Let’s put the myth of the SF running game to bed

[baltcowboy]

No.

I'm suggesting that if we can't beat SF then we aren't contenders anyways, so there's no need to be worried. Either we're for real or we're not.

Really, San Francisco can beat every team in the playoffs. You can argue they have a better receivers, offensive line and defensive line then we do. The game is toss up. This is the same team that should have won the Super Bowl two years ago.

They are 7th in the league at 126.9 YPG. That’s is 2.3 YPG better than us. And here’s the thing, that’s only because they run it a lot because their QB sucks and their coach struggles getting his receivers open without playaction. They are 17th in yards per carry at 4.3, 0.2 yards LESS than Dallas.

This is not the team that went to the SB 2 years ago. They are a one dimensional offense that runs out of necessity and they are below average on a per carry basis.

But they are committed to the run. That's the key. We abandon it at earliest sign of struggle.

Their running game is no myth.

Thankfully their QB sucks

You can go to Beddy Bye if you choose .. but i'm not ..

.. it's the Eye Ball test ... They Out - Physical Aaron Donald and Von Miller and the Rams

They are gonna Out Physical our DL too ... we had most of our reg starters in, ..and 2nd and 3rd stringers were paving the red sea vs our run defense.

- That's scary worried,..and let's me know we are still under-achieving vs run ... makes me also think how extremely valued Parson and Kearse are vs the run ..

- Their physicality in the trenches and their ability to create Mis-direction and play action plays .............

Just curious, how much of those numbers skewed from earlier in the season when all of their backs were injured and they were having to scheme their WRs running plays?

Get a 10+ lead out of the gate, and watch the Dallas defense!

Not going to be easy but none of them will be. Good thing is Jimmy is injured and their OT’s. That was a nice win for them today.

Time for us to show out folks.

GO COWBOYS!

 

[CCBoy]

EchooOooo?

Four games now, and both sides of the Cowboys ball.

 

[CCBoy]

The last time the Cowboys led the league in INT's they ended up playing the 49ers in the playoffs.....didn't turn out too good.

For those of you who think missing an extra point is no big deal....the Cowboys lost to the 49ers by a point in that playoff game.

I hope the Cowboys win in the last second of the game by one point with a desperation pass from Dak to Amari in the back of the end zone.

...get 10 point leads!

You’re the definition of the most miserable person in the world. You can’t be miserable by yourself so you want to try to make other people miserable. Everyone here is happy that the Boys won the East and got the 3 seed in the tournament. You wouldn’t be happy if we were 1 or 2. Do us all a favor and find a toilet to jump in. Rub yourself all around the yellow stuff and then go pluck a chicken. This will make you look just like the 49er fan You are this week.

Ya'll scared to death of the Niners.

Not me.

It's one of the only matchups that we might have the better QB in.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Meanwhile... you say this in another thread.



Nah man, YOUR posts feels scared. And we ALWAYS come out playing flat?

This is the one matchup we might have the better QB in.

It's not a secret that they'll run the ball and we'll have limited offensive possessions.

That's not being scared. That's knowing a teams strengths.

Sorry guy, this fan is a Cowboys fan...

 

[Cydios]

Dallas is weak against the outside run

 

[JoeKing]

Joe you must of bumped your head because your so dumb. I was talking about you being blind and not knowing the game.

I think you are confused.

 

[Doomsday101]

No doubt SF is a team who relies on the run and tough defense. Passing game they have 2 very good players in Kittle and Samuels. Jimmy G is a streaky QB as was shown yesterday vs Rams. It will be important for the D line especially on those early downs to stop SF run and force them into 2nd/3rd and long situations where the Cowboys can get after Jimmy G.

 

[Denim Chicken]

They are 5th in Rush DVOA

 

[Jstopper]

The people that dont think SF has a chance need their head examined. Garapolo hung 49 on the Saints a couple years ago while Dak hung 9 on the Saints the same season. The 49ers just went into LA and beat them in a Game that LA needed. They are a good team and they are going to be a very tough opponent.

what in the holy hell does their respective performances against the Saints a couple years ago have to do with this game? What a ridiculous take wow.

while that sounds good

they got down 17 to the rams and didn't blink, came back and won and the rams defense doesn't suck, if that not proof that lead isnt all we need to win,..well stay tuned.

Exactly. Eli Mitchell averages 4.7 ypc but missed games to due a concussion. Deebo Samuel averages 6.2 ypc and also missed games due to injury.

When those guys play it's a different running game. Both played yesterday and are currently on track to play Sunday.
