Well, I was looking for some analysis on trends in my previous post.
A few weeks ago I posted some stats about the Bills pass D being so good, but a few responded that it was just a mirage because teams run so well against them. A huge part of the Bills' success in shutting down our O was running through Jordan "the Matador" Black and pounding Green, so we couldn't get our pass O going to compliment Johnson's great performance.
The Cowboys last two losses were against teams (Donks & Giants) that primarily ran against them. I see us doing the same, but with Roaf and Welborn back, we should be able to generate some vertical O for a balanced attack.
From a D perspective, the Donks picked off Bledsoe twice, sacked him once, and forced no fumbles. The Giants picked off Bledsoe twice, sacked him 4 times, and forced 2 fumbles. Our GUFs must hound Bledsoe mercilessly and force him into hurried throws. Sims has to push the pocket right back into Bledsoe's face, and Allen has to make it a personal mission to physically abuse Bledsoe. Gotta get turnovers.
