Breaking: Cowboys Just Pivoted Away From Dak Prescott In Massive Way..
The Dallas Cowboys know that the 2025 season will be under a microscope. After paying Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb prior to last season, championship expectations immediately followed. However, by the time the season was halfway over, injuries had derailed their season.
In addition to signing free agents and acquiring players through trades, Dallas also has an entirely new coaching staff, led by Brian Schottenheimer. The have a whole new plan:
“The plan for the offense is to go through the run,” Sanders said via DallasCowboys.com. “You don’t get too many places where the offensive coordinator is an offensive line coach, and I know he’s playing a big part in the plan, I’m excited.”
Obviously, running the football was a major weakness for the Cowboys for the majority of the 2024 season, with Rico Dowdle’s late-season emergence standing as the only silver lining to their rushing attack all season. So it should be no surprise that the team would look to improve that part of their offense in a big way.
Signing Sanders should help in that regard as well. While he did struggle in his time with Carolina, Sanders was one of the more effective backs in the league in his four years with the Eagles, using his ability to both run the ball and catch the ball out of the backfield to total 3,708 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground and 942 yards and three scores receiving.
