Belichick is going to take away Gallup with the twins, lock Gilmore on Cooper, and tell Dak to beat them in the air with Witten and Cobb. Boy Genius and the Clapper will oblige.
Belichick is going to line up in the I formation and play a controlled power rush game with Tom throwing to the RBs and TE, gimmick Elderman at QB and run the spread on some plays and run the two back with Michel and Harrison/Burkhead. The Cowboys LBs have played poorly vs. the run and single coverage vs. RBs and TEs this year.
He is going to trust that the Cowboys coaches will not adjust by using Elliott and Pollard on consecutive plays via run and pass which has hampered Elliott to get going. This is something in 2019 the Cowboys have not done.
I agree. Bellichick will have a plan like this, and our coaches will have a plan for that. It will be effective for a couple of series, but then Belly will adapt, and our coaches won’t. They’ll get TDs, while we get FGs.
I find it kinda funny that a few weeks ago, all we heard is “The GOAT, the greatest coach, and the greatest defense of all time!” Now that they’re playing Dallas, all the pundits say is “The Patriots aren’t the same!” Maybe not, but we still have Garrett, and I bet the Pats will play like they did against the Steelers.
