Garrett: 'We'd like to be more balanced'

mgb · Sep 11, 2013

The conventional wisdom was that the Dallas Cowboys would have a renewed commitment to the running game with offensive line guru Bill Callahan taking over the play-calling duties.

That wasn’t the case in Week 1, prompting head coach Jason Garrett to call for a more balanced offensive attack.

The Cowboys ran 51 pass plays, including two sacks, and only 21 running plays despite never trailing in the win over the New York Giants. (A knee-down and fumbled snaps weren’t counted in either category.) In other words, they ran the ball 29 percent of the time.

By comparison, the Cowboys ran the ball 34 percent of the time with pass-happy Garrett calling plays last season, when their 355 rushing attempts were the second-fewest in the league.

Well as long as we win I'm happy, but we are going to have to run more to be consistent and to put teams away.
