Does Miami DC Vic Fangio still have the blueprint to shut down the Cowboys?

Disagree, yes, there are variations to each scheme, but they have the same principals. Generate pressure without the blitz, play shell coverage, keep everything in front of them, force QB's to make throws into tight windows. Saleh's defense has been terrific since he got there, they have played pretty well this season despite having nothing on offense.
Saleh is not a disciple of Vic Fangio. Saleh came up under the Pete Carroll defensive lineage.

To beat the Cowboys shut down the run, force 3rd and long, play zone, pressure Dak, watch deer in headlights get happy feet and miss wide open targets.

Offensively run the ball, take away the pass rush and watch our defense lose interest. Our boys don’t like smash mouth football, they prefer a seven on seven drill flag football style. Wish they’d price me wrong but I’ve seen it too many times.

If only Dak had the game to go with the mouth. Please proof me wrong….7+years running.
