The Dallas Cowboys easily have one of the worst running attacks in the NFL. Through six games the Cowboys have totaled 463 yards for a team average of 3.5 yards per attempt. Rico Dowdle leads the team in rushing, but as a talent, he’s “fine.” Ezekiel Elliott doesn’t have the same explosiveness he once had and has struggled to succeed in his second stint with the team. Deuce Vaughn, who many expected to provide Dallas with an explosive change of pace runner, has been outrushed by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Perhaps this was all predictable. The Cowboys were supposed to draft a running back, but they boldly ignored the advice and did not draft a running back.
