The Defense (man coverage)

If by top 10 you mean ranked 17th after last night, yes, they are a top 10 rushing team. And take RG3's running ability out of the mix, and they would most likely be last in the league.

But by all means, if it makes you feel better, yes, the cowboys defense is unstoppable.

Pretty sure you are looking at yardage totals, which don't factor in bye weeks. The skins are averaging 128 yards rushing per game, which is top 10.

Kiffen is adapting to the strengths of his players. Appears he is moving away from a pure Tampa 2 as needed, and as players can absorb the changes.
I like how he used the LB blitzes and threat of them to reduce skins OLine to one on one matchups with Hatcher the beneficiary, and even saw more penetration from Hayden and #70. Now he's got to smooth out the wrinkles on Church's coverage duties, and keep Carter progressing on his with McCoy coming up.

I liked that we played a lot of Man Coverage last night. Maybe we just use zone on obvious passing downs. Both corners balled bc they're Man corners. I like that my boy Mo is getting his confidence and swagger back.

Yes, they also played more man-coverage late in the Denver game when they held the Broncos to a field goal instead of a touchdown.

the Commanders have a bunch of weapons, Pierre G. S Moss Alfred Morris 2 good tight ends and a sensational athletic Q.B. Be glad they are not in sync and Morris is hurt, I think
that we over achieved on d and I hope it continues. Their offensive line is also trash and their defense is not over average.

People are underrating the skin's offense. They are averaging 400 yards a game, good for 5th in the league.

That's cause they getting their yards when teams are up by large margins in the third or fourth, playing soft and prevent.
