The Dallas running game has morphed over the last three years. Rightfully, it’s not just the talent at the position that can be credited for their achievements, but also their coach, Skip Peete. Peete’s departure represents a changing of the guard.
After his contract wasn’t renewed in Dallas, there hadn’t been much movement until the past couple of days. Peete has found a new home, joining the Buccaneers staff. Just a few hours after Peete found his home, the Cowboys found his with an in-house signing. Assistant offensive line coach Jeff Blasko will be taking over the position according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Blasko joined the Dallas staff with Mike McCarthy after coaching with him in Green Bay from 2016 through 2018. Both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott could be finding new homes this offseason with the former a free agent and the latter holding a huge cap number.
Blasko could start from scratch in his first year coaching the stable. Meanwhile Tampa Bay will be the fifth team Peete has coached running backs for and he inherits a group with question marks as well.
