Commanders - Is this the week Cooper goes off?

[viman96]

Commanders DL will be hard to run against and not many teams have been successful against them this year. They rank 1 spot below Dallas at stopping the run. This would be a great week for Cooper and the WR corp to have a big game.

 

[Hardline]

Yes.
Coop will kill it Thursday.

 

[Eddie]

Sua will be the difference this week in the running game.

 

[HanD]

skins secondary is solid. norman isn't what he used to be but he's still good and swearinger and dix are good safeties. SL and JG need to scheme cooper around for matchups.

 

[The Natural]

Did our QB change?

 

[jazzcat22]

It depends, who steps up for Gallup? take pressure of double team off of Cooper.

 

[Sydla]

Skins will play us the same way they did earlier. They will focus on stopping Zeke, try to pressure us with Smith and Kerrigan.

Dak has to play much better this time around.

Commanders will HAVE to play different. They can't do what they did last game with Cooper in there. If they do and our OC doesn't make them pay, he shouldn't be allowed back into the building on Friday.

Commanders are more of a man on man so expect to see Cooper matched up on Norman most of the day. Should be a good battle

So what you're saying is we don't have a chance?

They showed a stat, Norman QB passer rating against him this year is like 111.7
Norman is not what he used to be. Hopefully that continues.

They have to do no such thing until Dak proves he and Cooper can connect on deeper throws.

If you were a DC and watched Dak and Cooper the last few weeks and seen they have not been able to connect on deeper balls, why would you deviate from the plan that worked a few weeks ago?

Evidently things got heated up between Norman and Copper last time they played. Norman would later apologize for comment he made about Cooper. In that game Norman got the best of him allowing 1 catch for 6 yards. Cooper will have to fair better in this meeting

I think our oline will handle that overrated dline with ease. Zeke will run as he please.

Commanders DL is built to stop the run. They have not given up a 100 yard rushing to any RB thus far and have only allowed 1 run of 20 yards this season. I don't see Dallas just pounding the ball all day unless they are getting positive results, I think Cowboys will have to be effective in the passing game

Dak has to play much better this time around.

Daks been settling in the past 2 weeks. I think Cooper solidifying the WR group has a lot to do with that, he helps keep the defense true which opens up a lot underneath for easy throws and running lanes for Zeke. So I think the trend continues with an improving Dak! (Hopefully I’m righth!)

I see Dallas pounding the ball.

 

[Praxit]

I see Dallas pounding the ball.

Same here, Filo has added a new fold in the mix. Zeke should get his 100+ yds.

 

[zrinkill]

If by going off you mean opening things up for Zeke again ?

Then yes

If you mean having a 100+ yard day as a receiver ......... then no ........ not with this coaching staff

Basically this is what it comes down to. Swearinger was basically playing LB the entire game, with no concern on the pass.

If they still do that, you've got 2 WRs in man coverage on every single play.
