I agree -- sprinkling in Helu early might help, so that it isn't clear whether he's a runner or a receiving back. It could also help slow down the edge rush a bit as well by forcing Dallas to account for a back out in the flats. If the Redskins can establish that as a real threat, it ought to open up some room in the middle for Alfmo, and it might cause the DBs to come up closer to the line, allowing Robinson and Garcon to blow past them (again).
I will say this, if we go down to Dallas and win, JJ won't be spouting any nonsense about moral victories, that's for sure.
