Micah's role against the Giants

[xwalker]

This week I would at least start the game with shutting down the run by keying Micah on Barkley. Then if the Cowboys offense can establish a lead, then I would turn Micah loose on Dimes. Sounds simple, but the Giants are going to do everything possible to establish the run. You can't let the Giants drive the ball and get 1st downs and chew up the clock.

As pretty as it is to have Micah hunting down QBs, I think he will be more valuable this week as a sideline to sideline linebacker that can contain Barkley.

But then if the Cowboys can get a 2-score lead and force the Giants to have to throw the ball, then you can unleash the pass rush.

I don’t think we will be keying Micah on Barkley. He will do what he will do all year sans injuries to others and that’s a little bit of everything and going after Jones will be a huge part of the game plan

I can see them playing Parsons more at off-ball LB than at DE this week.
- The first 2 weeks were against elite QBs.
- This week Barkley running is a bigger threat than the QB.

Micah's role should be rushing the passer 90% of the time.

He's great at everything but getting to the QB consistently is the most important thing you can do on defense in this era of football.

Let him make Jones see ghosts all game. Everyone else can handle Barkley.

But if they run the ball all day we won’t even be able
to get to passing downs. Like the OP said, team focus on stopping the run and once we turn them one dimensional you unleash Micah.

Pass rush 90% of the time to the top rushing team in the NFL so far makes no sense. Barkley leads the league in rushing, stop him then move to rushing Jones. Pass rush won’t matter if they are constantly in 3rd and short.

Stopping run not a problem for Micah either. Also leading NFL in TFL.

Just unleash him on 3rd and long, or obvious passing downs.

Kill Daniel Jones. That's his primary purpose. Secondarily, free up other players too make plays
