CFZ Some Opinions from the Game Against the Giants

[TwoDeep3]

I believe it is important to understand this was the Giants last night. All the 2-0 crowing by the press does not change who they are. Change two Pass Interference calls that were not made and this game would look far different.

1. This offensive line is coming together. The game was won in the trenches, and the offensive line held up their end. The running game was exceptional at times. Due primarily to the offensive line moving bodies.

The triumvirate of Tyler Smith, Jason Peters, and Tyron Smith is a luxury not witness here since the early 90's. The dominance of the front five on offense will carry this team a long way this season.

2. The running game gave Dallas the option for play action. At times it seemed Rush was yards from any defender as he set up to throw. This could be considered new territory for Dallas over the last couple of years having both a solid run game and time for the QB to throw. Taking nothing away from Rush, but having an unharassed QB makes a world of difference. Especially married to a run game which moves the chains.

3. The Dallas defensive line are serious meat-eaters. I suspect Micah was still feeling the effects of food poisoning. And the Giants did everything they could to slow his sack roll. But even when he is under the weather, and being doubled and tripled, his potential to crush the air out of the other team's passing game opens up things for other players on the defensive line. When was the last time you watched a game and thought Tank Lawrence was actually earning his pay? He looked like an all-pro last night. He should make a couple of Micah's house payments for the Giant's game only.

4. Peyton Hendershot looked good at times in the passing game. Now imagine what this team will look like with Dalton Schultz on the field with him. I don't want to make too much out of Hendershot's game against the Giants. But if he can bring this every week, this may end up being the tandem Dallas was hoping for when they had Schultz and Blake Jarwin. These two players patrolling the middle of the field open up the edges for the wide receivers.

5. Gallup will add a deep dimension to this offense. Stretch the defense a bit. Having the full compliment of receivers can only make this team even more potent.

6. Rush played within himself. He delivered the ball and moved the offense. I am not down on him and appreciate what he does. Drive the bus.

I have to wonder how he will play if called upon to lift the team to a win against a tougher opponent than the Vikings, Bengals, and Giants. His game looks rather vanilla. I'd like to see who he is when Dallas plays the Eagles in a couple of weeks.

we do not agree much but that great review. i agree with most of it.. Nice write-up.

nice stuff:

OL was very, very impressive given that the Giants strength is the DL. Leonard Williams was out but they got back 2 key defenders on a DL that has been great until they got beaten up at home by Dallas.
The raw power with which Tyler Smith plays with is just insane but his overall athleticism to be 10 yards down the field level with the backs is what will really make him an All Pro.
Jason Peters next to him just adds so much people movement.

DL is as good as anything I've seen since the LT led Giants. They just come in waves. Gotta do a better job of contain or assign a spy but the pressure was just relentless.

The RB tandem is working. I absolutely hate that every good play by Pollard draws slams on Zeke. Completely goofy and unnecessary. What makes TP special is his burst and there is zero reason to see him get 15+ carries. But his 10-12 carries a game can be so efficient and valuable.
When Zeke does get released Dallas will need a 2nd back who can fill that Zeke role. Hammer teams and pass block.

CeeDee might have grown up a bit last night. Gotta be focused on the little things to make the big things happen. Had a couple key but standard catches on that drive before making the all-world catch for the TD.

I wouldnt get all fired up watching Peters....he literally looked like he was having a heart attack after 6 plays. I seriously doubt he makes it past October.

You’ve been doing your best to post something about this every thread his name appears lol why you so obsessed with Peters?

His ability is evident, he just needs to get into game shape. Had Farniok not started so badly he wouldn’t have even been in the game. You wanna maybe give the guy a few weeks of real reps and padded practice before hopping on every thread to bash him?

You and the LVE guy are filling in admirably for Dakattack as the posters obsessed with random players. At this point just make a thread and get it over with.

the game was won in the trenches,

Most are and the Cowboys won in both trenches.

GREAT writeup!!!!!!!!

Jalen Tolbert will be heard from before long . Rush / Dak need another target . Goodness Noah Brown is going to start getting double teams. Tolbert just missed that bomb .

If we can get a Tyron Smith back at some time this season, then this OL can get pretty crazy.

Defense and running game were key...if we run like that every week we have a chance

Tyron is not what he used to be. It seems like the current online has chemistry which has been absent for years. I am not saying that the oline would be better without Tyron, but the oline is better without him.
