Well any hopes I had got dashed when I found out Taylor Moton won’t even play. 

Damn it. I was leery about his durability going forward because he is getting older. So now what? Not Nijman, he is like our Zavala of tackles.

Their defense is on track to be worse than ours last year. Their run D is in the bottom half but their pass D is horrible. 
 

32nd overall D, 32nd passD, 23rd rush D

We are going to have to throw the ball against them, which means down field where they are vulnerable. Problem is Turnover Fred struggles to push the ball down the field and we have the 26th ranked pass offense. Running will help but will have to beat them through the air.

On the flip side, Dallas’ offense is awesome. 
 

1st overall, 3rd pass, 8th run. 
 

But Evero’s defense is ranked 12th right now with the pass D around 10th and rush D around 14th. 
 

If we can take care of the football (looking at Bryce) and we make plays down the field (also looking at Bryce) we can win, yes.

 

Look at who they’ve played

Moton being out certainly hurts but the hit dog mentality is tiring. Guys on other teams get hurt too. We're at home. If this team is ever going to emerge as any kind of contender they need to overcome adversity.

The other subs have been pretty good. 
It’s Nijman. That portends jailbreaks.

The optimist in me says he can't be much worse than some of the other turnstiles we've started at tackle over the years. But the pessimist says expect pain.

Either way I have low expectations for our passing offense.

Yeah that definitely brings familiar images to mind. Jr likes to exit the the pocket stage right it is a roadmap to dysfunction. Run run run and then run some more

Well we know why he rolls out. But with 34 games worth of tape out there for defenses to chew on it's not fooling anyone anymore. They expect it and react accordingly. And lately whenever he immediately bails from the pocket it just ends up with him putting the ball on the ground. If he struggles to protect the football again in a game with sloppy weather conditions they need to do what's best for the team.

You know the Bryce stans are banging out their bullet points of excuses already

Like I said. Run run run and then run it again. 
maybe we can be  like whatever game it was last year where he didn’t do poo all game until the end and then he made a play or two- wasn’t much but it was enough.

The winds might actually push the ball more accurately into the recievers hands

Need it blowing onto the field from the left sideline. 
wonder if we could get it to change when the quarter changes.
