Run Dak Run! We saw it last week for what felt like the first time this season. He’s always been a mobile QB. Once ran for 1,000 yards in a college season. He’s not a great pocket passer. Consider almost every one of his career 26 rushing TDs was in the red zone, it will improve this area too.
- Cowboys are 21-4 when Dak has a rushing TD in a game.
- Cowboys are 25-8 when Dak has 5+ rushing attempts in a game.
- Cowboys are 16-18 when Dak has 2 or less rushing attempts in a game.
After watching Cleveland’s defense dismantle Purdy and the 49ers it made me wonder why both Dallas and Cleveland, two defenses that were leading defensive team stats in almost every category not long ago, had such different results. Which starting defensive line below is the Browns and Cowboys? First 2 are DEs with most snaps, next 2 are DTs with most snaps. Hint: Cowboys are the undersized one. Wonder if we’ll ever be able to overcome being a small, fast defense in the Playoffs?
- A: 6’3" 265 lbs, 6’3" 245 lbs, 6’2" 280 lbs, 6’2" 320 lbs
- B: 6’4" 272 lbs, 6’4" 275 lbs, 6’4" 303 lbs, 6’3" 325 lbs
Does a Dallas Cowboy ever come back from serious injury? Jerry needs to re-consider these contract renewals on damaged goods.
- Newest ones this year are Marcus Steele, graded as almost the worst RT in NFL in PFF this year. Jourdan Lewis.
- Michael Gallup still not performing. 18 receptions on 32 targets. 50/50 at best for a catch.
- Dak Prescott. See above. Lost his run, and never been the same.
- Tony Pollard. First time in 5 years with less than 4.0 ypc. Only broke one run above 25 thus far. Last year 11 broken tackles. Only 2 so far this year. Didn’t see any comments on this, but anyone worried he was run down by the DB on an open field run last week?
