Dallas94Ware Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 11 minutes ago, Northland said: Quinn dialing something up to confuse Purdy is a key in my opinion. If Quinn gets "cute", Purdy will light this D up. He has top weapons all over the field and all the way down the depth chart, and a coach that will have Purdy prepared to rip short, efficient passes to those weapons before the pass rushers can even get close. And they can break and shake tackles with the best of them. Have to stick with what's been working. Play smart defensive football. Let the linebackers watch the gaps, let the down four crash the edges and penetrate the middle, and play a hard shell near the markers instead of soft and off the sticks. It's what this unit does best. Blitzing and allowing even bigger gaps to throw short into, or changing up coverage styles with our weakness at outside corner will just force guys like Bland and the others to play out of the element that has won 13 games as of today. Oddly, it isn't even the D I am worried about. Quinn will have the unit prepared. It's Moore and the offense I'm concerned about. His rigidity early in games with that script of his against a powerhouse like this will cause the team to fall behind quickly, and we all know what happens when the Kellen falls behind - the run gets abandoned, Dak gets blitzed all game, and the unit puts up only 13 points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF will play a smarter game then TB for sure. On D Can LVE manage Kittle enough to slow him down. Can we contain Seebo and Macathery enough, limit the YAC. If we have to commit resources to stop the run up the middle then that will open up the edges and the quick passing game. Hopefully we can put them in 3rd long and then not break down in coverage allowing conversions. DLaw was invisible this game he will need to show up for sure next week especially against the run. On the other if SF D line can get pressure then they can for sure disrupt our rhythm on O. Bosa though is a different animal and offers a huge challenge. One thing though different this year then last is our skill players are more versatile. With Pollard Schultz Ferguson Hilton and even Brown it’s not just a two man WR show. But still the OL and Moore have to figure out a way to get Dak time to make throws down field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7188 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Well, well. I was totally wrong about my page 1 prediction and the flow of the game. Dak played the game of his life vs. the goat and his team. I didn’t think it was possible against Tampa and I deserve all the crow. Thanks @Northlandfor talking me off the ledge, that run by the 45 yr old QB was the wildest thing I ever seen. @D82 you the real MVP for the breaking the goat’s 7-0 streak with the GDT. Hope it put a fitting night cap on your birthday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtnldave Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I also had my doubts about this team. Kudos to the Boys for the win. They have to tighten up the mistakes though. Clearly the talent is there, just don't self implode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDsportsfan Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Oh my god, ya'll see McCarthy dance in the locker room. Gives white people a bad name. 🤣I say that because I'm just as bad.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 MM has really been quite a good coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromagnum Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Well the Cowboys finally got a huge monkey off their back with that dominating performance last night. I didn’t think Dak had it in him to perform like that under lots of pressure to perform. Micah abd defense showed up big time shutting down the run getting pressure on Brady consistently all night long. The one knock unfortunately is a big one. The kicker is a huge problem. It got so bad last night Dak is yelling to go for two after the second missed extra point. Not sure what they’re gonna do to ge honest but if he’s missing in practice this week you can’t let him kick against the 49ers Edited January 17, 2023 by cromagnum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not the best coach in football, certainly, but I feel pretty confident that an upgrade would be very difficult to obtain. The org is in good hands.
