> **FRISCO, Texas** — Owners of the No. 1 offense in the entire NFL in most major categories, the Dallas Cowboys can thank several people for that being the case, from All-Pro Dak Prescott playing at an MVP level to head coach Brian Schottenheimer modernizing the playcalling as he initially promised to, but make sure you add offensive coordinator Klayton Adams to that list.

> Adams joined the Cowboys as one of Schottenheimer’s first hires, and to much fanfare, considering he’s one of the most heralded offensive line coaches in the league, for the Arizona Cardinals, before being wooed away to Dallas.
>
> “I think there’s probably some personality similarities,” Adams said of his relationship with Schottenheimer, who reached out to others to inquire about Adams before giving him a call. “I think, away from football, we’re the type of guys that would probably hang out and do things together. I think there’s probably also some good complementary skill sets.

> “I know that there’s things that he does that I look at and I go, ‘Gosh, I wish I was a little bit more that way.’ … So that was one thing that was really good about it for me.”
>
> The football marriage is off to a roaring start, to say the very least. Heading into their Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, the Cowboys own one of, and in some instances, the best rushing attack(s) in the entire league.
>
> Javonte Williams is having a resurgent season under the four-pack of coaches, inclusive of offensive line coach Conor Riley, assistant OL coach Ramon Chinyoung Sr. and running backs coach Derrick Foster — Williams being tied for second-most rushing touchdowns (5) and for fourth-most yards per carry (5.7), also ranked third in total rushing yards (447).

> When Adams arrived in Dallas, he set forth an edict that dictated the Cowboys’ rushing attack “[create violence in the game](https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/physical-violent-mantra-for-o-line-running-backs-taking-center-stage-for-cowboys), be aggressive, run and hit”. Williams and the offensive line, even when four starters were sidelined with injury, are manifesting his mantra in a major way; but Adams sees it a bit differently, though.
