We have a problem. The Dallas Cowboys are a team that has been built around the running game Dallas Cowboys Trysten Hill Jersey , with massive investments in the offensive line and a star running back. Yet more and more analysis shows that running the ball, particularly on early downs, is inefficient and leads to failure. Now, with Ezekiel Elliott indicating an interest in getting an extension negotiated, the Cowboys face a dilemma. Do they stick with a plan that all data and logic show to be counterproductive, do they shift their approach and try to use Elliott in a more effective manner, or do they consider moving on from the player who many deem to be the best overall talent on the roster?These are some radical thoughts, and frankly some do not accept the basic premise that running the ball on first and ten greatly reduces a team’s chances of advancing and scoring. Yet source after source finds this to be exactly what happens. One very detailed examination came from the FiveThirtyEight website early last season. Here are some of the results of their study.This establishes a key part of the argument. The idea is not that running is bad. It actually is a crucial part of the game and can yield very positive results when done the right way at the right time. If you haven’t clued in to it, that second paragraph is what makes this so pertinent to Dallas. Scott Linehan lost his job, and one of the perceived reasons was that he just kept running Elliott into those loaded boxes. He had the attitude that he could impose his will on the opponent even if they knew what he intended to do. That worked brilliantly in 2016, when Elliott was a new factor and the offensive line was at or near its peak performance level (with 2014 rivaling it). It was often a pretty dismal failure in 2018 with a line incorporating a rookie left guard, a backup center, and All-Pros at left tackle and right guard that had some injury issues to deal with.Now the question is whether new OC Kellen Moore is going to do things differently, or is he going follow Linehan’s blueprint, perhaps at the behest of head coach Jason Garrett? Garrett is the architect of the Dallas offense. Will he be willing to pivot from what he has built over his tenure as head coach, or risk being victim to stubbornness the way Linehan was?Here, at least, there is hope. First Womens Trysten Hill 2019 Jersey , consider what is a successful way to utilize the run, as outlined by Marcus Mosher at Pro Football Weekly.I am very receptive to this way of thinking, because I loathe using “heavy” sets like 12 personnel, especially when the team does run out of them rather than trying to cross up the defense with a pass. Running the ball on third and short, for instance, makes perfect sense if you do not allow the defense to load up the box because they know what is coming. That is why 11 personnel is so functional. It allows you to run or pass. Give Dak Prescott the option to change the play based on what the defense is showing him, and trust him to throw when it has a higher chance of success, and the lame offense we saw last year suddenly can be one of the high-powered affairs that got four teams to the championship round in the playoffs this year.That is why Moore offers a real chance this can happen. I keep coming back to this quote, used in the article linked in the previous paragraph, to pin my hopes on.That certainly sounds exactly like what Sean McVay and others have done to make their entire offense perform at very high levels. This is one reason why it may be wise to hold off on an extension for Elliott. First, the team needs to see what it can do this year, including with him. It could, and really should, mean that the offense is no longer run through him. The passing game is the engine that teams need to use in the modern NFL, with all the rules favoring it. And if the Cowboys can exploit this properly, they will have a real advantage over most of the league. Again, from the FiveThirtyEight article.This is still very dependent on Moore and perhaps how much autonomy he has as OC. But he has three valuable commodities to work with: An offensive line that is expected to be healthier this year with the hoped-for return of a 100% or close Travis Frederick, arguably the most talented running back in the NFL in Elliott Dallas Cowboys Trysten Hill Jersey , and a good quarterback in Prescott who, it is hoped, will improve under the tutelage of new QB coach Jon Kitna. With proper utilization, Elliott may see fewer carries, particularly on early downs, but higher yards per carry as he faces fewer defenders when he does get the ball. Of course, his usage should also be dictated by the fact that Elliott is still the most productive running in the league.Except, maybe he isn’t.Football Outsiders uses their own metric, DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement, to judge how effective players are. And for the 2018 season, Elliott only ranks ninth in the league. This does not appear to be because of his own abilities and talent. It is another condemnation of how he was used in the inefficient Dallas offense under Linehan.Taking all this into consideration, Elliott certainly has great value. He is just being misused, like hauling dirt for your lawn in a Porsche Carrera. There is no need for him to change, just maybe to accept a somewhat different role in the offense - a role that could well lead to more big plays and points for him.How the new offensive staff handles all this will largely dictate the success or failure of the Cowboys this year. The parts are there if they can be put together properly. The biggest concern is that too much of the old way of doing things carry over and we still see Elliott being run into loaded boxes. Use formations and motion to empty out the box, or throw the ball when the defense moves into single coverage to stop the run, and the offense should thrive.

Naturally, this means that slot receiver is something to pay attention to over the next few weeks with Cole Beasley’s contractual status up in the air.Beasley is set to be a free agent and people are split on whether they want him back or would rather go all in on a rookie prospect, or even dip into cheaper options in free agency. For what it’s worth, a report surfaced on Saturday night that the Cowboys want Beasley back, but not at a particular price point.$20M guaranteed isn’t the roof for wide receivers in the NFL, but it’s definitely worth thinking about before jumping in. Consider that two years ago DeSean Jackson signed a three-year, $35M deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that had $20M guaranteed. Jackson was just a bit older than than Beasley is now, and he had a resum茅 that was much longer and padded with accomplishments. Beasley is certainly a very good wide receiver, but whether he’s worth $20M guaranteed seems to be a potential tipping point for the Cowboys.
