Exactly ! ! ! !Both these teams are built to win. Can you imagine if the Cowboys had a running game as good as either one of these teams? GB made it strictly on their running game. Their defense didn’t come together until late in the year. They beat Dallas with their running game.
But you also have to be able to stop the run. MM must focus on the big 3:
1. Get a running game
2. Stop the oppositions running game
3. Hire a bad *** Defensive Coordinator.
For all you that say a running game doesn’t matter and it’s all on the QB,
Cowboys of the 70s/90s could run the ball. Anything the Jimmy Johnson team wanted to run the lead draw, they could. Opposing teams didn't stop it.
Since week 13, the Cowboys were 31st in stopping opposing teams to run. That is second to last. Can't have a team that only feeds off turnovers.
Run the damn ball----stop the run have been the MAIN ingredient winning in the playoffs since football started
