After being eliminated from the playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys’ offseason has officially begun. The team will have several difficult choices to make as it pertains to their roster.
RB - Ezekiel Elliott
Elliott went from a top-five pick to the top-paid, bell-cow running back, to a short-yardage back for Dallas. If it wasn’t clear before, the injury to Pollard exposed how far the run game falls back when it goes from Pollard or Elliott. The Cowboys’ offensive line was opening holes against the 49er front seven, but the gains that could’ve gone for six to eight yards for Pollard were two-to-three-yard gains for Elliott.
