they have a big line and he is a great player. Most teams dont have the olb's we have.

He is going to make some plays no matter what we do.

I am curious on the flip side of this, what are romo's numbers against cover 2 defenses.

 

[JonJon]

He also had 63 yards against the Cowboys back in 2007. I'm not impressed.

 

[speedkilz88]

Adrian Peterson had 63 yards against the Cowboys his rookie season. Huge hold on his td run which wasn't called too by the way.

 

[speedkilz88]

69 yards against the Steelers this year.

97 yards against the Packers this year.

19 yards against the Cardinals this year.

Tavaris Jackson was horrible that day so Dallas didn't have to honor the pass.

 

[poost]

The Vikings lost their identity this year. It's favre's team now. They are the 2007 Dallas cowboys. We win a close one.

 

[JonJon]

Tavaris Jackson was horrible that day so Dallas didn't have to honor the pass.

Our defense also wasn't as good that year as it is now.

 

[warrior43]

Just this year in games which he didnt do amazing against a 3-4

2 games vs. the packers 1st game 55 yds but the second 97 yds

Against the steelers he had 69 yds

I think the cardinals run a 3-4 he ran for 19 yards on 13 carriers

Thats all i came up with

bring on purple jesus, you can count on him to fumble at least once in the game.

Our defense is the real deal. God I love saying that.

I agree with this man . well said

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I think Dallas is bigger and more physical than most defenses.

Did you watch the game, or just read the stat line?

Peterson wasn't even the full time back that game.. they stubbornly kept taking him out of the game and subbing Taylor.

 

[Doomsday101]

Tavaris Jackson was horrible that day so Dallas didn't have to honor the pass.

Dallas also has different players in the lineup than we did that season.

 

[JonJon]

Yes I remember the game and he wasn't exactly "ripping us a new one" either. The one big run that he had should have been called back.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

He's had some great games against 3-4's and he's also had some real clunkers against them. That isn't much different than you'd find against 4-3's I'd imagine.

He's a great player and it's key to shut him down but I believe we can do that.

True looking at his numbers he has had some good games vs both the 3-4 and the 4-3 and has had some bad games as well. He also has lost 6 fumbles this season more than any other RB

They can confidently state anything they want. None of these games are played on paper. Anything can happen, that is why they play the games.

P.S. - Adrian Peterson hasn't played against THIS defense.
