La'el vs Bosa is key to the game

Then they go up against a team that passes and they are unable to stop them. They lose because passing scores more points than running.

Well, running for a TD scores the same amount as passing for a TD.

Run game opens up the passing game. Run game can wear out a defense, so the QB had all day to throw. Play action built off a strong running game makes for more effective passing and so on.

...and still be running at him! What's a heavy formation for any ways? That and a now healthy Pollard's speed outside...
A healthy Zeke can get outside too. This season will help. His Carrie’s were down. Next year, he’ll be better.

I think Dak's ability to feel and evade the rush is going to determine this game. The rush is coming. Won't matter who's blocking.

The run game has plenty of uses but teams that pass successfully score more points than those that run the ball similarly ranked. This is obvious.

THE key to the game is protecting Dak. We have seen how he crumbles under pressure....and we have seen Dak flourish when he feels free. Nobody....and I mean Nobody....can score as quickly as we can when we are hitting on all cylinders. If we protect Dak...that SF secondary is pure trash...and we will put up 40+. Hell...just last week...the Rams exposed them. What was surprising was how the SF defensive front wore down the Rams Oline....which is one of the better units in the league.
It's not surprising since the 49ers have one of the top DLs in football.

L Collins also seems to play at a higher level when Moore calls for Collins to pull on running plays.
I would love to see Dallas establish the run early and allow La'el to punish Bosa and the other defensive players, Big La'el likes to maul like a Grizzle Bear. Allow him to Maul.

Collins is just really good in space. He's odd. Looks like more of a giant FB than a G or T. Kinda plays that way too.

OP is all wrong as Greg Zuerlein will decide this game for us.

That’s the key to the game. If he ca. handle box, we win. It’ll help if he. Can beat him up in the run game.

With Tyron at LT, any help can go Collins' way. Martin to the left of him, and a RB or TE chipping Bosa to the outside. And Dak being able to *see* it all. Tough row to hoe for Bosa.

So Conner Williams going against Arik Armstead means nothing. The play of our DT's against their interior linemen means nothing.

REALLY?

I think this is the matchup that will decide the game. If Armstead is in the backfield the entire game, like Chris Jones in KC, the Cowboys offense will not get it done. And the offense is what makes the Cowboys team go.

Fuzzy also thinks a pound of feathers weighs less than a pound of steel.

The units in this case are attempts not mass. Given your comment you think a running attempt scores at the same rate as a passing attempt.

You repeatedly demonstrate poor aptitude in math and science.
