Cowboys RB playing time will depend on offensive line performance

The Dallas Cowboys head into their 2024 training camp with a murky cloud hanging over the running back position. Who will be the starter, or more importantly, who will get the most touches? Interestingly, how that shakes out could depend a lot on the performance of the offensive line.

Sometimes you know who the primary back will be no matter the circumstances. That was the case last season with Tony Pollard and for years before him with Ezekiel Elliott. Even in 2022, when Pollard was the more effective back, Zeke still edged him out in total touches.
