McCarthy vs Garrett vs Rams

[Doomsday101]

Not sure how much you can garner from the last game. The year before Rams ran all over us yet last year Cowboys were the team with 2 RB over 100 yards, it was a complete 180. Heading into this game there are some unknowns on both sides, Rams DC Phillips is gone and new DC has taken over, Cowboys of course big changes.

Well said

except they have a slightly different defensive scheme and have tweaked their offense with Kevin O'Connell also.

They have a rb by committee that Dallas or anyone else does not know how they are going to use them yet. Their tight end duo had over 100 catches and 1000 yards last year also.

They have two 1000 yard wr and two tight ends who can catch the ball. A quick passing game could be really difficult to deal with.

Yeah...there’s definitely changes but I still think we have the upper hand. Their O line is a huge liability, specifically in the passing game, and I think we have upgraded our D line. I am concerned about our secondary but I’m hoping the aforementioned will neutralize that.

I still think we’ll be able to exploit their defense big time, they lost ~5-6 starters and we added Lamb. I don’t see how most teams will be able to account for Coop, Gallup, zeke, Pollard, CD, and Jarwin (assuming the latter two are upgrades which I think they will be) let alone a defense that lost over half it’s starters and didn’t add any key play makers from a year ago when we beat them by over 20 points and had 2 100 yard rushers.

They appear to have really bad linebackers in the middle of the field. Not sure how good the nickel corner is either.

Do you recall if they move Donald around, I always seem to remember him playing over Tyron but I haven’t seen enough Rams games to know if he plays on the other end.

I think wade moved him around. Obviously no idea if they will do that this year. They still have a good nickel pass rush up front.

I’m sure they prefer to have him rush from the QB’s blind side but I think Smith handled him well last year. They would be crazy not to line him up over Erving even if Dak could see him coming...that could make for a long day.

The Rams still have some talent on defense in Donald and Ramsey two of the best at their positions. They can certainly make a play or multi plays that change the game. That said I still think the Cowboys have enough on offense where they can move the ball. If the Cowboys can apply consistent pressure on Goff then they will win easily. He can be rattled very easy. If he gets a lot of time he can be good. That Cowboys defensive line shows up than the Rams don’t have a chance.

I would be more worried about Donald but he was there last year and we still ran all over them. Now if they put him over Erving that could be a disaster but I would hope McCarthy would give him help. We have no shortage of offensive weapons, Ramsey is good but he can’t cover zeke, Gallup, Coop, CD and Jarwin all at once. I think we’ll overwhelm most teams offensively.

I really dont think this game will be close,if we can stop the run its over.

 

[Aviano90]

I expect perfection. I will settle for slightly less than perfect.

 

[Bobhaze]

I have the same prediction I have every year about the Cowboys and the NFL- it will be extremely unpredictable. Whatever most of us think will happen this year, it will include some twists and turns we didn’t expect. That’s the most reliable thing about the NFL- it’s unpredictable.

Hopefully the players and staff feel the same way!

 

[GMO415]

Got to admit.....Jason would have tied the game.

 

[Hayseed]

Nope. Dont miss him at all.

Hahaha.

Probably same results

Lets don't over analyze this folks. Lets look at it based on facts. The freckled puppet was our coach last year, we had no advantages here and beat them soundly. We are better, they're slightly worse, they also have no clue what scheme we will be using. We have a QB on a mission and a super bowl winning coach, I think unless something stupid happens we got this...

Their offensive line was injured last year, They weren't tonight.

As for "something stupid" going for 4th and 3 in 20-17 game in the 4th quarter - passing on a 30 yard field goal - fills the bill.

Final score? 20-17

Imagine the meltdown if the giants put up 40 tomorrow night.

 

[Mr_437]

Nah, looked like a Garrett game anyway.

Stand by. Wash won so it's not out of the question.
