#Cowboys OC Klayton Adams addresses the failure of the Dallas run game. The team is 30th in rushing yards per game at 81 Via @WerderEdNFL on X

What happened: Dallas offensive coordinator Klayton Adams said the offense has to develop an identity and is still searching for it. Dallas averages 81.6 rushing yards per game, ahead of only Green Bay and Tennessee.

Why it matters: Limited rushing production narrows offensive balance and short-yardage options. It also increases pressure on the passing game to sustain drives.

By the numbers: Dallas 81.6 rushing yards per game, 30th in NFL; 125.6 last season; Green Bay and Tennessee rank below Dallas.

What to watch: Dallas's coming practices and game plans will show whether scheme or personnel changes lift output.
