CFZ Thoughts about the Colts!

[LACowboysFan1]

Takes too much effort

Yeah, you'd think the players got paid or something....

 

[LACowboysFan1]

One word for the Cowboys to win, or rather the lack of the one word:

Penalties

 

[Rayman70]

Trap Game. Thats my thoughts.

 

[conner01]

Haven't seen much of the AFC South Teams, here is what I've heard about the Colts:

Offense

-Clearly the best unit is their Defense. Have 2 players to worry about along the DL: Buckner who we all remember with the 49ers and Ngakoue. Both players can give the Cowboys troubles. Their all pro linebacker Leonard is out for the season.

-They like to use overload blitzes, they will try to confuse our Tackles which man they have in protection.

-Stephon Gilmore like Patrick Peterson a few weeks ago, isn't the same player, the Cowboys can have success going after him. They also will be starting a backup corner on the other side, just like Minnesota needed to do.

Defense

-Jonathan Taylor can potentially be a game wrecker for the Cowboy Defense. However, their OL has struggled throughout the season in both the run and the pass. Still another legitimate challenge for our run defense.

-Colts receivers jump out at you with their size and length. Pittman, Pierce, Woods are huge targets. Pittman is the best out of the group, where Diggs should matchup well against. Pierce is the one who can beat you down the field.

-Due to inability to protect, the Colts passing attack is underneath without much of a deep, passing game. Ryan isn't very mobile and takes a ton of sacks.

-Pretty much the same strategy as last week, take away the run, win the game. I bet the Colts will have a similar game plan as the Giants, try to have Ryan do a lot of bootlegs and quick passes to stay away from the Cowboys pass rush. They will try to loosen up the defense with an early shot down the field. Force them to score points.

Special Teams

-Nothing of note to discuss.

They are a better team than their record indicates
Stopping their run is huge but also scoring early and often helps take away the run threat

It'll be tough early but by the 3rd quarter the cowboys will be rolling offensively and defensively they will have to stick to the run as long as possible but will have to begin throwing more in the 2nd half to keep up and that is when the turnovers happen.

 

[Dallasfann]

We will have over 6 sacks in this game and win in a fairly easy game.

 

[Rayman70]

We will have over 6 sacks in this game and win in a fairly easy game.

I want that 2 be true . A sign of a great team is getting the easy win in a business-like manner. TCB. This is 1 of those games. How we get the win matters in this case.

 

[Whyjerry]

Weak OL with a statue QB. Control Taylor, get a lead and tee off on Ryan. This is a bad matchup for the Colts. If Dallas comes to play they should maul them.

I'm not worried too much about their passing game, unless they establish the run and effectively use playaction off of it.

Big IF.

Most teams, like the Landry teams, feast on opponents after the 10 day rest.

The Cowboys since Jimmy left, not so much.

Here's hoping for a return to the Landry pattern...

 

[TwoDeep3]

Listened to this yesterday. To sum it up, Dallas just needs to score and score. It is a game plan the Colts cannot keep up with.

Here's another view of the coming game.

Big thing with the colts is do not let Ryan get time to open up deep throws. If Ryan has to throw short constantly teams just crowd the LOS which makes it tough for taylor.

 

[RoboQB]

This will be deemed as the Oprah Game for the defense.

"You get a sack! You get a sack ...and you... and you. Everyone on defense gets a sack."
There will also be an early Christmas present for a special teamer.

 

[baltcowboy]

The Colts talent level is on par with Washington, Giants, and the Packers. I believe the game will be reasonably close but Dallas would have to make mistakes for them to lose. I am concerned about the flu guys because the Colts do have a solid big receiver, a number 1 cornerback, and a left defensive end that is returning from injury in Quitty Paye.

That should be the plan, like we saw last week.

Just last week the Colts had a 10 point lead going into the 4th quarter against what most think will be the #1 seed in the NFC. The Eagles har to go on a long drive and scored the go ahead TD with 1:20 left.

The Colts are not an awful team.

 

[Longboysfan]

I expect to see a few more blitzes this week.

 

[blueblood70]

this could be last years Denver game, lets hope not..

- Buckner vs McGovern and RB Jon Taylor vs our run defense ..

and the usual with " don't beat ourselves' with mistakes "
