We’d have 5 more sacks if our run defense was better. Can we fix it with our current roster? I personally think awuzie would help. He made a lot of tackles for us. We need someone to help Lawrence on the strong dude. It’s him or bust.

We have attacking defensive lineman to match our scheme. We attack on defense. In order to fix that you need a new set of players and new coaching. Now who feels comfortable when it all our defensive lineman out of town and telling them to take Quinn with them?

Milk the clock , keep them fresh .
Absolutely not. If your defense can't stop the run the last thing you need to do is make it a ticky tack game

If we had a milk the clock type of mentality we probably lose.

You get up 28-7 and you still let a team run all over you. What more do you want the offense to do? Even on the Fumble return for a TD they would have picked up the first down. I hate heaping accolades on to Dallas teams for this very reason, they will start to feel themselves and sleepwalk.

I think not playing the Bears would be a good start. They seem to have found something play calling wise. They likely will give everyone problems for the rest of the season.

Problem being, both Eagles and Giants have QBs like this and both will most likely end up in the playoffs with us while also seeing them one more time this season.

Play contain more, force them to throw. Hankins didn't look bad today but didn't play as much. You can utilize him.

Also not having Micah rush the passer as much on non passing downs. Couple times he spied today and it worked.

We have the personnel to do it, but you have to be willing to sacrifice some pass rush. Quinn is a little stubborn at times. But against these mobile qb's you have to force them to fit throws into windows.

This was my take away watching them last week.

Would be nice if they could for once figure out how to stop the rpo. Don't look for any changes roster wise really. Will be fed the usual we like our guys line.

Looking at their schedule the might run off at least 4 in a row and challenge for the third wild card.
