What it will take to beat the Chargers

[nalam]

Right. Which is one of the reasons why this team isn't a contender.

True , agree, but eagles have invested so many picks and always have good OL and DL but still come up short in the big stage , ( except for that Folk Magic stretch ), wonder why ?

 

[nalam]

I think we need to put Lewis in the spy role like against Saints , he kind of nullified Kamara. Eckler is similarly dangerous.

As we learned in the TB game, it will take the league allowing it to happen, to happen. The refs didn't allow us to beat TB.

Quick scouting report on the Chargers and what it will take to beat them.

THEIR STRENGTHS

• Outstanding young QB in Justin Herbert. He has started 16 games in his career, going 7-9. Great accuracy as evidenced by his career 32 TDs vs 11 INTs. He’s big and mobile and has shown he’s not intimidated by anything. Can pass and run, so containing him and pressuring him are important.
• WRs- Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are outstanding. Jalen Guyton, their 3rd receiver is a drop down but as a whole this is a top 10 group. Allen has had back to back seasons of 100 or more receptions. Mike Williams is no slouch, averaging over 80 receptions the last two seasons.
• T Rashawn Slater- Chargers #1 pick this year has solidified their OL. Has already shown flashes of ALL PRO level talent.
• Pass Rush- Edge rusher Joey Bosa has 48.5 career sacks in 5 seasons. The other Edge guy is Nuchenna Nuwosa, a third year player who has 10 sacks in his first two years.
  
• Safeties- Derwin James is an ALL PRO safety and Nasir Adderley is a young up and coming safety. James is great in coverage as well as stuffing the run when in the box. They dare you to run the ball because they often play deep because of their range.

WEAKNESSES

• Not much of a running game- RBs Austin Eckler and Justin Jackson aren’t anything special. Last year, they averaged only a little over 100 yards a game. Last week against Wash, they had 90 yds rushing.
• Stopping the run- they aren’t terrible. But if you can establish the run on them, they don’t have great LBs which can set up play action passing.
• Overall Defense was 23rd last year- they were without Derwin James last year, and their D stats showed it. They have a great pass rusher in Bosa but other than Bosa and James, their D is just average.

KEYS TO BEATING THE CHARGERS

• Establish the running game- Zeke and Pollard must be able to be a real threat, especially early. You can run on the Chargers. If we can run on them, we should win.
  
• Avoid long third down situations- That’s always true every game but especially against the Chargers where Bosa is deadly as a pass rusher on 3rd and long.
  
• Contain Justin Herbert in the pocket- he doesn’t run much, but he did have 5 rushing TDs last year. And he can pass well on the move.
• Put Trayvon Diggs on Keenan Allen- Containing Allen will be a huge key. The Chargers like to move him around a lot to isolate him in multiple coverage situations.
• Help Steele a lot- Steele cannot handle anybody- much less Bosa alone. He will need lots of help.
• Score early- we cannot get behind early forcing the running game to the curb.

Let’s go Cowboys!

The last three points...

Rashawn Slater is going to be a problem. Herberts going to time to pick us apart.

T.O.P. will decide the winner in this one.

As we learned in the TB game, it will take the league allowing it to happen, to happen. The refs didn't allow us to beat TB.

Seemed league wide, and while I did not watch every game, I saw enough to see that at Least in week 1, refs where letting DBs get away with more than they have been allowed.

A few offensive Pass Interference flags even being thrown, just clear eye few from this perspective.

I actually enjoyed seeing the refs keeping the flags in their pocket and letting slight contact and position battle take place with WR vs DB, hope it continues.

Throw the flag on an obvious mugging, but taking all DB contact rights away has hurt the game IMO.

I hope this continues, I personally feel that DBs have been handcuffed and was surprised at the amount of contact taking place in most games, kept expecting the flag.

We have just been conditioned to expecting it,, time for the DBs to be allowed an equal defense.

Let’s go Cowboys!

Bradlee Anae & Armstrong are going to surprise a lot of fans with 3-5 sacks game performance.

 

[waving monkey]

We will win a shootout i dont think Herbert can outduel Dak

We wont win a grind it out kind of game because those are the games where we make one mistake and give up a long TD drive then go 3 and out and give up another TD drive making it 27-17

Herbert can out dual Dak and went heads up his first pro game against Mahomes.
Their talking about his off season growth.
Dallas can win of course

 

[Batman1980]

1. Swing tackle cannot be a problem on Sunday.
2. It's a must that we generate pressure on Herbert.
3. Bones must fix the special teams.
4. Our secondary needs to tighten up a bit.
If we can do that I believe we break into the wind column this Sunday

Break into the wind? Did you eat a bunch of beans?

 

[Bobhaze]

Bradlee Anae & Armstrong are going to surprise a lot of fans with 3-5 sacks game performance.

Wow- I hope that happens. But why would that just be happening this week? In the case of Armstrong, he’s had 4 yrs to show he’s capable of that without much to show for it. Why would he just blow up this week? And Anae hasn’t exactly blown practices or ps games up either. Again, I hope it happens, but there’s no evidence for either guy to emerge suddenly other than hope.

Parsons has shown plenty of evidence in practice and preseason that he can make plays. The other two have not as of yet. Again, I hope they do, but I don’t share your level of confidence in guys that haven’t shown much to this point besides being backups.

 

[Rockport]

One and done doesn’t excite me.

That’s a losers mentality. Assuming the Cowboys will lose.

 

[jnday]

It would be more than a surprise. It would be a legitimate miracle.

 

[blueblood70]

romo to come out of retirement and suit up

jk lol

 

[jnday]

It would mean the Cowboys would be in the playoffs where it’s a whole new season.

It’s wouldn’t be a new season. It would be a continuation of the season with the same players. As weak as the NFCE is, there will be several teams, that won’t make the playoffs, from other conferences that will be better than the NFCE champion.

Problem is nobody respects our commitment to the run game due to the kid we have for an OC and his commitment to a High School Offense. This game should be a chance to showcase the ability to run the ball downhill and control the clock, but this team will more than likely get behind early and have to throw a lot resulting in a ton of meaningless passing yards late and yet another close loss.
