This past offseason saw the Dallas Cowboys make several moves to radically change their offense and transition to more of a run-heavy team. They traded away Amari Cooper, cut La’el Collins, franchise tagged Dalton Schultz, drafted Tyler Smith, and added two other tight ends from the rookie pool. There were other moves too, but it all amounted to what the Cowboys were largely admitting straight to the public: the goal was to run the ball more, and run it better.
So as the Cowboys now enter their bye week, they’re eighth in both rushing attempts and rushing yards.
