Between the tackles has been Zeke's bread and butter. BUT, Looney and Connie WIlliams were no match for Donald and Suh.

That's where coaches should of game planned differently. But we have lazy coaches who don't like to do homework!

Exactly. Garret thinks this is the 90's Cowboys where we just mauled people with the OL and the play call was "Emmitt left" or "Emmitt right". He refuses to adapt to what he's seeing on the field and it drives me nuts.

 

[BoltsNHorns]

Well at least he might consider not doing that God-awful “ feed me “ gesture

It got old after the 100th time he did it

Wait, Cowboys fans get tire of that too? I wonder if Saints fans get tire of Thomas flexing his muscle after every catch?

I would say that the ridiculousness of that contrived move reached its zenith when during last game when after a run he invokes said gesture and then proceeds to grab his leg in pain and takes himself out of the game due to injury

I was like WTH was that about?

You would think someone calling the plays would say "hey, lets try something else" at some point.

It looked a lot like his first NFL regular season game. Play calling and QB play did him no favors.

Dak averaged 8.3 yards per attempt. It "worked" because the Rams' offense got 30 first downs and 275 yards on the ground.

It worked because Dallas had 4 straight punts and 4 straight drives with less than 3:00 possession.

 

[Cannibal_Cowboy]

Dak's fault.

Also Dak's fault we could stop the run and stop them on the final drive.

Pretty simple really.

Alright Kencompoop, we get it already.
Dak did save face and play great at the end of the year. That's been established.

However, for you to make it a point to champion Dak EVERY single post you make (all fifty of them a day) is now becoming much more than a man crush.

This is getting really weird. Like " Dak needs to get a restraining order against you" kind of weird.

That's definitely what happened on just those four drives that you picked out, yes.

As for the entire game, Dallas scored 22 points on 8 drives. The only teams that averaged better than that during the season were the Chiefs, Saints, and Rams.

Yea, we've been over this lol.

I think the biggest difference was that Suh came to play yesterday. I know Suh has underachieved this year - whether it's due to injury, age, or apathy I can't tell, I don't watch much Rams football - but he showed up Saturday in a big way. With Donald being Donald and that Cory Littleton also flying to the ball, Zeke didn't have anywhere to go.

Also related: when people say "OL> RB", all I'm hearing is "5 players > 1 player". When you've got 5 guys in the trenches all pretty much getting rocked, there is only so much more that 1 guy can do.

 

[Nav22]

On the three Dallas touchdown drives, Zeke had 9 carries for 8 yards.

B-b-but Dak is just a bus driver who can’t carry the offense!!!

We are blaming Zeke's lack of numbers against the Rams on Rod now?

@Fredbeard what'd I say

So why keep bringing it up?

There's many more on the other side of the debate that do the same thing. Pappy, Khalid, Erod, etc etc

 

[Asklesko]

They took Zeke out of the picture, just like everyone said they would, and Dak couldn't win the game himself, because he sucks!

Ok, whatever.

I don't post that much about Dak and someone has to counter all of the brainless drivel about our qb.

 

[aria]

winning the rushing title twice in three yrs means nothing but this game means everything?

It means he carried the ball more than every other RB and certainly had a much, much better O line than Barkley.

 

[Doomsay]

The plan was to take Zeke away and make Dak beat us. It worked.

Dak had a lot of opportunities to win.

 

[Doomsay]

On the three Dallas touchdown drives, Zeke had 9 carries for 8 yards.

It opened up the pass, obviously.
