Chances against the Cowboys

[DIO84]

It's gonna be like 52-27 them.  Daks gonna throw all over us.

I cant see a game where there will be under 35 points against, so are the O up for it? Doubt it.

So is that three starting OLinemen out?

Good god, we're going to bump up Dallas' defensive numbers tonight.

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.

 

I think Rico and Etienne will keep them more than honest. Sure, we'll have to air it out some, but balance is the key. The goal is to run and keep their offense off the field. If we get into a virtual shootout, we probably won't like the results.

The defense is going to have to bring their lunch pails today. The line, backers and defensive backfield will have to look similar to last week.

Still looks like light rain and wind throughout the game today, I almost made the call last night to make the drive but glad I didnt

Yeah the hourly forecast looks wetter now than yesterday’s.  But no 100% so maybe it’ll be off and on a little.

Defense has to shut down their passing attack and force them to run the ball or make them throw short and tackle.

Offensively, Bryce has to play more consistently from the first snap and not lose the game for us.  

Yeah, giving up 10 points to every team before we decide to play is a recipe for disaster.  Dallas gets 10 points on use we won't come back.
