I do wish a Cowboys fan would come in here to actually talk about the game, that might be cool
You guys have the upper hand at the moment, but it’s still a divisional team against a divisional rival.
Cowboys got a lot of players back on defense last week and the 2 new additions. There should be some big improvement on that side of the ball.
As far as Micah Parson goes – I know it’s in your best interest to try and frame the narrative that it was awful to let him go, but nobody wants that dude in Dallas. Period. This is coming from one of his biggest fans. He is selfish on and off the field. A locker room distraction.
I dare say it but DJax was right about him.
As far as this particular game goes….
Your offense is hot garbage when you consider the embarrassment of riches you trot out there. Your quarterback plays like it’s 1927 but is fortunate his receivers play in this eras ruleset.
Your defense is still suspect. Your secondary is still a liability. Rod Woodson and Ray Lewis aren’t walking through that door.
You guys play to your competition this year so it should be close. Cowboys aren’t good but neither were the Giants when they beat you.
Cowboys have nothing to lose.
I agree with most of this other than the bolded. The additions of the trade of Jaelan Phillips - who already knows this very complicated defense AND getting Nolan Smith back at the same time have been season changing alterations. The Birds have really got no pass rush from the edges for much of this year, hence making the secondary appear more suspect than it actually is.
But I will acknowledge the gains you guys have made too, obviously adding Williams and getting Overshown back help the defense. Just unsure how much it will help (or really matter lol against our offense) but I do have hopes for success against it. I just don't see a pass rusher besides Williams that really I feel I should worry about.
Quinyon Mitchell is easily a top 10 CB in the league right now, just unsure how high high he is up there, I'd like to believe top 5 going off of some of the metrics I have read about him
Right now he is allowing 41.9% completion % on his targets, and if I recall, Pickens didn't do much game 1.
But I digress Like I said, 2 additions to both teams (although Nolan did play week 1, but Carter did not so even stevens) have definitely made the defenses of the past 2 weeks for both of us look different than it did for the first say 6-8 weeks, I think we can agree on that.
Should be a fun matchup and as and Eagles fan we have 3 road matchups left on the schedule against top level passing attacks and this is the 1st stop.
I think we rattle Dak and get in his face a lot and force turnovers, but maybe thats just me being biased.
The offense? I think we go run heavy and actually have success doing it
Passing game will not be great volume, but efficient
