Jeff Cavanaugh: "Key to beating the Jets is if Dak doesn't go full Josh Allen"

[Stash]

We wear them down with constant 3 and outs. Force them to pass the ball

Sure. If they don’t force us into the same thing.

 

[JohnsKey19]

What a lazy take. You should say that about any team. The key to winning is not turning the ball over 4 times.

True but Allen's turnovers were wholly reckless, especially considering the game situation. If they punt the ball 2 more times, instead of those bad TOs, the Bills chances of winning are probably somewhere in the 90% range.

 

[BigStar]

Considering that Allen had 4 turnovers, why should any fans have trust that the same won't happen to their QB? I mean, I know you meant that as one of your shots at Dak, but that's a tough defense to handle for any QB, as Monday night showed.

Just like our defense probably made Daniel Jones look worse than he will in most games this year ... with an assist from the weather.

Allen literally threw two hail mary picks for no reason though. Still feel burned bc he cost me a week 1 fantasy W. Literally lost the game for them tbh.

Dak, while erratic at times, has never given me that "give up, just chuck it" impression that Allen did Monday night. At least not in such close proximity like JA did.

And his pre-snap reads should have been "not" to throw those.

 

[KJJ]

The Jets are going to try and stuff our running game and force us to air it out, which could lead to some turnovers.

 

[Carson]

Sure. If they don’t force us into the same thing.

That’s their plan. But we have our starting O minus Smith likely Cooks.

Their tackles aren’t good and Wilson statistically speaking has been awful

 

[Risen Star]

It really will come down to which defense can force the most mistakes.

I don't know if this is for sure or not but I don't think Prescott had many if not any at all three turnover games.. I've watched Josh Allen have three of them just in the last 20 games.. It's rare for Prescott to ever have three interceptions or two fumbles an interception or however you wanna work them I'd have to go back and look but I don't think he's ever melted down that bad you know like Tony Romo the five interception game or whatever it was he came back and won that game...

Prescott's just not known for turnovers I know people around here want to keep harping on them but he is not when you compare them to guys like Peyton Manning Brett farve and Josh Allen they turned the ball over more period end of story it may not be much more but it's definitely more,,,

and lastly when you go back and even look at the two turnover games that Prescott's ever had you could look at at least one of those not being on his bad decisions or a bad throw it was something else,,

so this whole idea is gonna completely melt down it's ridiculous is he gonna be old or overcome a defense like that well how about you ask the coaches the offensive line the run game the play calling and all that is it gonna be here for this game are they gonna be able to at least move the ball effectively enough to not put Prescott in bad situations where he needs to feel like a hero... That's really what goes on in most of these games you're blaming Prescott for losses nothing's working most of the game there's no run game the offensive line can't block long enough we can have other problems and yeah at that point sometimes your quarterback feels like he has to do too much..

 

[Chuck 54]

There will be a lot of punting and playing for field position in this game.
I'm betting both teams punt at least 5-6 times. Dallas won't be going for it on 4th and short around midfield or attempting 55+ field goals. We will keep giving NY long fields. This will be a defensive struggle, bet on it.

 

[blueblood70]

I think it's hilarious I'm sitting here listening to ESPN's get up and Dan orlovsky is vehemently defending Josh Allen and saying that even with all the turnovers he's the top three elite quarterback that it doesn't bother him really so somehow Prescott bothered him all offseason because that's all he talked about... The double standards are real people literally there are people trying to defend Josh Allen and saying all his upside offsets these massive amounts of turnovers and the fact that this dude is putting his body on the line too many times to get an extra yard doing those hurdles or trying to out hit a 350 pound defender and fumbling for twice in the same damn play.

That's all OK they're just gonna excuse that they literally won't say a negative thing about except for yeah he'll clean them up don't worry except for the fact he's been doing this his whole career he's not changing yet this place and other places say you gotta stop saying I'm gonna fix it you gotta stop making excuses stop saying my bad stop apologizing and taking credit because if you keep doing it what good is that??

 

[J12B]

2 of Allen's Interceptions were essentially punts.

3rd and long mid field and he just threw it deep.

But yes, Dak can not turn the ball over.

Anytime you turn the ball over 4 times you should lose. If we get 4 turnovers we should beat any team. The cardinals are terrible yet i'd expect the cowboys to lose should dak or cooper or whomever is the qb at the time commit 4 turnovers. It's just a lazy headline as it applies to every single team.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Unfortunately, last year Dak did throw into coverage like an idiot game after game. There are a lot of things that indicate he is back to protecting the ball like did the previous 6 years but it is not an unreasonable concern.

 

[CoachD]

The formula is going to be very easy this year for every game. Rely heavily on your defense and play balanced football on offense, you don't even need a ton of yards or points because if you get between 275-300 yards and between 20-24 points you'll still win 12 games in the regular season with that defense.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

LMAO. I agree. If Dak can go interception free against the Jets, I'd call that a Pro-lite day. It's hard to go completely pick free against the top secondary of the league.

If we can't run we are losing................The End.

 

[mardwin]

We have reached the point where we trust Cooper Rush to take care of the football better than Dak. About time everyone recognizes he's not the QB "SOME" people think he is.

Play your game Dallas, force who-so-ever you play to play your ball. Don't remake what you are, especially since you are good at it. That goes for a good quarterback that has an offense now around his type of play.

What, no one has a fifteen minute memory today?

They strain gnats for game advantages and then swallow camels. I'm not on their travel lists...

 

[starfan1]

Uh, sorry but our guy doesn’t turn the ball over like Allen.

Never did and never will

additionally , Allen doesn’t command the huddle and his community outreach is non existent

lol youre such a kidder

 

[CCBoy]

Sure. If they don’t force us into the same thing.

With the offensive line in tact, just what team will force them to abandon the run?

Know who created the first comment media frenzy around Dak Prescott? Blame rests at the feet of the 'Cowboy' your our excuse group. They already know it's news before there is even logic to create a case. That is just fabricated. This is a new season that the team has given no negative indicator in.
