Most posters are confused by your comment. Lol. Fyi... I agree with you.
The only way to beat a guy like that is to draw him in and knock the snot out of him in unexpected ways. Same thing they are doing to Parsons

Zach dominated the last match-up in 2019. I don’t even remember AD sniffing the backfield against ZM.

Opening night, 2020 season, Donald had his way with Martin and Connor Williams. He had Martin on skates on some pass rush downs in the game. Hadn't seen Martin have that much difficulty with an opposing player other than Fletcher Cox.

They’ll move Donald around in an attempt to find a mismatch… which will be easy enough to find. He’ll be over McGovern/Biadasz much of the night. They’ll probably give him some snaps against both Smith and Steele where he can have a lot of room to work.

He’s a nightmare for OL’s.

Dallas needs to have Rush under center running play action a lot… if they can get the run game going then suddenly the Rams DL becomes manageable. If Rush is in the shotgun, he better get that ball out quickly.

I’d also run some screens.

He will likey move from Martin to McGovern was hoping Peters would be playing. Would be a good match..

I thought we could win the matchup with Peters providing the anchor and Biadasz providing the help. I'm much less confident with McGovern in there.

Because it is going to be hard to focus on all the plays on offense, when we are focusing on
the battle that is about to unfold.

I actually can't wait for this... it will be like a UFC PPV.

I wish they'd line him up over Martin all night. More likely, they line him up everywhere else. Can't blame them, I'd do the same thing.

Don’t remember that game, just recall the one in 2019. Either way, both legends in their own right.

3 years ago?

That was the last one I remembered. Apparently from this thread, ZM got dominated by AD in the 2020 matchup, but I don’t think I saw it and if I did, I don’t remember it.

2 HOF players irrespective..…

So in other words one game AD won and the other game Zach won. Talking two HOF players so maybe that is not surprising.

Conner Williams could block him due to size and leverage. Donald couldn't just get up under Conner and move him like quickly does others.
