^^^^True statement. Zeke forces defenses to stack 7-8 guys up front ...leaving easier coverages. Zeke doesn’t “suck”, isn’t “over paid”, nor “lazy after the contract”. He’s getting defensive coordinators trying to prevent him from gashing them and this is making Dak’s job easier. One of the Ticket hosts and I believe an ESPN radio host did a similar study to compare Zekes numbers from the 2017 season to the 2018 season. The study was based around 1. Down/distance; and 2. numbers in the box. His ykards per carry are down but so are his number of carries vs. an 7-8 man front. The 'eye test' (and film) also suggested he is not making the first contact miss as he did last year. I think missing training camp hurts no-matter what anyone says. It's a rhythm and flow thing.

Dak and the Cowboys have a chance to get a defining win Sunday....nobody gives them any chance of course. Nobody has won in the frozen northeast in 25 months. Number 1 offense against number 1 defense. Dallas should be looking at everything they did well last week, and do something else. Don't play to the Pats strength. Use Zeke and Pollard at the same time the whole game, run big on big until they stop you because that secondary is not like any other secondary Dak played. If he throws the ball 46 times he will lose. If he proves me wrong I will be more shocked than I have ever been watching the Cowboys. Find a way to absolutely come after the old stationary one relentlessly for 60 minutes and who knows what might happen.

Very well said, I give the Cowboys very little chance of going there and coming away with a win, if they remain status quo as far as the way they play I give them 0 chance. The Cowboys are going to have to have a couple of big turn overs or they need Brady to twist his ankle or have to go into concussion protocol call in order to have a chance.

I think they will make the playoffs. They have the talent and a top 5 QB. Dallas DOES NOT have a Top 5 QB! https://www.footballdb.com/stats/stats.html?

Not going to argue about who is the MVP, all the stats they post up are all nonsense, how could any of them hold water because all teams do not play each other, just like the stupid number 1 defense New England has, who the hell did they play ?

Hard not to give it to Jackson so far. He is the key to that team's success. He is an absolute beast at what he does. I would put Wilson second and after that its a toss up with Mahomes, Dak McCaffrey, Cook etc.

Bottom line for me is I’m glad Dak’s my teams QB. Don’t give a chit what anyone else says.

Line up Bennett next to Quinn and have them go after Brady on every play. Accept a few personal fouls for late hits. Hit him hard and often. Lawrence and the linebackers play the run. On offense ,self scout , break tendencies, throw out everything that has worked , show some imagination on play calling. different game plan for first and second halves, to throw off halftime adjustments,, Might just have a chance

Coach Harkness said stats are for losers Fouz! Yep, stats and rankings don’t mean anything. The stat they go by is who has the most points after 60 minutes. Everything that happens in that 60:minutes doesn’t mean squat. Who’s on the left side after the game is the most important stat. You agree txmaster???
