Dallas Cowboys: Offensive keys to beating the Cardinals
https://thelandryhat.com/2017/09/22/dallas-cowboys-keys-beating-cardinals/



...The Cardinals’ Defensive Philosophy
For the last few years, the have Cardinals run a hybrid 3-4 defense. This is the same style that the Denver Broncos run and has given Dallas issues in the past.

They line up with three, bigger, defensive lineman, responsible for clogging up the run game, and four linebackers, two of which rush the passer on the outside.

In the secondary, they predominantly play man-coverage, another style that causes issues for Dallas. They have two of the best defensive backs in the NFL, in Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu, the former who is exceptional at taking away the other team’s best receiver, and the later who seems to be a magnet for turnovers...

...Overall, this is a game the Dallas Cowboys’ offense should be successful in. Dallas has the weapons to attack this defense and put up points. It’ll be a benchmark to see where the offense stands after three weeks, and will provide clarity on how good they can be in 2017.

so, this sounds like AZ is set up to play well against the Dallas O...and then, the "overall" goes the other way....what????

Dallas offensive success:
1) score more points than your defense gives up
2) don't give points away (see: pick-6 v. Denver)

Why can't we make the big unatletic guys in the middle run a lot to sidelines by streach or toss plays? That should give advantage to dallas right?

Now you know that's not Garrett and Linehans philosophy. Let not hurt the opposing teams feelings and exploit weakness! We must chess match it and beat them at their own game!

It would be nice to see the Cowboys use the Run game as a weapon using tosses and sweeps to Patrick Petersons side allowing Dez to maul him in the Run game only to burn him on play action later.

The biggest thing for us is to get Zeke going again.

Absolutely. I prefer us to defer to the half. Make a defensive stop and roll.

This 3 & out to start the game is not good for morale

I wouldn't mind that either. That's why I won't even be upset if we lose the toss.
