A healthy rested Zeke is dangerous and Seattle knows it. Just listened to few shows mentioning Seattle will go to an extreme degree (9 man boxes if needed) to stop Zeke. This is Dak moment to shine. If he looks pressure in the face and calmly delivers a win then I think Dallas is on their way to being SB contender over next few seasons and Dak should get extension after season.

However, if some of those Dak pick-6 throws aren't dropped by defenders and Wilson grossly out-shines him I think there will be fire storm of criticism that will last entire off season. For our mental health perspective Dallas needs to win this game.

NO Dallas is NOT a SB contender. That is probably next year.

On the contrary it is the DEFENSE that is the one that has to stop Wilson. That is the big challenge of this game. If they cant control Wilson and especially late in the game, we will lose.

The bigger concern is the Seahags dirty offensive passing illegal picks. They do that every game, all game long, and the officials hardly ever flag them for it.

Remember, I called it.
Dang, I forgot about those plays and Troy always points that out. Hope our wonderful coaches get in the refs ear early on that.

No way they send 9 guys, with Jarwin starting to develoo as a weapon, Beasley waking up from his low production.
Not to mention that leaves 2 guys defending 4?
Ain't gonna happen.
Would love for it to happen................but it's not.

The breakdown video of how Cooper made the Cowboys offense better, shows how Seattle in week 3, played the Cowboys aggressive, because they didn't fear a Cowboys WR from beating them deep or for big yards. But, Cooper changed that. So Seattle can try and stack the box or play aggressive on Defense, but if the Cowboys find a way to counter that. Seattle's D is risk getting burned by Cooper. Not to mention how Gallup has gotten better since that game of burning DBs. So, Seattle will be taking a risk, by playing aggressive Defense, if they leave plays open where their secondary can get burned.

Also I think Seahawks will have a spy on Dak. They know its like taking on Russell Wilson himself if he runs. Also worry about those counters against play action when Dak fakes to RB and runs to his right. He gets hammered if the DE is not fooled by that run.



Ya but will Dak run? He hesitant at times.

Seahags would be making a grave mistake if they line up 9 defenders in the box. Dak, Amari, Beasley and Gallup will make them pay dearly.

Dak got Jarwin involved in the Offense just in time for the playoffs. As Cowboys fan 80 said in this video, it's like pick your poison. So, if a D focuses everything on stopping Zeke, then it leaves Cooper open to burn them. If they double Cooper, it leaves Gallup/Beasley/Jarwin to be able to have one on one coverage. Also there was mention of how Tavon Austin could be used as an affective weapon also.

Cowboys offense can actually be dangerous if they ever find a way to click on all calendars.

LOL 9 man box. Exactly how many defenders do they have? Even when they're home the 12th man doesn't actually play. Unless they intend to cover two WRs with one defensive back they're not putting 9 in the box.

Putting 9 man boxes on Zeke, and leaving two defenders in coverage, is just asking for your Defense to eventually get burned on a pass. lol

I'll say it again. Do you really think the team should make decisions about extending Dak based on one game rather than 51 games?

Linehan better unleash Dak if Seattle goes 8-9 guys in the box. In the first Washington game the Skins sold out to stop the run and Linehan kept running Zek right into it.

Don’t be stupid this game. Throw the dam ball if they stack the box.

One thing we seldom do is max protect, TE and Zek block with 3 receivers in the pattern. Let receivers do double/triple move and go long. Give Dak a clean pocket and time to unleash the bomb!

100% agree! This game is on Dak and Linehan both...to exploit all the 9-man boxes. We got Coop, an emerging TE, and a couple of young WRs who want to make plays. Time to make it happen....

SEA will NOT go 9 in box to stop Zeke except on short yardage and red zone.
DAL is a different offense with Cooper. And Gallup and Jarwin are both better players than in week 3.
Zeke ran for 127 yards in week 3 and we scored 13 points. SEA isn't stupid enough to think limiting Zeke but giving us passing is smart.

There's been 8-9 all season and he still won the rushing title with only 15 games in the books. Block'em up and run the dang ball!!!!

Based on 1 game rather than 51? lol

You really must dislike Dak to come up with that remark.
