Just going to drop these here and let the story tell itself. 

Carolina this season has is on pace to have the best run defense in NFL history by a wide margin, allowing a mere 45 rush yards per game and 2.6 yards a carry. Which in turn has forced teams to rely purely on the passing game against them and their ferocious pass rush.

Dak Prescott since 2017 is 13-21 when throwing more than 30 times in a game and is 6-16 in the same time frame when his RBs go under 100 yards. 

TV channel will go blue Jan. 21 by airing nine hours of Cowboys as a consolation prize

Our defense is on pace to be "the greatest NFL defense of all time" statwise, across the board.  I don't expect that to hold all season long, but man is this group special.  I really hope our defense puts up some significant stats against the Cowboys high powered offense. 

I cannot see how our defense wouldn't show out on Sunday because if it's not our defense, then it says a whole lot about how brutally awful the past 3 teams are - as in all 3 being the worst offenses in the history of the NFL.  I just don't think you get 3 historically bad offenses from 3 different teams in the same season.

Worth noting the Saints average 33 points a game this season when not playing the Carolina Panthers.

Haven't you heard?  Kamara forgot how to run and  the Saints OL forgot how to block during our game and didn't have the the defensive assistant coaches there to remind them how.  Poor sobs.

Any thoughts on how we're able to shut down the running game? Is it the d-line (I've seen Burns and Reddick very involved in run D rather than just existing as pass rush specialists), is Brown that good at clogging up the middle? Are our LBs playing like the second coming of the Three Horsemen (Luke, Davis and Thompson)? Big support from DBs and safeties?

Or is it just an overall explosion of motivation? The entire defense seems to take this personal that they will own the field. There are so many of them in on every tackle, very little standing around and being out of place. Playing with drive and desire.

Dang, this iteration of the Panthers has been long awaited!

I'm looking for Dallas to run a lot of 12 personnel. They tend to spread you out and go empty with it. 

Do the TE's stay in and block or usually run routes? 

Against us, I'd guess they are probably better off as receivers with the hopes Dak gets the ball out with a free runner in his face.  When we rush 4, there are typically at least a couple blockers just doing nothing, so extra blockers won't help them as much as more targets.

There's a good video floating around here on our run defense.  Has to do with how they line up and how they react to what the oline is doing.  As far as I can tell, it's a combination of scheme and the players going all in, even CB's.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
