he probably has a better chance to get to run the ball this game since his buddy isn't playing changing the plays.
Zeke: We have to commit to the run

Zeke was absolutely right, the OL run blocking win rate was ridiculously effective vs a vaunted Tampa front 7.

That's just it...we WERE blocking Tampa. Moore hates a running game.
When it's not working he has an excuse. When it is working he doesn't want it known.

JJ said we would be sticking with the run. I know he was mad about Moore playcalling. If it’s not corrected he will step in. Here is the problem. We play the bucs and they used a lot of 5-7 defenders. Begging for us to run. If we ran the ball 35+ times we would have had a close game. Now we will play the bengals and they saw the film on Elliot’s runs. With Dak out, the bengals will stack the line and have Rush try to beat them with rookie WR and a back up QB. Now if they run a tampa style and Moore don’t commit to the run then Moore needs to go..

I have never blamed Dak for that. I think you may be mistaking me for some other poster. If you can find a post where I did blame Dak for that, please copy and send it to me, I must have been on something if I wrote that!

Committing to the run and not having penalties.
Can't commit to the run and then have 5 yard penalties

Actually you can. If you look at what happened on two occasions when the Cowboys ran it even after the false start penalty.. One Pollard got 9 and on the other I think Zeke got 7. In both cases leaving you with 2nd and manageable distance when frankly they SHOULD have run it again .. But of course they didn't and the drives stalled.. which most people blamed on the penalties.. when they should have been blaming Moore and Dak.

Agree with you in those cases but you are not gonna make a living that way normally.

Indeed I did! Sorry. Mixed up with some other "theories".
Your theory was they run him because he makes a lot of money? Or...they SHOULD?
I agree...but they aren't doing that! It's maddening.
The theory I mis-attributed was Kiladi's, that Moore is (might be) checking out of Moore's called runs...not sure I buy that.
