Next week-no 1 rushing team vs no 1 rushing defense

[reddyuta]

granted the Packers have not played teams with good oline but this will be a true for our rushing attack and will determine the outcome of the game.

Jax, Minnesota, Lions, and Giants. Not exactly the who's who of run games.

 

[Verdict]

granted the Packers have not played teams with good oline but this will be a true for our rushing attack and will determine the outcome of the game.

I remain convinced that the Packers are vulnerable to the run. They are statistically rated highly because of the teams they have played, not because of ability. Hopefully I am right about that.

 

[perrykemp]

The Packers spend most of their time with only 2 DL on the field -- it's pretty odd, even for a 3-4 team.

On the surface, this would seem like the ideal kind of DL for the Cowboys to run against.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Cincy has a better front 7 when it comes to stopping the run. I like our OL against GB. I do NOT like Aaron Rodgers vs our secondary lol

Rodgers likes to hit his receivers down the middle and that's where we seem to struggle.

 

[erod]

Should be able to play action the Packers with great success, too.

They're not that good against the run. This is a stilted stat. Dallas needs to control the ball and keep Rodgers on the sideline. He doesn't play as well when he has to watch a lot.

Mo on First
Carr on Adams
Scandrick/Brown on Cobb


We should be able to make this a close game win or lose.

I really like our Oline vs their Dline match up. This will be the biggest test for their group.

 

[bayeslife]

This team kept Geno Atkins in check so I'm sure they can move the ball on GB

Jax, Minnesota, Lions, and Giants. Not exactly the who's who of run games.

they actually shut Adrian Peterson down...

 

[bigdnlaca]

They have been playing the run all season and it probably is the reason why WRs are putting up crazy numbers against their secondary (before the Giants game). However, none of their opponents had a RB (exception of Peterson but he didn't play all game) better than Elliott and a QB playing better than Dak is playing right now.

I do expect Dez, Williams and Beasley to each get close to 100 yards. I can see Elliott probably getting 70 and Morris getting 30 yards.

 

[Leadbelly]

Thought GB looked really strong vs the Giants, though Eli has been sucking most of the season. Missed a ton of guys wide open.

But excited to see Dak and Zeke vs a team that's objectively top tier. Even if we think the 42.8 yards/game vs run is inflated, it's not likely by much. I'll be surprised if Zeke gets over 75 yards running. Dak might be running more than usual though.

 

[robbieruff]

Jax, Minnesota, Lions, and Giants. Not exactly the who's who of run games.

And with the best RB's out in much of those games.

Zeke gets 150

Dont worry, after Zeke goes for 120+ everyone will say the Packers are near bottom of the league in rush defense ability.

Maybe they will fall into the trap of thinking they are better than they think they are. Then along comes the Bulldozers to pave a big day for Zeke.

It may be anecdotal but it appears at first blush the Cowboys have fared worse against 3-4 vs 4-3 fronts. I'd love some numbers on this.

 

[Leadbelly]

Zeke gets 150

On the ground or total?

Hope so but feel pretty safe 150 all on the ground only happens if their entire front 7 comes down with swine flu.

I agree, Ny got off some nice runs on them with their crap Oline. Packers D line stats are so skewed. Before the Bengals game most of their fans said Zeke was overrated and wouldn't get more than 50 on their Defense. The reason being because the Cowboys hadn't played a tough Defense.

 

[Nova]

We've always had some issues with the 3-4 against our ZBS aspects.

But our players are better than theirs so I'm confident we can move some guys.
