According to the two most important influences to the Dallas Cowboys’ offense, head coach Jason Garrett and quarterback Dak Prescott would like to get All-Pro running back Ezekiel Elliott more involved in the passing game in 2017.
Per ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer, Prescott had the following to say about Elliott’s impact: “Zeke can get more catches this year without him playing more plays,” Prescott said. “I think just his ability with the ball in his hands is valuable to this offense. So in the passing game [if] the defense is giving us soft coverage, get it to him and let him do what’s best.
