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

Well, I guess that isn't exactly surprising, is it? lol

Truly, they expect a title every year, and are crushed when it doesn't happen.

This game? The primary matchup I'm concerned about is the Bolts' ability to stop Zeke Elliot. It's the only matchup situation that has me, as a Charger fan, sweating.

Yea but zeke aint exactly zeke without a great o line its startin to seem.

Still, the Bolts aren't, historically, great tacklers, and lesser backs have made them look like guys trying out for the local community college team.

I hope Derwin and Kyzir are there in the alleys to stand Elliot up, and tear the ball loose, but that's *my* game plan. lol

Hopefully Tillery can bring something to the table this week.
If not who would take some snaps in his place.
IDL seems to lack depth.
WFT had some success up the middle last Sunday.

Im hopin Fackrell plays and we get at Dak often.

Part of the game plan oughta be forcing Micah Parsons into coverage. The more, the better. If you watch the Bucs game, Brady was picking on him non-stop. The rookie bites too hard.

Also, anyone else notice a lack of zip on Dak’s passes? Either the injury is still affecting him or he’s purposely taking a little off his balls, going for more touch.

I guess this is what happens when you overload on DBs and carry 3 QBs. The IDL is short of depth. I hope Staley realizes the weakness in the middle of the DL and does something to mitigate the issue. Interior defensive play has been a problem with this team for years.

Been lurking over on a couple of Cowboy forums. A few of them don't think we can hang with their offense. Majority of them seem to think it's a W for them...

A Cowboys beat writer or something was on 1360 today and gave the Cowboys basically no chance. He also said it looks like Zeke is in decline.

Zeke is in decline. Last week he got thrown down by a 200 lb CB on a solo tackle inside the 10. No way that happens in 2019. Pollard is the bigger threat, especially in the passing game.

Dak’s arm strength is dubious. It’s the shoulder injury. He’s still really good, but the ball’s not exploding out of his hand like last year. He anticipates very well on outs, but tends to throw into traffic over the middle.

CeeDee Lamb’s hands are slippery. The kid flashes, but still has miscues. Amari Cooper’s an ace. Great route runner. Cedric Wilson’s a threat, too.

The Cowboy defense is skittish and lacks discipline. Inexperienced secondary and their best pass rusher is out, maybe their 2nd best, too. They still run a lot of cover 3, which, as we all know, is antiquated in today’s game.

Zurlein is usually great, but his kicks looked squirrely. Missed within 35 yards.

The "Royalty" and the surfs are staying in California, everyone else is leaving. Sad I grew up here and it was a great place to live once upon a time.

I lived in El Cajon, San Diego way in the 70's.......loved being there, almost like the Brady bunch at the time., not any more! .....live in Phoenix suburb now, would like to move back Temecula way though.

I don't have to worry about viruses because I use Linux instead of Windows.
(Windows is SO much worse than Linux it's not even close. Linux is free, MUCH faster, particularly on old hardware, has much few bugs, more stable, naturally virus resistant, etc.)

R u saying Lamb is a baaaaaad receiver?

Nope, mutton could be further from the truth. Just his concentration seems a little sheepish sometimes.
