My take on what it will take for the Cowboys to win

[fansince68]

Have you been watching our games lately? Our running game has been terrible since Steele and Biadaz went down. The Washington game was disgustingly bad and TB has a tough defensive front to run against, like Washington!

I actually think we need to use play action on early downs and Dak is going to need to use his legs to get us 3-6 1st downs. We will HAVE to throw the ball to win this game. If we waste to many downs running into a brick wall we will be one and done!

I agree 100%. Some think that running the ball is easy for this team. Would we really want to have a similar game plan as the Commanders game?

But what about his great LEADERSHIP?

What exactly do they pay him 40 million a year for?

Apparently, Jerry doesn't understand talent evaluation. Dak doesn't lead anyone on the field- unless it's being first to the huddle so the media can see him.

Thier all world DT is back, "Run the Ball" yes, "HB dive 1 hole into Vita" no

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Maybe try running the ball outside and not straight at Vita Vea

As long as it's someone FAST like Turpin or Pollard. We need to see some creative changeups in plays and personnel to confuse the Bucs D. I love what the Saints did with #7 and #14 switching them off. #7 could play QB RB and WR. That was an exciting game 2 weeks ago.

Let's put an end to this once and for all:
You post the legal documents that back up your claims about me, along with your real name.
I dare you.
If you can prove what you have been saying about me, I'll leave the forum and admit that you were right.
But if not, post your real name; we have a problem to deal with.

its easy to go and check your background its all online. perhaps you tried and expunged your name. this crap was posted on the old ranch site. yeah, selling craapy chinese dry wall and getting sued.

you claimed you led men and owned large businesses, blah blah blah, turned out you had a contracting business with a few employees and got run out of business for doing shoddy work.
divorced twice. your kids don't even talk to you and then you found God. supposedly.

tell me I am lying. be a man for once in your life. if you have really found God!!!

yeah, you got a problem. as if I am scared of an alcoholic loser like you

and you had a post praising Dak's leadership now the opposite.

this is called speaking from both sides of your mouth, lying or being drunk. take your pick

I don't think Dak should be in the NFL. He's a nice guy, but he's not NFL caliber. Plenty of people can throw a football accurately if they get to stand behind a wall and take their time, but NFL caliber is a different skill set. Dak doesn't make good decisions under pressure- and that is not just talking about the pass rush. He chokes whenever the game requires him to make the difference. He has never been the reason the Cowboys went from struggling to winning. Someone else has to make the difference.
That's not NFL caliber.

how far up your arse did you reach to pull this one out?

and this from a guy who said and argued Tashard Choice is as good as Emmitt Smith..... and and and, Kellen Moore is HOF material...based on a single throw that was intercepted no less.....

yeah, we should take your word....perhaps I can print it, wipe my arse and flush it down the toilet. that's all its good for

I predict Dallas comes out tentative because of last week and it leads to us falling behind early. Dak will try to lead a comeback but I don’t see him having a lot of success. If the Bucs make some mistakes we have a chance.

 

[Captain-Crash]

well if dak goes down, and rush comes in, we win this one.

 

[noshame]

I fear we'll face the Dak/run stopper defense.
8 in the middle not necessarily in the box but within 10 yds of center.
2 CB off
1 deep safety
Challenging Dak to throw outs (doesn't end well)
Throw into crowded middle
(Results in patting ball/sack)
Clogs the run.

Key: get Dak out of the pocket!

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

The Success of running the ball will depend largely on the OL, who has been struggling to run block in the most recent games. If they're able to run block against Tampa, then Dak throwing the ball for just around 25 times should be the game plan. But if they struggle to run back, then we'll be seeing Dak throwing the ball closer to 40 times if they aren't having success moving the ball on the ground.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

well if dak goes down, and rush comes in, we win this one.

you want to put money down on that? name what ever dollars you are willing to lose.
put your money where your mouth is.
if Rush doesn't play, you lose nothing. if Rush plays. then you will win all the money you were willing to bet and based on what you said, we are going to win, so got balls?

IF the Cowboys will focus on their run game and plays that don't put the onus on Dak to make the difference, he'll have a great game. Dak doesn't respond well to game plans or situations that revolve around and depend on his ability to move the team.
But, if he is not the central focus of the offensive scheme, and the Cowboys defense plays aggressive early, Dak will shine. Any time the coaches see Dak being pressured to make a play, they must change the narrative and keep the pressure on the running backs.
Dak is great when he doesn't feel that he has to be the leader. If the Cowboys can grab the momentum early and Dak can take his time assimilating into the game plan, that's when he is at his best. He's that way because he is a nice guy, and doesn't know how to be the guy that is "in your face" with the game.
In short, the Cowboys can count on Dak's best if he doesn't know they are counting on it.
Some players are just that way. Dak is a chameleon; he plays like the rest of the team is playing - good, or bad. He'll play great if he feels like the rest of the team is carrying the load..
Mark my word; If Dak is relaxed when he hits the field and is allowed to think the rest of the team will carry him, he'll play well. But if he thinks the pressure is on him get ready for some three-and-outs.
This is the secret to Dak Prescott. He wants to be part of the team and enjoy their success, but he doesn't want to have to lead them.

No one cares what you think. You’re a hater.

I'm not a hater; I'm a Cowboys fan.
You're a Dak fan.
We are not the same. And you can't understand what you aren't willing to see.

Just run the ball you say? Have you seen our offensive line lately? Unfortunately, not that easy

you are not a cowboys fan. you have rooted for Titans and Minn.

you are a Bash Dak over Dallas crowd.

you are wishing cowboys to lose, so you can post your prepared 8 month BS about Dak.
you post nothing but about Dak. you have never ever posted anything football related, you don't know a play design compared to an underwear design.

yeah, Tashard Choice is better than Emmitt smith...or don't you recall your argument?

You need to produce either documents that prove your allegations against me, or tell me your real name before you respond to any of my posts.
I'm sick of your lies and I will find out who you are.

 

[TheHerd]

If we run straight up the gut on 80% of our first downs like every game recently, we will lose.

The Bucs play WAY better against the run than the pass. If we are gonna try and run the ball to set up the pass we'll be looking at a lot of 3rd and longs.
