Sticking to what works. For whatever reason, if something is working, Dallas gets away from it. All season long, receive the kick off, pound the rock, control the clock. The playoffs come and what happens, someone gets cute. Rodgers is all over us like ugly on an ape. We lose and the only person thrilled is captain clapper.
Dallas starts going after the QB, we are knocking him around, what happens, we stop. This is the stupid stuff that freaks me out. IF you have a winning formula, stick to it until someone beats you. Dont have it working and say "damn this is working, we better stop using it to be fair to the other team.
Going after weaknesses. Again, Garrett has this theory, if the opposing team has an injury, dont exploit it. What, no you moron, you go after it like sharks to blood.
Tip to Pollack. The only message you send to squad "impose your will" That Oline has got to be a mean streak so opposing defenses know "we are coming to bully you" Attack attack attack, make them double up, slow them down, bully them up and down the field and when you are done, and our player is tired and has nothing left, you make him do it again, all freaking day. Remind them to impose impose impose until the other team is mentally broken.
Tip to Rod, if a player is getting at the qb, you run that play run that play and run that player into the ground if you have to until that qb is crying. This is pre football defense, get that qb and get inside his head. Only dallas will look at a player beating on a qb and say "oh stop it, you are being rude to that QB" no, stay at it all day even if they double up, thats one less person.
Stick to what is working for you.
