Chargers Open As A 3 Point Favorite Over Dallas - Pre Game Discussion

[Bolts&noles]

Dallas will have two vulnerabilities along their o-line.

In a much criticized decision McCarthy is not moving Cowboys all-pro Martin over to tackle...which would have allowed them to play promising young Connor McGovern at guard. Instead they are starting undrafted 2nd year player Terrence Steele, who had a 50.3 PFF score last year. Steele is a try-hard guy who has neither good technical skills nor much athleticism.

You might already have heard this news. What's the second weakness?

Dallas's young center has simply not developed and looks over-matched. Tyler Biadasz couldn't hold down the starting job last year and despite work in the offseason, the kid only posted a dreadful 39.7 PFF score against Tampa Bay. (that's not a score you'll see often)

Without providing help for these two weak links the Cowboys would helplessly watch Linval Joseph and Bosa feast. So Dallas will likely be sacrificing a tight end or back to help block, and won't be able to deploy the full playbook.

Prescott looked good but also seems to have some off target throws.
Is this accurate or is it just a bad throw or two?
Haven't watched enough games but his arm seems a little off sometimes.

Thank you. I’ve never been referred to as royalty before.

did you mean serfs? Or was that a pun?

It was a pun for California indeed.

I cant see the Chargers gifting the Cowboys 4 TO's. Unless we have the same ref crew. The guys in DC were fucking retards, then when NY had a chance to save face they were too busy surfing porn to be bothered with a football game.

If Herbert is throwing from a clean pocket, and Dak is getting pressure, I like our chances to win the turnover battle. But in an individual game, so many things can happen.

I too lost faith long ago in the NFL's refs and "review system". Whattyado?

Some say his lat muscle injury from early in camp won't fully heal until offseason...and that he will have to manage/endure, perhaps with cortisone injections. Cowboys officials tight lipped about that. And Dak doesn't seem quite as nimble from that gruesome foot/ankle injury.

That said he stuck in the pocket and dealt a lot of seeds in that first game. Dak is a warrior and a leader for his team, I do respect him for that.

To be honest I didn't think he was that accurate coming out of college.
Done better then I thought.
Hopefully we see some off target throws on Sunday.
Do not want to lose to the cowboys.
I know to many bandwagon fans,boss,friends etc..
Even rent out my basement to a friend who's a fan.
I wont be inviting him up.
Get to wacth this all by myself at home.
Plus the media ,which I cant stand 99% of no matter what the subject.

Bosa Burgers. He’s hungry and he’s pissed off about that last game. Pretty sure the Cowboys wanted him in the draft too.

And some freakin lasers from Herbie. Bet the over.

Dak was good vs standard pressure but excelled vs blitz.

Need to get home rushing 4.

[equivocation]

Cover 1 man on a 6 man blitz. Slot CB can't keep up from inside leverage. Safety gets split. This isn't the type of D we run for this reason. They had no chance to stop this.

[equivocation]

More Dak burning Cover 1 blitz. 13 was open too.

Dak was good, and Moore's plan was savvy. They used a short passing game as an alternative to the run game, throwing outside a lot.

I'm not sure Charger safeties will need to respect the deep threat. Seems there was only 1 pass attempt around 25-30 yards (air distance under 40). I'd scout Dak in pregame. Is he even trying to throw deep with professional level zip?

[equivocation]

Meanwhile the Cowboys played press man either head up or outside leverage from what I've seen. Matching CB to WR. Use motion and bunch for clean releases. Mostly Cover 1.
