3 poor teams we've faced/going to face, three fan bases talking as if the they're the SB champs. What was Dallas, 8-8? Fearsome. They got us good last year yes, but we were a better team last year over the last 8 games.
Unfortunately the Cowboys offensive line is one of the few that may not need as much help from a blocking TE.
Cowboys defensively are ranked 12th overall right now. 5 spots ahead of the Rams. The defense has definitely been a surprise.It's funny to me that none of the comments by the Cowgirls fans mentioned their defense. I think their offense could very well have success, but they're completely leaving out the fact that their D is quite suspect. I think if our O can turn some of our FG drives into TDs this week that we have a chance. IMO we should score 24+ to beat Dallas. And I think it's possible. They lost Ware, Ratliff, Hatcher, Lee and Claiborne and Carr have underperformed since coming to Dallas. I also think we can have success on the ground, and without Lee (who's a good cover LB) I think Cookie could have a nice day.
I think we play Murray similarly to the way we played AP week 1. Bring TJ down near the box to help limit his yardage at times. IMO we should shade Jenks to Dez's side of the field bc I prefer that matchup to having EJ cover Dez
Last year Callahan knew how Waufle coached techniques and had his guys grab the triceps of our guys and ioutcoached Waufle. That won't happend again . . .Wale will be prepared and Rams will get off the blocks and make tackles.If you lock down Dez, Demarco is literally all they have left. If Janoris locks him down, it opens the door to stack the box.
I guess I don't get the disappointment. We're near the middle of the pack in team defense after two games in a new defensive scheme. Had the offense carried their weight in week one we'd be even better.

It's also only been two weeks. And the first week, they gave up 28 points. Their rush defense gave up 116 yards on 23 carries(5.0 ypc) to Hyde and Gore and 73 yards on 11 carries(6.6 YPC) to Greene, McCluster and Sankey.
The Cowboys can be run on. The Rams just need to keep from falling behind early.
