Keys to an Easy Win over the Skins

[Chuck 54]

OFFENSE:

Patience...ignore the fans who want to see huge points...conservative game plan, taking a few shots at midfield...don't turn the ball over or get impatient and pass-happy...pound the rock and look for the TE. Austin/Crayton/Williams will pop open for some big plays as the safeties creep up.


DEFENSE:

Safety first...not too much blitzing...cover the backs out of the backfield and the short stuff with help over the top...Skins OL is banged up...this game is not about how many times we sack Campbell if it leads to big plays on screens or double moves...solid up against the run...keep QB in the pocket...some sacks will come, but don't go blitz-happy to get them...let the QB make mistakes and have the DBs back there ready to take advantage.


Special Teams:

Just be solid....don't out-punt the coverage....hit some nice, high 40 yarders...Randal-El has been dropping them.


If we play smart and conservative, the game will be close at the half, but we'll pull away for an easy victory in the end.

The only way the Skins make us sweat this one out to the final gun is if we play stupid by turning the ball over or blowing assignments.

If you look at the Cowboy losses the last 2 years there is a common thread: Jason Garrett abandons the running game way too early. Think I'm wrong? Watch how many times the Cowboys line up in the 'I' and run inside. I'll wager it's less than 5. Until the Cowboys force defenses to respect the running game, this team is gonna end up like last year: Romo running for his life and this team not making the playoffs.

Nice focus...

I'm watching our defensive ends and Jay Ratliff, then Tony Romo on offense.

as long as they dont put hunter smith in qb, we're good.

The key is getting on them early, they aren't a mentally tough team (a lot like us) - if they start to lose faith in themselves it could be a route.

Thats why I hope we take some shots deep down the field early and possibly a gadget play. Great week for a flea flicker or an onside kick.

Get Turnovers!!

You could always just score more points then them. That would ensure a victory too.
