CFZ Thoughts/Opinions about this week's important matchup

[blueblood70]

Disagree, have to keep Hurts inside that pocket, getting pressure is a plus. Eagles still have a great rushing offense, Swift isn't like Pollard at all, he has big play abilities that we haven't seen Pollard have all season long.

I'm sorry I have to disagree with you Tony Pollard when used properly is exactly like swift.. Their numbers are almost identical averages yards and touchdowns and he runs behind a better offensive line in my opinion they have a better run scheme they have better blockers and yet their numbers are almost identical so wherever you get that it doesn't matter if Tony hasn't had it yet this year they're still the same player in a lot of ways... But let's just stick with production and if Tony Pollard was with the Eagles I think he be as good or better.... You gotta think about those RPO the Eagles run the way they use Hurts the way their offensive line blocks they're taking a lot of pressure off swift..

You just have to remember to keep this in mind they have a much better run blocking offensive line as well it's probably a better pass blocking offensive line from side to side and they also run RPO I've seen holes that I could run through now I wouldn't survive the tackle but I could run through it it was that big I've seen umbrella path blocking pockets it's so crazy how great their offensive line is when healthy and now you're getting the nod to swift even though he has the better offensive line and his numbers aren't better...

I haven't seen any explosiveness from Pollard this season, compared to prior years. He just isn't the same player post injury.

 

[Cowboyny]

Both their run and 3rd down percentages are a factor for this game and momentums for both sides of the field.

For me, this a focus point during the game:

The last time the Cowboys and Eagles squared off against one another in Week 9, RT Terence Steele had one of his worst performances of his entire professional career. He gave up 12 QB pressures, seven hurries, and four sacks. While he's performed much better since then, you can bet Philadelphia's going to do their best to have a repeat performance in this Week 14 grudge match. The Eagles will surely test him early and often, and if he ends up struggling, Dallas would be wise to get him a little help if/when needed. If No. 78 holds his own, Dak Prescott should shred Philadelphia's secondary.

Certainly Steele has to play better, but those interior lineman also need to have good games, especially Biaz who will also be targeted.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

All you need is a group of linebackers highlighted by Fred Warner and greenlaw to stop the eagles. Oh yeah and 2 guys like Deebo and CMC that can lineup anywhere on offense. Dallas has no guys like these 4 on the roster.

Nobody does.

The 49ers blueprint is just have the best offensive skill group in the NFL lol

 

[Cowboyny]

We just watching two different teams. The Eagles running game did nothing against us the first game. Hurts hurt us with his arm unti we started pressuring him in the 4th. Swift did nothing.

Cowboys Defense couldn't get off the field that day.

Cowboys Defense couldn't get off the field that day.

Because of Hurts 3rd down passing. Swift had 43 yards on 18 carries and fumbled twice

 

[reddyuta]

Agree with OP.If our Oline doesnt play well we are toast.

I haven't seen any explosiveness from Pollard this season, compared to prior years. He just isn't the same player post injury.

Yeah and you're missing the point he can be explosive with the right offensive line in the right play calling and taking some of the pressure off him I guarantee you Andre swift not in there as many snaps blocking and going out in fake decoy routes and staying on the field as much that is what Tony Pollard has been misused this year and yet they almost have the exact same numbers I mean that is that point go right over your head that DeAndre Swifts on a better running team and a better runs game with a better offensive line and our numbers are almost identical... He can be that explosive he's gotten better over the last three weeks he hasn't been because he's being misused in my opinion but still in the grand scheme of things they are the same player... I said it the other guy said it all you have to do is go look up the numbers they're virtually the same guy and I bet you put Pollard on that team and powered his as good or probably better than swift...

yeah he seems to be dismissing how great that offensive line is how good the RPO's are having the quarterback in the equation on the RPO's in the run game that helps DeAndre swift and yet with all that advantage d'andre swift has their numbers are virtually identical this year they're the same player they're just in different situations..

 

[maryquality]

I think we match up well against the egals. My biggest concern is will we get an "unbiased" officiating crew? I just want calls to made fairly on "both" sides!! Is that too much to ask?

NY was the first guy ripping Lewis for his coverage on Goerdert. The Eagles are a passing team now.

 

[Gambit]

Both have money FG kickers with range

We have the moniest kicker, at least on FGs

I know moniest is not a word, I'm post anesthesia right now a little slack is due

Well hopefully this game is a little different I believe Louis the last couple games seems to be getting a little bit better maybe it's more play time maybe it's comfort maybe his injuries getting better who knows.... But whatever it is let's see if Goedert uses that stiff arm again lol beware he's going to get yanked down on it so if you're gonna put it in someone's face, might get hurt,,

Not worrying about him between Martin and Smith.

I wouldn't go that far and say they're a passing team that's a little bit subjective because if you really look at it there are PO's they run the ball off from the quarterback position as many touchdowns as they score inside the five on the touch push those are all running plays it all starts with the RPO which is a run based formation that has options to throw... They are a better team when they can win the run game but I think with Hurtz being dinged up they're not running the ball as much out of the quarterback position and they haven't had a bigger running back to compensate for it but that doesn't mean hurts isn't going to get a little boost of energy because of the game being primetime for 1st place. etcetera he can bring a little extra.

You look at our offense is very similar now struggling a little bit in the run game Prescott's been carrying the team I mean something's gotta break... I sure hope Mike McCarthy at some point wakes up starts using some pro style offenses using the fullback with hunter and maybe Rico and I formations and just give a little bit more in GL and RZ and short yardage,. I hope that's part of the wrinkle he hasn't shown much and he starts using it more because it sure would help Tony Pollard in the long run....

 

[Cowboyny]

Not worrying about him between Martin and Smith.

Teams have found ways to isolate him on the Nose Tackle.

Remember their kicker made a 59 yarder against the Bills to go to OT.

He hikes the ball, he can hang. That's between him and Dak...that can be taken out before the hike.

He has gotten better, but we haven't seen many explosive plays at all, compare to last season. I do not think it's our OL, but rather him coming off of a broken leg. I would be very surprised to see him back next season.

They did get lucky on those fumbles. Yes, Hurts was excellent in moving the chains via the pass.
