What is wrong with our run game?

[Xeven]

Just curious, we should have all the tools yet we are not vey dominant?.

I wish bill callahan was here

 

[kevm3]

Defenses are honing in on Zeke and Zeke just doesn't have that burst he used to

 

[superonyx]

No push, Offensive line seems to have lost the will or ability.

good pass blocking but run blocking has been awful.

 

[StuckMojo]

Not a lot of running lanes being opened. But it is the same running scheme we have done for 10 years. A lot of slow developing runs right up the middle.

 

[Gaede]

I think it's a problem with the coaching, tbh. The talent is there, clearly, between the OL and Zeke. But they're not blocking well, it seems

agreed. Oline isnt moving anyone. it almost seems like we’re pass blocking even when we run.

 

[Cowboy-33]

Zeke hesitating at line because he knows there isn’t gonna be a hole. Hoping to see something open up he can get to. That screen was classic Zeke.

Maybe defenses will give the running game some breathing room if Dak keeps throwing like he is? It’s going to open up soon if the passing game keeps producing like it is.

Zeke.....

Anybody who doesn’t think this team is SB bound is on crack! Go Boys!

 

[StuckMojo]

I still think they need to be creative with Zeke/Pollard in the game at same time

it will shift the defenses have been gearing up tostop zeke,,,our passing game and dak have finally been making them pay for it.. however yes adjustments will be made to stop the pass and our run game will re-emerge

 

[atlantacowboy]

Defenses are loading up to stop the run. If Dak keeps throwing for 350+, Zeke might find more room to run soon. Its pick your poison and right now, opponents are picking Dak. He got lucky today on a few of those throws. Darius Slay should have had an INT and a pick 6. But sometimes its better to be lucky than good.

 

[mahoneybill]

Stacked line of scrimmage and a tendency to hit the same holes. The D has our tendencies down to a no brainer

they did this more this game then all year..Moore has opened this pass game up for sure but work needs to be done in the run game

I just rolled my eyes so hard my neighbors told me to quiet down.

Oooh, man, I love the enthusiasm but this defense isn’t even close to playoff ready.

You are dead wrong! We’re gonna win it all this year!

Do we really know the talent is there? The OL looks good and tired. Maybe it is just injury, but they haven't been the same all year. The passing protection has been decent, but I put a lot of that on Dak and his ability to avoid pressure.

I don't really have an answer why we are playing so poorly. But I do know that the screen has been under-utilized.
