Many have worried that the Dallas Cowboys will have to change up their offense following the departure of DeMarco Murray to the Philadelphia Eagles, moving away from the run-heavy scheme that brought success in 2014.
However, Bob Sturm of the Dallas Morning News is more concerned about a potential shift in the pass attack than he is about how the loss of Murray from a gameplan standpoint:
The real discussion we need to have is whether we like our 3rd WR (Cole Beasley or Devin Street) more than we like our 2nd TE (Gavin Escobar). I am sure that this offers different game situations to consider and we need to think carefully about the ramifications of replacing a 6’6 player with a 5’8 player (approx) and losing 100 pounds but gaining a matchup issue inside.
Do I expect the Cowboys to run the ball for that many yards and carries? Well, maybe not, but it worked wonderfully and if they can get a legit RB1 in, I don’t know why I would get away from it until the league shows they can slow me down. The league hasn’t come close to that yet.
