Re: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday Thread
5 Game Keys!
1: Hit Tony Romo-Rib injuries hurt and the more pain we cause Romo the harder his throws will be. I expect Haslett to send some huge elaborate blitz’s against the fairly weak Dallas Oline. Look for Orakpo and Kerrigan to be in the backfield a lot. I also expect some safety blitzes with Laron Landry able to play.
2: Avoid penalties-This goes hand in hand with the first key. They of course are going to hit the injured quarterback. But you have to avoid the unnecessary roughness penalties! The refs will be on alert, the eyes will be on our players thanks to Deangelo Hall opening his huge mouth. The stadium will be loud, so we must avoid false starts and the mental errors that haunt us. The Redskins are a highly penalized team and with the heightened tensions we can’t make mistakes.
3: Get the run established and stay with it! The Redskins for the first halves have been very pass heavy. Hightower has averaged only around 30 yards the last 2 games in the first halves. If we get the run established with Tim and Helu early our passing game will be at full speed. The Dallas defence has one threat tonight, D. Ware. If we can somehow stop him there is absolutely nothing that worries me about their defence.
4: Williams vs. Ware-Williams has looked very average this season and he really needs to step up to the NFL sack leader. The Redskins will have ample double teams throughout the game but when Williams is on his own he has to impress or else it may be a long night for Grossman.
5: Feed off the energy-This is a Dallas Skins rivalry game boys, they have to come to the hoop strong and they have to keep the game intensity at a high level. We have to keep strong mentally!
