Default To blitz or not to blitz Griffin today....

If you follow Bryan Broaddus on twitter, you know he's been telling us all week the Cowboys intend to bring the heat on Griffin today. Despite his success so far against the blitz. He's mentioned it so many times that I don't know if he's really trying to drive the point home as what we will in fact see, or if he's floating some misinformation out there for the good of the team.

My question is do you like the idea of aggressively coming after Griffin in this game?

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

Hard to say. He's been good against the blitz thus far this year but I hate letting any QB just sit back there and have time to decide where he wants to go with it.

Which also gives him time to decide he'll take off and run when everyone else is busy covering.


This is a tough match up I believe.

Ryan rarely blitzes, I don't think he will start today.
"Maybe next year!!" We have been saying this phrase WAYYYYY too long!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see a few corner/safety blitz getting put in there. Just a little something to disrupt Griffin.

Anything but a three man rush.

For me, I want to stop the QB runs more than I would worry about the passing game. I'll take my chances with him in the pocket rather than giving up cheap yards with him running.

I say go get him. Our corners can handle it.

This is what I'm thinking. I don't think were gonna be blitz happy I just think were gonna try and confuse him and give some different looks. I think we will blitz some but I think it's gonna be a lot of disguiseing and trying to confuse rather then all out blitzes all the time.

We bring the pressure. If the rookie hurts us a couple times, well, we adjust and go with gameplan B, There is a plan B, right Rob?

Good question. RG3 seems to do well against the blitz, making it a risky call. Perhaps the Cowboys will do a bit more of variety on who will be the 4th rusher. Looking at their stats and their WR corps, maybe doubling Moss and going for a steady 4 man rush might be the best choice.

Garcon is finally healthy and figures to be the main cog in their passing offense going forward.

Still, their passing game doesn't concern me. Their QB running for huge chunks of yards does.
