Only way to stop this offense is to bring the house from the first snap

You can't run the ball a lot when you are playing from behind due to your defense.

What about when you're winning 26-3 at half?

Last year, the Cowboys were rarely in a position where they couldn't run the ball because they were trailing so badly...and I'd argue that not running the ball, or at least picking up first downs, was a major reason why the Bears and Saints games got out of hand so quickly.

In my opinion teams are going to bring the house from the first snap. Teams that play safe will get rolled over by the run game. If you bring 5-6 to stop the run that's still not enough to prevent Dez/Beasley from having time to get open.

Only way to stop dallas is to bring 7 right up the middle to get romo off his comfort level.

If the defense shows any ability at all to slow people down the offense could bury teams by going no huddle and score at a pinball rate. Problem is there has to be confidence that the defense won't collapse so that the offense can go all out and not just try to serve as protector for the other side of the ball.

This offense has usually found a way to stop itself, primarily IMO through play-calling. We'll see if that improves this year with Linehan.

Other than that the offense should be hard to stop, if the line proves against a real defense that it is all it is cracked up to be,

this oline is not invincible,bernie and free are still weak links.
