The first seven weeks of the season were sort of a mixed bag for the Cowboys as they experienced some ups and a few more downs. The real reasons the Cowboys limped into their bye week at 2-3 were because they weren’t executing their plan for success on either side of the ball.
On offense, the Cowboys were trying to figure out how to replicate their running success of the previous year in the midst of some reshuffling of their offensive line. Everything in the Cowboys’ offense runs through Ezekiel Elliott and that’s coincidental because he runs seemingly through everything.
