Imho, the crux of our road woes are rooted in the vast chasm of unique advantage Dak enjoys @ AT&T Stadium vs any road venue.

I mean, the silence he enjoys @ home initially sometimes creates a fishbowl effect that initially can cause balky starts vs lesser opponents, but once settled in it's a 7 on 7 vs most teams. And even good teams probably can't hang over 60 mins. "Yeahhh, Here we Go....!".

Now when in a Buffalo, SF, or otherwise loud environment: all that pre-snap maneuvering is tested by extreme noise. The Offense struggles to get moving @ all.

Solution:

**Implement a Cowboys version of the K-Gun Offense. Go Tempo. Early and Often**

Aim for as many possessions as possible. Pressure the Defense for 60 mins with Deep Middle routes. Aim to outscore the opponent and be prepared to sacrifice points.

Defensively: Work RZ Defense non-stop. Blitz more. Move Parsons back to off ball LB 1st and 2nd Down. And for the love of God: Sign a functional LB to help.

I like the idea of going up tempo on offense to get them in rhythm and to hopefully get a lead

It’s clear this team will only go as far as the offense can take it— so maximize points, get the lead, and make teams face our pass rush

It sucks...but I would pick this team over any other team at home, even SF. It sucks that we're at such a disadvantage. I also think they call more conservatively on the road.

Also, Juanyeh Thomas needs to start over Jayron Kearse at this point.

Not sure why this hasn't been tried. Miami would be perfect venue to debut this approach. Plenty of Dallas fans will be on hand.

Agreed. Miami can score in bunches and their team speed and ability to run the ball is kryptonite.

The offense has to be close to perfect and the D will need to force some turnovers for us to get out of there with a W.

We may be able to get to Tua. Miami struggles vs any Defense worth a crap. Most recent Jets game not withstanding.

If Miami is dumb enough to throw it against our D instead of running it down our throats— I’ll take it lol

They are the 4th best rushing team in the NFL. They have to be salivating watching the tape we just put out there

I know. Not a good sign.
