How can we stop the run?

[cowboybish]

With the current team we have how can we stop the run? When we know a team has a good run game, do we move Parsons to linebacker? Would that help? Any other thoughts?

There is not enough info to guess.

Thats the problem.

Its info wars.

Suggestions can make sense but the inner circle can claim something else.

Its a losing battle.

All you can hope for is that Dallas has a plan IN THE PLAYOFFS. There are any number of excuses in regular season. In the playoffs you cant use the excuse for losing as we were not showing our full hand.

In the playoffs...teams show their full hand. You cant judge a team until the playoffs. Its a wait and see deal. Sucks.

We may need to take some OL guys and put them on the DL, we just need girth or something!!!!

Nut up and close the gaps. Need out linebackers to clean up better. It all starts with mazi and osa.

The only way we control an opponents run game is to jump out to an early lead and have them play into our strength at forcing turnovers via the passing game.

Except for the eagles loss the other teams jumped out to an early lead then ran down our throats.

No it doesn't. Stop bringing up the dts when buffalo attacked the edges. It starts with playing sound football and not Stat chasing. Who thinks mazi and osa Stat chase? We know who is doing that.

We stopped niners run game in last years playoffs by playing sound. Not because Hankins and Osa turned into a great wall.

The line has to keep the linebackers clean. That is a key component to good run defense.

How about adjusting schemes when the offense is telegraphing they will run it down your throat until the game is over. Adjusting more than 6 men in the box might help. Seriously, DQ is getting off on this. Everyone jumps down McCarthy or Jerry's throat, but either DQ thinks there is nothing they can do, or just too bull-headed to adjust.

guarantee i have the format....play constant 3-4..Mazi Smith...D-Law and Osa (3)...and Sam Williams, Rashaan Evans, Parsons, and Chauncey (4)

and regardless run or pass we kick serious butt

Bring Charles Haley, Russell Maryland, Kevin Norton and the '92 defense out from retirement.

When the runs are through the gut, sure.

- More guys near the line of scrimmage.
- parsons more ilb. Let him flow sideline to sideline. I think teams can scheme him out too easily in the edge on rushing downs
