The Dallas Cowboys have one of the best, if not the best running back in the NFL in All-Pro Ezekiel Elliott. However, after multiple 100-yard performances in his rookie season, it’s apparent Tony Pollard needs the ball more in 2020 and Cowboys Wire sees a simple solution to having the two backs on the field together; run Pollard as a slot option like he was at Memphis.
With the current coronavirus pandemic handicapping team’s ability to communicate with potential draftees, the Cowboys have taken to the virtual world to interview TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor and Michigan State edge rusher Kenny Willekes.
The Cowboys have added help on the interior of their defensive line in free agency, however, five-time Pro Bowler Cameron Wake is still floating around on the open market and could provide another valuable commodity rushing the passer from the perimeter.
The Cowboy’s recent draft success, the 10-year anniversary of the destruction of Texas Stadium, and how there’s value in the passing attack after Cooper and Gallup are covered in the news and notes.
