To beat the niners it's going to take a confidence makeover first and foremost in my opinion. This will not be a game where we can afford to witness Dak's deer in the headlights gaze. Make no mistake about it, the niners believe they will beat us, we don't scare them, they will be loose and we will be tight. On paper, the niners have the overall better team and record so it's going to have to start with our boys being prepared and confident.
I believe that this teams suffers from Jerry Jones and his country club awe shucks involvement. Big Mike whom I do really like as coach is not the best motivator, he just really doesn't set the tone in a way that is helpful from an emotional standpoint. Dak will be dak and like clockwork he will most likely at some point slip into his mental depressed state if and when things aren't going to plan.
1. We need confident and stable Dak
2. Red zone production
3. Ball control
4. Toughness
