Baldinger: I don't believe in Cowboys, Giants will control the line of scrimmage

[Risen Star]

Keep in mind their entire defense will be tough and violent too.

Add to that losing Tyler Smith and now Malik Davis. Things are going south in a hurry.

And when Dallas beats them handily

Then it’ll be “oh it was just the giants”

 

[Rayman70]

We won't beat them running up the gut. They are too stout. But we can challenge their cb's with passing often. That should open up the run attack off tackle. Screen game will be there for the asking. Use their aggression against them.

The Cowboys had 135 & 143 yards rushing vs the giants last year. They have traded away their best DT (Dexter Lawrence) and replaced him with a lesser run stopper off the street. Their interior DL are DJ Reader, Shelby Harris, and ex cowboy Chauncey Golston. Why the heck would you think they can't run up the gut?

If the offensive line is bad, it may happen easily. The Giants front is pretty nasty.

Dexter Lawrence is no longer a Giant

 

[Coogiguy03]

Yup.

Guyton had a 49 PFF pass block rating.

It's going to be hard to try to get our WRs off and playing well if we can't block

That may help

Shelby Harris. DJ Reader are improvements. That's why. This particular HC prides himself on stopping the run. I believe they will be overly aggressive and we should counter that aggression with rb screens often. I think we can hurt them more in the air than running. Giants will be improved. But I think we will win the game.

How are they stout up the middle? They have one dt that's done anything in the league.

But anyway, I'm glad some media is fawning over us. Got tired of the Cowboys hype.

sounds like you might be leaning toward a loss in this one pal.

K...he wasn't all world anyway. I believe the two interior dts they have are better players. Especially Harris.
