Pretenders… Dak is way too inconsistent. Their RBs suck. They are forcing Elliot and he just isn’t very good anymore. Defense is bottom 3rd in league in total yards allowed, bottom half in sacks, outside of top 10 in both passing and rushing Defense. Out of top 10 in total offense. Dont scare me at all.
Where are you getting these stats? Elliott only had 12 carries yesterday and his totals have been down especially since his injury and pollard’s emergence.
I’m not sure about Dallas’ defense stats, but according to fox, on offense they came into yesterday’s game leading the league in total offense. According to ESPN right now they are 2nd behind TB in total offense and top ten in both passing and rushing. Yet if you talk to people in Dallas they are panicking because the cowboys aren’t scoring enough and aren’t winning “pretty” and they had a lot of injuries since the NE game.
For me the offense/defense stats don’t mean a lot. Physical/tough football is what leads to wins and that’s the only stat that matters. Cowboys have the explosive playmakers on both sides of the ball. They have to improve on playing hard in the trenches more consistently and for me they have done that the past 2 weeks, especially on defense where they are getting to the QB and forcing turnovers. They had their top 3 d-lineman playing in yesterdays game for the first time this season. Almost one half of football teams pass plays were a near sack/sack or near interception. The score doesn’t reflect what Dallas did on defense, albeit i admit it was a bad Washington offense.
