While the Cowboys looked pretty good yesterday, at least on Defense, the Offense is still TBD due to not having to do too much, I'm still holding any reservations about expectations due to watching the 49ers dismantle the Steelers. They still demonstrate the physicality that has caused major problems for the Cowboys. They are the most balanced and physical team in the Conference if not the NFL. We didn't get to see much of the Cowboys Offense last night to get a good read on their status. We should get a better read in the coming weeks leading up to the Week 5 matchup at the 49ers.
It's only week one .. let's see how and if the Niners sustain that level and consistency as they face tougher opponents
and have to deal with the grind of the NFL season.
- That Steelers offense is mediocre and in time they may learn that their 1st rd pick QB maybe more backup than
starter stud material. Having a struggling offense puts more stress and load upon your defense.
- First half of playoffs vs Niners, we actually held those physical Niners offense in check.
But if you have a struggling offense that keeps the defense on the field constantly, they are going to
eventually be some leaks & cracks in that water dam before it eventually bursts open.
- I'd like to think Hankins, Clark, LVE, Dlaw, Parsons, Osa front will handle and sustain our run defense, that
will eventually allow our rushers to pin ears and go after the passer.
Remember Brock Purdy was actually off his game in 1st half, and all of Shanhan's misdirection and Deebo plays
were not working vs our defense.
And we will face those obstacle Niners again in both the regular season, as well as yes .. the playoffs !
