I know this normally isn't Cowboy related, but seeing as we play them Sunday I figured it would be good to know. Ryan Matthews being out means a lot more of Murray I suppose.

Hey OP it would be nice if you specified which Matthews you're talking about.

Chip said they will decide on Saturday, but they appear to be preparing for them both not to play.. they also seem to be figuring out who can go at LB and how they will play them and Agolor(sp?) is playing with a high ankle sprain so he is slowed.

Sorry about that, I completely forgot that there was 2. If a Mod can update the thread title that would be great.

If Peters can't play, that would be a huge advantage for Dallas. Hardy would eat his backup alive.

It's also nice to have Collins power against Fletcher Cox.

Collins played against them in week 2.

Just like he ate last weeks backup. No sacks but he had a good game.

Wilson got rid of the ball in a nanosecond. There were very few opportunities to get there. But it amounted to very little for Seattle.

Matthews not playing is huge considering he has been the better back all season. I clicked on a forum after the last Eagles game and saw Eagle fans all calling for Murray to be shipped back to Dallas in favor of Matthews, the feelings were pretty unanimous.

Didn't Seattle have a backup left tackle in for the injured Okung last week? Not one sack was registered. Hardy is great, but he can't do it alone.

There was still pressure. Problem is Wilson is so mobile and he's about as hard a guy to sack as anyone. Bradford is not that type of guy.

The pressure was good, but when you get rid of the ball in 1.5 seconds, sacks don't happen. Wilson didn't drop back in the pocket much.

True, but let's not assume that Hardy will be able to just kill the backup if the rest of the guys are not helping him out.

True, but other teams haven't had a problem with sacking Wilson, and most teams don't have a Greg Hardy on their D-line. The other guys have to step up and help this guy, he can't do it alone.

Yeah like he did Alvin Bailey in place of Okung?

They are moving Johnson from RT to LT. I bet Dallas moves Hardy around a lot this game getting him on guys like Kelly and Tobin, who stink.
