself then the issue isn;t the running game or the recently dismissed OC but.....the QB!!!!!!

This is a bit confusing coz something isn't adding up.........timing, sequence, play design??????

I mean MM says Kellen wanted to light up the scoreboard, he wanna rub the ball........



so fat mike is just running his mouth about running more, and it wasn't dak fault he threw more ints In fewer games than anybody else in the NFL.
what a joke team. Keep blaming others fat mike and jerry. smh

Doesn't matter if KM ran the ball 70% of the time. It's all about situational game calling. Having Zeke run up the gut or having him bounce outside is a waste of a down. Plus KM gamecalling especially in the run game was to obvious and one dimensional. You could see a run play coming a mile away most times.

That is because :espn: told him they need to crap on the Cowboys for a segment. Did you see that bafoon Ryan Clark trying to diss MM. Cowturd now thinks Kellen is McVay and Shanahan rolled into one.:facepalm:
yep, as soon as KM left Dallas he became the golden boy.

It the good old Linehan 1st and goal from the 2 yard line and he throws it 3 straight times.
yep. The media is suddenly giving him a pass. MM nailed it and I agree with him. KM just didnt understand situational calls.

Ya'll trying to find a way to insinuate that he's not talking about Dak or what?
nah...its all of it. Mike knows what it takes. He has a ring. He understands he's saddled with Dak so he's doing whats best for the team.

One of the examples people seem to forget is against Jacksonville. If Moore runs the ball on 3rd down, Dallas wins and likely gets the 1 seed. He passed. We lost

Ed Werder needs to retire.

45% is a low number Ed.
And also not just low but it was how the run plays were called as well.
I am extremely glad Moore is gone.

To be fair, we were around 2k yds in rushing.

Cowturd said on his podcast last year that basically he needs to talk about the Cowboys and Lakers because they drive his shows ratings. Plus he needs to be negative about them because that drives Social Media posts. He basically said that is why Dak and Anthony Davis are whipping boys.

EXACTLY. I haven't forgotten and neither did MM. I think that may have been the final straw for MM in his mind. Who knows what we may have done in the playoffs had that game ended differently.

Post of the day so far.
Too bad many will not accept this as the correct answer.
They only want to call MM names and complain about the universe. :laugh:

I remember many comments about that play, why not run at that point.

shock jocks stink because u only get a grain of truth every so often. I miss the days of actual journalism and integrity, when it mattered. Now its just ugly and unwatchable. I guess I'm dating myself.
