Step 1. Cowboys need to come out being as physical as possible

[Chuck 54]

We need to take several steps to be successful in TB this Monday night, but number one for me is to have a physical attitude. Both lines need to come off the ball to send a message. RBs need to hit it hard. LBs and DBs need to fly around and get in on the action, wanting to send a message.

TB is taking the approach that the 8-9 and 12-5 records mean nothing. Only what happens Monday for 60 minutes of game time matters. I have no doubt that they plan to come out and smack us in the mouth to see how we react. We need to meet that philosophy with equal or superior ferocity. TB goes as their LBs go. I saw the Ravens pound them into submission, blocking those two great LBs and pushing them 10 yards down the field. Linderbaum totally embarrassed Devon White, who was shaking his head on the sideline. I hope we watched that game closely and adjusted blocking patterns. I hope we come out with 3 TEs and Ceedee.

If we allow TB to be the more physical team, I think that’s trouble. We don’t have the skill players to win with finesse.

We have Noah (pick magnet) Brown though. He’s physical and will get plenty of targets lol

I hope he’s not even on the field the first series…haha, but if he is, it better be for a legal crack back block. Turn him loose! lol

.. Gotta take the lead first. Keeps pressure off.

Biggest concern, is player gaffes.

Truth is TB is not a good football team. Yes DC is very much flawed too. But TB's flaws are way more glaring. Playoff Brady might be the equalizer but they're weakness is Oline. Our stars #11, #90, #92, even Williams HAVE to feast. Brady is a sitting duck this year.

It would be worth a couple of roughing the passer penalties to take Brady out of the game.

I would love for this team to be physical, but unfortunately Jerry seems to do everything in his power to undermine the discipline it takes to create a tough physical team.

It's sad but I can't remember the last time this team was referred to as physical

 

[Cmac]

Team-wise that's lacking, though we have a few. See Sam Howell's TD run, especially at the goal line. Business decisions made.

 

[Adiba1977]

Bingo. Like Georgia coach said. AGGRESSION!!!!!!!

 

[Wizarus]

Hard to separate being physical from being stupid. If the team is disciplined sure, but we have a history with racking up penalties.

this team is soft so yes i approve of this message

I’m much more fearful of the TB defense, no fear of Brady leading that offense. In their only 8 victories, TB barely averaged 20 points per game and won 4 games scoring in the teens. The only victory with more than 21 points was week 17 vs Carolina, and they had 7 points on a 6 yard drive after fumble and a FG after a 9 yard drive after fumble. If they score a bunch of points on us, we will have been outcoached.

Even if TB shuts down the run, we need to be patient and happy to keep it close, waiting for our opportunity.

If that TB offense scores 30 or beats us on a final drive, Quinn can hit the road because Tom and TB have sucked all year on offense.

I mean we have made some 2nd and 3rd string QB's look just fine lately... lets just hope they come to play this Monday and look like the first half of the season defense.

Yes but they are getting healthier on offense. Can't count on their statistical averages being their ceiling.

If we are the better team, we need to go out and perform in all phases of the game. We've done that like 1 game this year.

 

[diamonddelts]

Sorry no defensive tackles available to be physical.

If i had a nickle for everytime we faced a weak or injured oline and yet still barely applied pressure, i could probably buy the cowboys from jerruh

Although i hope at least Hankins back helps Osa and Gali(long shot) stay fresh to keep pressure down the middle.

Step two ..... Through it too Noah Brown in triple coverage

Step three ...... Profits

 

[visionary]

Be more physical?
Come out with an attitude?

So you’re saying we have no chance?

 

[IceStar-D7]

Good point....Bad dream....
