KEYS TO PULLING OFF A WIN in DALLAS

[MTK]

Defense: We need to be able to put pressure on Bledsoe with our front four. It's obvious that with Springs out out of the lineup it hurts our ability to blitz and leave our corners matched up one on one in coverage. That being said, when we do blitz guys need to step the hell up. Rogers especially.

Overall the defense needs to get stops. If we allow Dallas to convert on 50% or better on 3rd downs forget about it, it will be a very long night again.

Offense: Better execution in the redzone is key. We can't come away with 3 FGs again. That's just not going to get the job done. I think we need at least 3 TDs in this game. That's not too much to expect from this group of offensive talent.

The pass protection needs to shore things up. We had too many instances against the Vikings where Brunell was feeling the heat or getting flushed out of the pocket.

The running game needs to get cranking early. I don't care who it is, Portis, Betts, or Duckett, someone needs to establish the run to help keep the Cowboys defense on their heels.

Overall, the offense needs crisper execution and we need to play physical up front.
