The Dallas D will need to step up big time on Sun if we are going to win. The NYG D is scrappy and tough-- I just don't see the Dallas offensive attack being able to control the game all that much. BUT-- if Hardy and the D can generate consistent pressure on Eli, and (more importantly), the tackling at the 2nd and 3rd levels improve-- we will be in the game at the end with a chance to win it.
Dallas' front 7 will win up front and cause NY problems.
The concern is the Dallas offense doing enough moving the ball and punching it in the end zone.
I think this is a game Dallas wins if they get 24-26 points.
True, as we do not know how the Offense will come out and perform with Cassel. But we put up points with Weeden on Falcons and Saints. Then nothing on NE. We can and should get to that 24 point level again.
But the D let down in those games, in the 2nd half on Falcons and Saints. But showed what it could be in the first half against NE. Still dropped off in the 2nd half, but not as bad. NE made adjustments, and we changed the defense up, but to no avail in the 2nd half. I don't see that happening again. They need to play 4 quarters from here on out. Eli is not Brady, and their OL looked like a sieve. However They always have a way of playing better against us. But this time with Hardy, Ro, Gregory will be back too. Lee can stay in for the full game will be big.
As soon as he left the Falcons game, they went right down and scored, he left the Saints game, things changed. I don't believe he was 100% against NE.
Well, now they are all back and all healthy, that we know of. D will need to set up the O these next 4 games.
