The Ohio State product said he \u201cremains dumbfounded\u201d by his lack of reps in the red zone especially.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott returned to Dallas on a one-year deal in May, hoping to become the lead workhorse in the backfield. That obviously hasn\u2019t been the case so he wanted to take things into his own hands.<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio State product has seen his snaps constantly go down. Week 1-32 snaps, Week 2-28 snaps, Week 3-15 snaps, Week 4-10 snaps, and Week 5-23 snaps.<\/p>\n<p>Over five games, he\u2019s logged 30 carries for a measly 98 rushing yards and one score. To make matters worse, Elliott is averaging 19.6 rushing yards per game. Shocked by his lack of production, Elliott decided it was time to speak with coaches but that likely won\u2019t help much.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old doesn\u2019t look like the same player and running back Rico Dowdle has picked it up lately. In the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dowdle rushed for a season-high 87 rushing yards and had 27 receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p>If someone is going to get more carries, it\u2019ll be Dowdle, not Elliott. That won\u2019t bode well for the 2016 first-round pick and his time in Dallas could be running out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This disappointing addition decided to confront the coaching staff ahead of Week 6.
