Linebackers time to shine

[joseephuss]

I think Seattle will really test the linebackers. Alexander is a threat to run outside. The linebackers have to hold the point and force him in to the pursuit. I have seen all the OLBs on the team lose containment at some point or another so far this season. Seattle will also try to pass against the linebackers. Lots of short crossing routes and involvement of the tight ends and running backs. We saw some of this in the pre-season game.

The Seattle offense is different than every other offense Dallas has faced so far. Not saying they are better, just different. And I think that will put pressure on the weakness of the Cowboys defense, the line backers. The linebackes are getting better while learning the new schemes and this should be a good test to see where they are at. I think they will be up for the task.

We know Ware is fast enough, hopefully Singleton/Fujita can keep up.

I would love to see burnett get playing time at ilb. I really havent seen him do much this year.

Don't forget our corners -- if Henry, Newman, and Glenn can take the 'Hawks 2nd stringers one on one most of the day then we should be able to run an 8 man front most of the day. If that happens Roy should have a solid game.
