15 total carries in a ball game. We will not make it in the NFC if we don't run the ball consistently. I love Romo and our passing attack, but we have 2 running backs that are very capable of getting 100 yards a game.

The scariest team in the NFC right now is the Vikings. Yeah, I know we beat them, but I guarantee you no one wants to play them right now. Why? There two-back attack.

Actually No... they dont scare me. The media is annointing them.

They still are who we thought they were.

Who is annointing them, they are winning with fundamental football. Great running game and a good defense.

it's called playing from behind the entire game...:(

We averaged 4.8 yards per carry (not counting Romo's 15-yard scramble) and rushed for two touchdowns.

Who have they beat? And who is their quarterback? I rest my case.

Plus we were playing from behind so we let Romo air it out.

The key to beating the Vikings, IMO, is to pass on them, and set up the occasional run that way.

And if you can get a quick lead, that will take them away from their running game a bit.

JuJo is soft like wet toiletpaper. No vision or cutback. MBIII=Beast.
Wake up Dorsett, you should know something about running backs if youre going to name yourself after one.

I don't dislike J Jones at all. I think he's doing a decent job for us.

That said, I honestly don't think he's back next year. What I'm not sure about is whether MBIII is going to be our lead back and we draft a guy later on to complement him.

Or, whether we really try to go for the home run and trade for DMac and use MBIII as the "closer".

Yes I do know something about running the ball. We haven't run the ball consistently all year. This isn't just being down and coming from behind. The only reason that fans don't complain is that we have completed a majority of our passes when up. I would like to see a little more consistency and balance. That's the only way we beat the Pats.

We are not the Pats. We are the COWBOYS!!! We don't have to throw the ball every down. As much as you guys may dislike Julius, we would be so dangerouse is we used he and Marion consistently. Listen, I played wide receiver in college, I love to air it out. I just think we would be unbeatable if we utilized all of our weapons. That's what the Patriots do.

The Vikings had a weird running day against the 49ers. It was 31 carries for 117 yards, which is 3.77 yards per carry. Taylor had a 84 yard TD run. Without that it means the Vikings gained 33 yards on 30 carries. That seems strange. Peterson was held to 3 yards on 14 carries.

Dallas was having early success running the ball but as we started falling behind in the game we started going to the air more often.
