My game plan to win is that Denver has a novice coach and I would throw every trick play imaginable at the Broncos on offense.

I would make Von Miller & Shane Ray have to cover and play the run by targeting them because all they want to do is rush the passer.

The Broncos corners are praised as so good. I would test them because I don't believe the hype. Talib is slow,Harris is soft and Roby to me is OK.

The Broncos WRs are soft. Demarious Thomas has never been the same since Kam Chancellor lit him up in the Super Bowl.DO IT AGAIN!!! Same with Sanders and their 3rd WR who has good routes but average speed.

Broncos O-line is notorious for being finesse except for new addition Ron Leary. I would have Leary have to take on a Boys player he doesn;t know ,that's Taco Charlton,Jaylon Smith, & Stephen Paea.

Garrett Bolles is talented but he is a rookie I would have Demarucus Lawrence,Maliek Collins, and Sean Lee crowding him talking crap getting in his head of who is coming for him.


Trevor Simieon I would be making him move and throwing blitzes at him all game. he is going to hit the ground the whole game.make his life a nightmare


Basically be physical with the Broncos because they are a wannabe West Coast Hollywood team. Be the Steelers or Ravens to them which they have a hard time with constantly.


What's your Gameplan???

Denver also is the place where Cowboy players go to retire.

Leary is currently in concussion protocol.

Run right at Von Miller early and often. Use Zeke to chip him on pass plays. Play action to his side. Wear him down.

Defensively, just like the Giants. Similar offenses with similar problems. Let Awuzie handle Thomas like he did Marshall.

I think 1st off it is important to win those 1st down battles, keep Denver and Siemian in 2nd\3rd and long. force them to pass. Stopping CJ Anderson is the key. Offensively run the ball, Denver had a tough time on some outside runs, I think Dallas can exploit that much better than LAC and Gordon did. Cowboys it was reported were running schemes with Beasley and Switzer together in OTA and early on in training camp, might be a good time to bring it to the field, Denver blitz looked pretty good and those quick hitters with Beasley and Switzer could be a very good way to counter that.

Stop the run, they are a dink and donk offense, if Dallas can put them in 3rd and long it is going to be a long day for their offense.

On offense Dallas needs to be ready for the crowd noise and blitzes. The Chargers ran the ball really well early on, than Denver started to run blitz with their safeties. It took the Chargers 3 1/2 quarters to make them pay with Benjamin.

Run run run.

Run time off the clock. Control the game. Most importantly reduce the number of plays - particularly for the defense to reduce the effects of altitude.

The Cowboys tend to struggle against the 3-4; part of it is the inherent disguise to their blitz, the other part stems from the struggles of diagnosing where the underneath coverage will be coming from among the linebackers presnap. One way the Cowboys could offset that issue is through a steady dose of RPO (Run-Pass Option). Rather than making presnap adjustments, Dak would be using postsnap adjustments and force the Broncos defense to show their hand before Dak decides what he does with the ball (hand it off, keep it, throw it).

I'm not saying they should operate in that offense exclusively; far from it. But, using it from time to time would be a great way to keep the Broncos defense off balance.

The Cowboys defensive gameplan for the most part will be the same all year. Shut down the run, first and foremost. Force the opposition to rely on their passing game to keep pace with the Cowboys high-powered offense. Take the ball away and give that high-powered offense more opportunities to score.

Their front 7 is not an impressive run stopping front. I would as others have pointed out run at them repeatedly. Use play action often to slow down the rush and keep the underneath coverage out of their drops.

On offense that matchup of DLaw on Watson is ideal. He is as bad or worse than the Giants OT. The LT is a rookie and the interior is not that talented without Leary. Iso DLaw on Watson and run stunts at the weakside to test how well they work together.

Their middle coverage is not that special either. Work Beasley and Witten as well as putting Dez in the slot.

Score TDs and just keep stringing them up. Force that unproven QB they have to keep up. He will become a turnover machine by the 4th qtr. Their weakness on defense is stopping the run game which plays to our strength. I expect a big day for Zeke or who ever they start at RB.

We do? We were fine against SF, Bal, and Pitt last year.

Yep, the Broncos offensive line is just like the Giants, especially without Leary. I see more pressure from the pass rush this week.

Did I really just write that?

Notoriously, we do.

Are you assuming that since the Cowboys won, that they don't still struggle against the 3-4? SF is SF; they aren't very good, regardless of scheme. The Ravens game was close; 10 of the Cowboys 10 point lead in the end came from the fourth quarter. Against the Steelers, the Cowboys took the lead with 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Just because the Cowboys won, doesn't mean they don't tend to struggle.

But, again, that has been my observation.
