What did Madden use to say when the Cowboys had a lead in the 2nd half?

[Q_the_man]

Madden use to say it's time for a heavy dose of Emmitt.

We did not use Zeke right against the Giants.

Our 1st series from our 18 Zeke ran on first for 3 yards, then 2 straight passes- 3 and out
2nd series Zeke ran the ball 5 times, we scored on TD pass Dak to Williams 7-0
3rd series, Zeke gets back to back 4 yard carries on 1st and 2nd, then on 3rd and 2 we pass- interception------------ 7-0
4th series, Zeke 15 yards, 4 yards on first 2 plays. 2nd and 6 we pass, Dak get sack, then incompletion & punt ---- 7-0
5th series, Zeke gets 2 on 1st, then another 13 on 2nd, lose 1 on 1st then 2 straight passes- punt ----------7-0
6th series, Zeke for 14 and 4, 2 minute warning, 2nd and 6 we pass 2 straight times then punt ----------7-0
7th series, all passes, 32 seconds when series started- miss fg- halftime ------------7-0
First half we ran the ball well but continued to pass when the run was effective. ----------7-0 halftime

2nd half
1st series, Zeke for 3 yards, 2nd and 7 we pass 2 times, both incomplete- punt------------ 7-0
2nd series, Pass, pass, pass punt on 4th and 1---- 7-0
3rd series, Zeke runs for no gain, then 13 yards. 1st and 10 pass for 1st down, Zeke for 2, incompletion, sack & punt------7-3
4th series, Zeke for 4, 2nd and 6, 2 more incompletions, punt ---------- 7-10
5th series, Zeke for 4, we pass for 1st, Zeke -1 on carry, incompletion, Zeke loses 6 yards on 3rd and 11, we punt-------- 7-10
6th series, Zeke for 2, 2 more incompletions and another punt-------------- 7-10
7th series, all passes, no choice, down by 3 with 2+ minutes left, Dez fumble----- 7-10
8th series, all passes, no choice, a little over 1 minute left- game over we lose 7-10

A little beakdown

We had 2nd and 6 five times and we passed the ball each time. Dak had only 1 completion on 2nd and 6. Not one single run on 2 and 6

We had 2nd and 7 twice and passed both times on 2nd and 3rd.

Zeke only had 3 consecutive carries once.

We had 2nd down 20 times and we only ran the ball 7 times on 2nd down, most of the time it was 2nd and 6 or 7 and we passed.

Give the ball to Zeke.

You have a OC who believes the run is not needed.

Followed by "Did you see Larry Allen!"

Madden use to say "look at big Nate newton... boom and there goes emmitt right off his hip. Now there's Nate tugging up those pants. You see those big ole lineman are always......"


Your point is valid and I expect more commitment to the run this week

 

[Deep_South]

Zeke has more carries this year than any other back in the NFL, 37 more than #2 DeMarco. So we're running the ball.

good work on the breakdown ! short and concise.

It also shows how predictable dallas is in play calling.
And yes we should run more period, more on 2nd down, and on 3rd and 2!

Derek Kennard has the biggest backside in football... Boom.

No wants to hear that.

It seems to most here if the series isn't successful that means the wrong plays were called every time.

Our offense is designed around successful running. Particularly 1st down running. It's crucial.

 

[Doomsday]

Zeke has more carries this year than any other back in the NFL, 37 more than #2 DeMarco. So we're running the ball.

Yes, they are running the ball, but considering the weather and how much the passing game was struggling, they needed to keep pounding the rock in this particular game.

Even if they only avg get 2 or 3 yards, it is still 3rd and 5 instead of 3rd and 8, every time.

Also, they should of activated McFadden last week if they weren't going to use Morris in this game.

 

[gmoney112]

Why is this only listing the offensive plays?

This data is useless without also including the defensive alignment.

OP is referring to the Giants game. Obviously we've been running the ball a lot, or there's no way we'd have 11 wins.

 

[John813]

Boom!

"The Dallas Cowboys have 2 types of plays in their playbook. Passing plays, and running plays."

 

[big dog cowboy]

We did not use Zeke right against the Giants.

Not exactly breaking news but I understand.

All during the game I kept screaming at my TV to give him the ball.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

Boom!

[AzorAhai]

You have a OC who believes the run is not needed.

32. That's the number of rushing attempts per game the Cowboys have. That leads the league in case you were wondering. Try again.

 

[xvendettax914]

You have a OC who believes the run is not needed.

The body of work begs to differ.

 

[Blackspider214]

I still remember in the 2nd half, we had a 7-3 lead. Zeke just broke off a 13yd run to get into NYG territory. Something we hardly ever were at in the 2nd half. Dak and the WRs were not having their best game. This was a perfect time to lean on Zeke and the OL to keep pushing the ball down the field and take control of the game. At the worst, extend the lead to 7.

And what does Linehan proceed to call next? 2 passing plays. I didn't get it at all. None. The playcalling in this game for the most part was pretty subpar.
