Game Day *** Cowboys vs Vikings 2nd Half game thread ***

[KingintheNorth]

Watching the half-time highlights, what an impact Minkah Fitzpatrick has had for the Steelers. They were dead in the water before he got there. 4 INTs and 2 defensive TD's so far. Jamal Adams was a beast today as well.

The next time someone makes a playmaking safety available, please go get him. And yes I realize the Jets were asking too much, but be aggressive and creative and find a suitable midpoint.

If we keep our 1st and Grant Delpit is within reach, go get him. He's another Derwin James.

I want restate again how absolutely useless Jaylon Smith is trying to tackle in space.

When you’re a linebacker and you’re flailing arms spread open and barely getting a hand in the ball carrier running past you, you’re a liability.

He’s no worse than LVE who is whiffing left and right tonight.

Our LBs are pretty crappy given the hype.

 

[TheHerd]

NFC East, yes. NFC, hell no.

I wouldn't count on the East. Ate you watching this team?

 

[dfense]

So then Heath isn't the problem.

You aren't too bright.

I thought that to when I read that. Nothing like contradicting yourself.

 

[gmb1]

Didnt Dak say we could beat anybody?

He needs to tell that message to the rest of the team especially the defense

 

[texbumthelife]

Screens are hurting. Not just this game imo either.

Quite odd too with the attributes of our personel. (Fast sideline to sideline linebackers), but our Corners seem to be getting man handled.

Minnesota is doing a great job of mixing things up tho too.

They're running screens off misdirection. This team gets gashed by misdirection. All that speed just gets them out of position faster.

 

[HoplessCowboysFan36]

I used to be real big on Chido. Hes just a liability now.

 

[Doomsay]

if only I got paid a dollar everytime I heard that statement. I would be a very rich man. I would probably buy the cowboys lol

You mean, short the position

 

[khiladi]

Kellen Moore basically started having Dak attack deep on the outside in man coverage to open things up.

If anybody doesn’t think Zeke isn’t influencing thus game, they don’t know football.

The Vikings are playing for Dak to beat them.

 

[CWR]

Have to start hitting Cousins. The pressure has been there at times, but Cousins is getting the ball out fast

Hes past due to do something stupid. Lets go get a pic to start the 3rd.

Yep, it's so true....no way a team at home should come out this flat consistently. I swear he must tell them before they leave the tunnel, "Don't do anything to lose the game. Don't be the one to cost us." Because they play so conservative in every 1st quarter.

 

[Bigdog]

Please Garrett, make adjustments and come out strong..........pleeaassee?

That is asking a lot.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Didn't seem like lat year the screens were a problem. With LVE and Jaylon....yeah its shocking screen passes are where they are struggling this year.

Hate to see what NE does to us if we don't manage to get that fixed.

 

[ghst187]

garrett team wasn't prepared to start the game.

His seat got cool...this is what happens every season.
We look atrocious and lose some awful games, folks start talking about JG getting canned, we come out and play great for a game or two, the talk goes away, we come out and look like hot garbage. Rinse, repeat...and underachieve, get outcoached in the playoffs if we make it....

 

[Sydla]

All over the place doesn’t mean jack squat... the Vikings have picked apart the over aggressive Cowboys defense on the outside. If anything the other guys on the line are doing better at shoring up the interior.

LOL.

He’s been disruptive and also been solid in the run game.

You guys and your Lawrence bitterness.

 

[Turkish-Cowboy]

We have the "so-called" best LB duos but we gave up short passes up the middle one after another all night. Who is blind? Our coaches or the LBs?

 

[KJJ]

Well one was 26 yards from the center of the field. The other was 57 yards

Maher isn’t exactly money from short range.

 

[glimmerman]

Let’s roll Dak out and or let him run with it once or twice. Run a toss or sweep to Elliot instead of up the middle every time. And get the ball to Jarwin.

 

[Gaede]

Dak is the only reason we're in this.

Want to see more creativity from the O.

 

[Yobwocs]

It’s not very difficult to see that they pretty much have one safety in the back and man on the outside. Even Chris Collinsworth is basically pointing it out.

The only thing the Vikings do is stack the line showing run, but drop men in zone in the middle of the field. On the outside it’s pretty much man.

Yes, they changed their defense once they found out our offense was getting in a groove. It's logical.

Even though it's one-man coverage on the outside, a QB still has to make those plays, and he's been making them. But I saw some strong throws through the middle and that fade to Gallup.

He's been great so far in this game. Give up the hot takes.
