If you were head coach of Cowboys, how would u gameplan against the raiders?

As a Head Coach:

Being a short week, and as banged up as we are, I would KEEP IT SIMPLE. Play some Bill Parcells football.

Our defense has been spectacular and I would gameplan this one to hang our hat on our defense.

Run the football, play action.

No reason to take many chances.

I would try going deep to Miles maybe twice to loosen it up, but definitely get all 3 backs going.


Defensively, I would make Gradkowski second guess everything. Show a different coverage every play. Send the 5 and 6 man pressures on early downs and let the plays come to us and make the tackles on long yardage situation.

I would challenge my special teams to win the field position battle and allow our defense plenty of leeway and our offense short fields.

I would enforce the fact that winning the turnover battle against a team like Oakland and getting ahead by 2 scores makes the game go in our favor big time.

This one. Oh, and blitz the hell out of their QB.

I would start Felix, spell with Choice on offense and use the run to open up the pass so by the 4th Barber can pound a tired defense into submission. On defense, man coverage lots of blitzes and pressure on the Gradkowski(sp?) to make quick and bad decisions, hopefully turnovers. Special teams, nothing fancy just don't hurt us.
Best case would be to build a big lead at the half and get the starters out, especially Romo.

You look at the PHI/OAK game and the pressure they brought and how Philly was UNABLE to deal w/ it. Knowing Garrett is pass happy, I think that's what we'll see (sort of what we saw vs GB)

On offense: I'd go at about 60-40 run. As pointed out, the Raiders are like 30th in the league in run defense. Come out like you did last week and start running the ball down their throats. Just no fumbles this time and punch it into the endzone. On the second drive I'd start out running down their throats some more then hit them over the top with play action. At that point the start of the blowout shoud be on.

On Defense: Sick the dogs on Gradkowski. He's seriously one the worst QBs in the league. Backups included. He couldn't even win a job as the #3 QB for either the Rams or the Browns. He was beat out by Glen Dorsey in Cleveland and Brock Berlin in St. Louis. Two guys that aren't even in the league now. The only reason he's still in the league is because Al Davis is the only guy in the NFL foolish enough to think he's even servicable.

How many of these did we actually throw?
