This year, we see our Boys come out like Mike Tyson, and give you everything they have quickly, try to score early and get the lead, and if you can survive the opening barrage, you might beat them. Once the game gets to a pass rush situation, we will keep pummeling you until you get knocked out. And Mike Tyson is the one who coined the phrase – "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." That’s our Cowboys. If you can ‘out-physical’ them, or get the lead early, you take away from their strengths no matter what your win-loss record.
What type of team does that?
- Teams that run well. Takes our defense out of game and on field too long.
- SF, PHI, and ARZ all top 10 Rush/YardsperGame offenses.
- No team we beat is top 10.
- Teams that score early. This team is not used to playing from behind. Pass Rush and Turnovers happen when we have the lead.
- SF, PHI and ARZ all top 15 1st Half Points/Game.
- No team we beat is top 15 except Chargers, a close game.
- Teams that gain good yardage each down. Limits our pass rush on 3rd/4th downs, and our D is not as good at short yardage.
- SF, PHI are top 10.
- No team we beat is top 10.
