It’s hard not to beat a team with that much success on the ground, at home. Turns out the cowboys were telling them when to run.

Not just when but EXACTLY where, which is a huge advantage against a team that stunts as much as Dallas.

Imagine knowing you'll have the center and a guard getting free shots straight to the LBs near every run while one of the Dlineman basically takes himself out of the play by vacating his gap on an outside stunt.

You down block the DE trying to cut in and wall him off while running right through the aforementioned gap vacated by the DT stunting outside.

Now it's basically on the LBs to be able to keep themselves clean against a much bigger Olineman running dead at them with a full head of steam, and if they can't then the safety has to save the TD or the corner has to make a great play running inside and back.

If you haven't watched the replay of that game I highly recommend you do.

That’s wild. Yeah I actually missed that game due to a wedding party. I want to watch the replay.

Reminds me when JJ Watt anhillated the Miami dolphins by timing their snap counts off of hard knocks
