I understand their front four is pretty good, but a lot of you are giving them way too much credit. They are 30th in run defense, allowing 171 yards rushing per game. In other words, Murray will once again have a field day on his favorite opponent.

If the OL and Murray do their jobs then he has a good chance to put up a big game. I'm sure Fisher will look at film and see the game Murray had vs Tenn and he may look to put 8 or 9 in the box and if that is the case the Cowboys must be able to attack them down the field.

Titans have a better d. But the rams are supposed to have a good dl. The only way dallas loses this game is if they beat themselves. With romo being the way he is and the oline not pass blocking well I see a heavy does of running again.

Then if you are Fisher what do you do to try and counter?

The Rams as a collective defensive unit are not that impressive. McDonald will hit ya, Jenkins is pretty good, and they got some players on that defensive line. Im not gonna make the mistake of writing them off and say the offense should have their way, but if this team is different than years past I think you get the picture.

Oh they're going to stack the box and make Romo beat them with his arm.

Exactly. I think Dallas needs to continue to show balance but I fully expect Rams to come out loading the box and if Dallas can hit them with some big passes they will back out of the loaded box.

We are catching the rams at a good time. The usually get better as the season goes on. At home with all the injuries we should win this game. That, of course , means I'm concerned we won't

Stop the run and If they do that dallas will be in big trouble.

Yes but they will not do so playing 7 in the box, more than likely they will have to load up the fronts but as I just mentioned you hit them with some big plays in the passing game it will force them out of 8 or 9 in the box.

I am not sure we are capable of big plays passing unless it's after the catch. Tony's looking very limited throwing the long ball.

For me I never take any game or team for granted. Coach Landry taught me well. I would watch his coaches show every week during the season and it seemed no matter who Dallas was going to play by the time his show was over you would swear we were playing the reigning SB champs, even if that team had a losing record.

We will find out soon enough. Teams are not going to just allow us to run on them at will they will test Tony and it is up to Tony and the OL and WR to make them pay.

True but even as a fan I look at every game as a possible win and loss no matter who Dallas plays and have looked at the game that way since I was young.
I sure as heck do not come here claiming we have no chance vs a team nor will I claim Dallas will blow a team out

Yea agree. He got comfortable yesterday throwing the shorter ball to Witten but his long passes sail on him.

I presume it was his physical issues but thought he played pretty solid yesterday. The whole team was much better prepared.

I felt his passes looked pretty good second half after a bit of a slow start then again Tony has had a habit of getting off to slow starts. Time will tell how Romo is physically

He got pounded there several times. No time to throw. Even Troy said something about he had no time to set & throw. He settled down, the line got better & Jason was getting open.

And our coaches did a nice job I thought.
