The leading projections forecast the Dallas Cowboys offensive scheme to tilt 5.7% more towards the passing game than it did last season (in a neutral context) with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer now calling the plays.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may decline.Tony Pollard has been used more as a potential target this year (56.3% Route% in games he has played) than he did last year (44.3%).In this week's game, Tony Pollard is projected by our trusted projection set to position himself in the 79th percentile among running backs with 3.9 targets.When it comes to air yards, Tony Pollard ranks in the towering 79th percentile among running backs this year, averaging a monstrous 1.0 per game. (due to most of their targets being behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more remarkable than it sounds since most RBs average negative air yards).
