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

[Bearded14YourPleasure]

I expect our defensive plan will be very different this next game. I expected a lot more run focus from WFT and we still only allowed 126 yards on the ground and 133 in the air for 5th in the league in yards. I expect to give up more yards next week but I think our D matches up better to causes challenges for Dak too. Should be a faster pace game. Turn Bosa loose.

More pass attempts also gives Staley more opportunities to use all of Derwin’s different skills. K9 also gets a few more chances to rush the passer I think.

Come off a losing season, lose again to start off the new season and everyone jumps on your bandwagon.....it could only happen to Dallas.

Most fans in Dallas, and objectives analysts across the nation were impressed by Dallas in Game one, loss though it was.

You weren't impressed!?

Cowboys Defensive End Randy Gregory is in Covid protocol. Could miss game.

Dallas only pass-rushing DT is already on IR. The Dallas pass rush would be mediocre even if Gregory plays. If Gregory gone we could see a very clean pocket for Justin.

That is a key loss. He is a quality WR3.
The losses to the cowgirl OL, especially if Martin isn’t able to go/full strength, could be a big liability.

Yes & No. Cowboys have pretty good #4 in Cedric Wilson.

Gallup can make spectacular plays, but he drops lotta balls. His absence won't change Dallas plans, nor the results a whole lot.

Remember guys it was exactly 1 year ago we kept saying Bosa kept tiring out too easy. Well yesterday was a hot game (90's) yet Bosa brought it all 4 quarters. The sack, fumble, the QB chase down from behind, the QB hits and hurries. Staley's system is freeing up Bosa!

He took a lot of plays on the sideline. He looked good had good explosion but he still is off the field in some key situations which is a head scratcher.

Dallas D was putrid last year. Did they get better?

I think scheme wise we match up better than vs WFT.

Sometimes guys need a breather and would hurt the team being in. Young was not in the game on the 3rd and 16 play late in the most obvious passing situation ever.

There was a complete breakdown last year in scheme, trust and assignments for Dallas D. It's better coached this year and they patched up interior run defense.

Still: Not many guys who can pressure QB, secondary is a vulnerability and anytime Jaylon Smith is on the field he is an easy target.

Another week, another Memphis RB. Gotta do better against the running game or they're going to keep Herbert off the field all day.

WelcomeTigerbolt...and agree absolutely about those two backs.

Pollard is flat better at this point than Zeke. The stats, the top analysts, PFF scores and my eyes sure see it that way. He can house a run if you don't corral him and squeeze it down.
