00:00running back specter. You mentioned Chase Brown. His

00:05production has been there but just a part of the offense

00:08overall for Cincinnati. The Cowboys had struggled to run

00:12the football all season long except for the last two weeks

00:16in their two consecutive wins. Rico Dattle 86 yards against

00:20the commanders last week on Thanksgiving against the

00:23Giants. 112 yards and a score. Will Rico Dattle continue that

00:28production for Dallas tonight? I think he'll be good but not

00:33great and you know like you said, we're going up against

00:35the Giants and the commanders of the past two weeks for him

00:38like we have to take that with a bit of a grain of salt and

00:40you know what at face value, the Bengals rush defense doesn't

00:43look great, but if you actually break it down by position, the

00:46rushing yards that they actually allowed, they've

00:47allowed 1094 rushing yards specifically to running backs.

00:51That's actually the eighth fewest in the league. There's

00:52a lot of rushing yards that they allowed to opposing

00:54quarterbacks. So if you just look at their rushing yards

00:56per game, it actually doesn't tell the whole story. So I

00:59think Rico Dattle is absolutely taking control of the

01:02backfield. We don't have to worry about Zeke. We don't have

01:03to worry about Deuce Vaughn, but I actually like him under

01:0568 and a half rushing yards because the Bengals rush

01:08defense is actually a little bit better than people realize.

01:10I'm not saying it's amazing. I'm not saying it's one of the

01:12top units in the league, but it's actually better than some

01:14people realize. So I actually like the under four Dattle

01:17tonight and I want to see some more Cowboys receivers get

01:20involved. Remember that they activated Brandon Cooks a

01:23couple weeks ago. He's back in Jake Ferguson is back tonight.

01:25I want to see some passing tonight.
