Only thing that matters is stopping Barkley

[Adiba1977]

Failed miserably. Got blow out and he ran wild. Fn pathetic.

We held him to just 167 in his 50 minutes of playtime. He just might have broke the record if he played the entire game. That was mighty kind of the Giants to give the guy to the Eagles.

That is also with having the ball for first 9+ minutes to start the game.

 

[Blue&Silver]

Right on!! If people want to discredit Saquon for (possibly) breaking the record in a 17-game season, why didn't they discredit Eric Dickerson for setting the record in 16 games? OJ got his 2,000 yards in 14 games.

Yeah, but OJ was a different type of back. He was more a slasher.

The Cowboys could not stop Barkley even when they knew he was going to get the football late in the game. Stopping the run has been their problem for years. Sure they look okay against weak teams but once they face a good team, they give up 180 yards or more on the ground.

The Cowboys defense is weak up front, and frankly, Micah is not a good run defender. Teams take advantage of his aggressive pursuit to run the ball at him.

Saquon has been stuck on a terrible team for his whole career. Seems like a really good kid and nothing not to like about the guy. Hate the Eagles but happy for him to get out of New York where they had a terrible team around him. If he gets the record so be it. He has had a rough career with all the injuries and it has been a shame for him with all the talent he has.

Must ... resist ... a ... retort ...

Mission ... unaccomplished.

You are 100% correct and Jerry will do little to nothing to fix the problem other than to pay Micah even more money.

Then the average fan will blame Dak for not finding a way to overcome it.

I wonder how Moutain Mahomes over comes every other week.

This isn't about Dak or any QB. It is about the lack of talent on the Cowboys defense in terms of run stopping. Stopping the run is not a one man job either. It is an entire defense that works together, each player doing what he is assigned to do. I just think the Cowboys defensive squad is not tough enough to play the run.

Jerry has built a very soft team.
