Commanders Week. What matchups are you looking forward to?

[Texas_Pete]

I'm looking forward to the below matchups:

1) Dez vs Norman. Both had poor week 1 showings. I think Norman will shadow Dez all night. Linehan will look for ways to get Dez open early and often.

2) Byron Jones vs Jordan Reed. Byron been practicing vs Witten and has learned a lot from the HOFer. He's easily our most versatile defender. Reed is probably a top 5 receiving TE.

3) Mo vs DeSean Jackson. Mo had a good 1st week. He helped our secondary hold Eli to 207 yards. Jackson is always a threat vs us.

These are some of the matchups that will determine who wins. What matchups are you looking forward to Zoners?

None on defense. Just like last week, I dont like our lack of pressure and their receivers against our secondary.

 

[VACowboy]

Our running game vs. their front-7.

 

[The Natural]

my gut is saying we get punked in all those matchups you highlighted, but I guess I'm looking forward to seeing our offensive line against their d-line. they need to rebound after that pathetic showing last week

 

[Risen Star]

None on defense. Just like last week, I dont like our lack of pressure and their receivers against our secondary.

I kind of tune out when the defense is on the field. It's embarrassing to see that kind of slop playing for this once great franchise.

Does it remind you of Arena Football ?

 

[CowboyChris]

there is only one matchup everyone is going to be watching closely, how Dak performs in week 2

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

The matchup of beer vs my lips.

 

[Jinxx13x]

I hope dez is moved away from Norman TBH it's about matchup' not proving he's better.

Morris and EE And the entire run game

Dak another effecient game which turns into a W

I also want cousins blitzed, pressured and hit

With our anemic pass rush our secondary will be tested, big time.
I think Cousins will go airborne more than ever, and that is not good.
Safeties need to avoid the blitz and shore up the flat and long ball defense.
Worst case scenario: the ***skins use a 2 TE aligmment, making our awful corners to go one on one with their WRs. Disaster!
Don't get cute, coaches. Safeties and LBs should hang back, all day long.

 

[Zordon]

I'd love to see 8 rec/90+ yds/1 td from Dez but I'm not hopeful.

I bet we get a lot of yapping with Norman and more frustration on the sidelines. A team cannot continue to lose for two straight seasons without this powder keg exploding. It starts this weekend.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

The only match-ups I care to watch are the ones that earn a victory.

A blitz would make them happy. Do you realize how bad our secondary is already?

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I'm more interested in our DL and LB corps. I'm higher then most with our defense but our front 7 has to do better including Lee.

I'm also watching OL against Washington front 7. We should bully them with our running game.

Coaches need to do a better job with play calling. Stop playing not to lose and play to win. If they stack the box make them pay in the passing game. Same thing last season guys open downfield but we are going short passing game.

Matter of fact I want the coaches to think it's preseason and call plays like we did in those games. Dak has a arm, let him throw

I would like to see a Dallas LB not named Lee do something this week !!!

 

[CowboyChris]

not one mention of Zeke...my my (guilty also)

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Also (a forum bro mentioned it Monday), a tandem system with Morris and Zeke would be nice, for a change of pace and to tire out their defence.

I believe cousins makes mistakes when he is under duress he panicked when we played him that way last year and we beat them. I don't believe the secondary is as bad as everyone makes it seem to be ! But that is my opinion I am sure you and several others feel differently

Good thread, bloke! This is the type of thread that gets the old juices flowing!

Blimey !!! I have to agree with you on that point !!!!
