Slingin' Cowboys? They've got work to do on paltry pass game

Running back Ezekiel Elliott doesn't think a demand for more carries is the answer for what ails a Dallas offense that's threatening to derail the Cowboys' season early. The underlying message of Linehan's thinking is that the Cowboys (1-2) need to loosen up as they try again to bounce back from a rough road showing when Detroit (1-2) visits Sunday. ''I think our guys just need to just basically take the weight of the world off their shoulders and go out and play,'' Linehan said Thursday.
