Cowboys Wk 4

[jsarno]

I NEVER think we will lose, and I stay positive all the way until the final whistle blows...that's just who I am. That being said, there are only two teams that I feel are elite teams right now, that's Dallas and Denver. Can we beat them? Certainly! But we need to be better in all facets of the game to do so.

We're gonna have to play a hell of a ball game. My worry is them running Barber straight at our smallish DE's. He's an animal.

Taylor is no slouch to stopping the run.

He's been pretty awful at it his whole career. Maybe he'll be better here because we have more help for him at the second level. If he is going to be better, we didn't get any of that today.

Things to keep in mind, TO had a quiet game against GB, that's means next week they'll be trying to give him the ball a lot. The Cowboys added another weapon to their arsenal, Miles Austin and Felix Jones is very dangerous. For us Devin Thomas is starting to produce even if he made some bone head plays, hopefully Kelly will be ready for more action next week. I think the keys will be our DB's against their WR's and stopping Barber and Jones. We need to play aggressive and not be intimidated, our OL needs to win in the trenches. Should be a good one I hope.

Dallas' MONSTER OL. Colombo-318, Davis-353, Gurode-318, Kosier-305(midget), Adams-340

Skins DL. Taylor-244 (listed on nfl.com, probably 255), Griffin-303, Gholston-298, Carter-253

Blache is going to need to scheme this game perfectly because we're outmatched on paper. The O must also control the clock in a big way.

Would you add San Diego to this if they thrash the Jets tonight?

I assume that would be the next step, seeing as how they played your #1 team to a virtual tie in Denver.

They are 0-2. Granted they had a blown call that lost them a game, but it should have never came down to that. They are not elite right now...IF they crush the Jets, and that would depend on how they crush the Jets they still won't be elite, but they would be hovering around 10-13 on the power poll. The Jets are average (between 13-18 on the power poll), so beating them isn't exactly a huge thing.

San Diego certainly has the talent to be an elite team, but they are not playing like one at all. Is it coaching? Maybe. Who knows at this point. Could they be elite in 2 or 3 games, absolutely. So tonight is not the deciding factor.

ps- it's 17-14 SD right now.
