I disagree. I think McDaniels will scheme the Cowboys similarly to how the 07 Pats did, they flooded the middle of the field w/lots of zones and kept Witten bottled up. This forces the Cowboys to either run w/success on the edges or test the Bronc's very good corners vertically.
This will be no walk in the park for either offense.
Of all the healthy defenses out there right now, Dallas, Baltimore, and NY are probably the top 3 you don't want to be missing two of your starting offensive lineman against. I'm expecting to see Denver in a lot of 3rd and 8's with passes two yards short of the first down marker.
J-Rat is going to have himself a great day if their back-up interior o-lineman so much as blinks at the wrong time.
One of the Broncos interlopers mentioned in response to the fact that Oakland and Cleveland were getting good holes at the LOS but couldn't get downfield blocks and attributed that to the defensive play. No, that's the inability of the offense to get any kind of blocks downfield. Tight ends, full backs, and pulling offensive lineman not doing their job is why big holes at the LOS did not translate to good runs past the linebackers.
It's also a reason why Cleveland and Oakland are so very poor on offense.
Now as far as the ***** who thinks NY has a bad defense because of their ranking, seriously start watching football other than the AFC. That's all I can say for you on that.
