We all need to celebrate a huge win on the biggest holiday eve of the year. The whole nation will be watching.
This is a game to make or break the Boys. If they win, they will be reborn as Super Bowl contenders, winning on the road against the AFC’s 2nd best team. If they lose, they will be declared fading losers, chokers and Dak will forever be known as the one who shrinks in big time. The team will be depressed to no end, and so will all fans.
Therefore, this has to be the Boys’ top performance all year, on offense and defense, brilliant offensive and defensive game plans, minimal penalties, no turnovers by our offense and forcing the Fins into turnovers. Do not let the Fins’ receivers take it to the house. Destroy the Fins’ OL, get into Tua’s face all game long. Dominate. Control both sides of the line.
There will be a lot of Cowboys’ fans there. Give them continuous reasons to get loud.
This is a dangerous opponent with two fast-accelerating running backs with breakaway speed, plus two dangerous speed merchants at WR, Tyreek Hill and James Waddle. The Boys will need to play a more traditional 4-3 defense. Micah should not be on the line all the time. He should be positioned at LB most of the game. There needs to be run containment with our fastest LB. The Fins have had may injuries on their OL. Their center, our former Connor Williams, is out for the year.
Our DT’s must have their game of the year, getting into the backfield to cause TFL’s and put pressure on TUA. Early last year, we saw Armstrong making a lot of great plays from RDE. That is his best position. He needs to make an impact. Lawrence needs to reach back in his memory to get to the QB.
Dan Quinn cannot be outcoached like he was against Buffalo. He needs his best game plan for this Sunday. The season is on the line. The Boys urgently need an early frenzy to score early and stuff the Fins early to take out the crowd, South Florida’s reborn fans on a holiday eve. The fans will be in an extra loud spirit, so some explosive scoring by the Boys is needed early in the game. Cooks needs to be our speed guy for big gains.
Dak has to go in like he must score early and often and not to go easy. McCarthy needs to devise a brilliant game plan that features some big-gaining plays. The Boys owe it to burn the cocky CB Jalen Ramsay. He interfered with Gallop in that Rams playoff game.
We all need to celebrate a huge win on the biggest holiday eve of the year. The whole nation will be watching. The Cowboy Nation needs a win. No excuses.
