The Cowboys’ struggles with their rushing offense in 2023 have been a major offseason talking point. But while the drop in run-game productivity and efficiency was bothersome based on Dallas’ high standards, it was actually not a bad year for a Mike McCarthy offense. Given his long history in Green Bay, we may have to accept a less-potent rushing attack for as long as he remains in Dallas.
Dallas dropped to 14th in total rushing offense last season. This felt like a core meltdown for a team that has enjoyed top 10 status in rushing ever since Jason Garrett rebuilt the offensive line behind Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zack Martin.
