It's early but we just saw what Dak has been missing in one drive.

All this thread needs is one of our resident know it all's to tell us that Amari Cooper is not one of the best receivers in the NFL.

Dallas has interior OL issues. They suck at C and LG. Still need to get Gregory back on defense.
LVE & Zeke suck too. Quinn has gotten too predictable on defense.

As hobbled as the Saints are and with Dallas back near full strength, they should pull away in the 2nd half if they are for real.

The Saints are doing well on defense. On that three and out Zeke was tackled before he could take a step. They are covering receivers well. The Cowboys still look like they are firing with a couple plugs not firing. They will lose this one if they can't get going and get some open receivers and something in the running game.

Dallas looks like **** to start the 2nd half. This team is exhausting to root for.

How the hell is Pollard not the #1 RB? He's so much better than Zeke. Zeke is a damn FB.

Neither one of them can run for more than a yard the way the OL is getting dominated. Makes it hard to do much offensively.

Edit: Nevermind. I’m a few minutes behind live watching this.

Pollard and Zeke can both run well but neither have got anything up the middle. Pollard got that run because he is fast as hell and finally had a lane to get past the line.

Pollard is the more explosive back. It’s not even close.

That's true, but Zeke is the more complete back. Ask Dak how important Zeke is picking up blitzes. He's one of the best in the NFL and for a pass first team with OL issues that matters a lot.

I knew Taysom Hill was an athlete, but I had no idea he was as fast as he has shown tonight.

He's a pass blocker, not a #1 RB. Dallas has never been a pass first team. Their identity all season has been running it to open up the big play.

Dak just looks out of sorts right now. To me he just hasn't really been the same since he came back from the calf injury.

Have you watched Dallas at all lately?

They are 3rd in the NFL in passing yards per game. Thru 11 games this season they've thrown it 422 times vs 307 runs.

Maybe consider doing an ounce of research before speaking authoritatively.
