I see every Cowboy game. The Key to beating the Cowboys is stopping the Cowboy's Offense. The Cowboys win when they score more than 20 points!
After the trade, Amari Cooper made the Cowboys a better team whether he shows up or not. 3 TD's in a game and 9 yards receiving the next game. Amari takes pressure off of Ezekiel Elliott and the other Cowboy receivers. Cole Beasley is the Cooper Kupp of the Cowboys. The young Cowboy TE's are slowly improving but the WR's are a bit beaten up. Even so Beasley limps his way into open space. Beasley is sneaky.
Ezekiel Elliott constantly looks like he's gonna get busted at the line of scrimmage and suddenly he ends up with a 5 yard gain. Defenders take the wrong angle on Elliott as he turns the corner on sweeps. Elliott is faster than he looks. Elliott is an excellent receiver! Elliott is by far the best player on the Cowboys.
The key to stopping the Cowboy offense is forcing the Dak Prescott into bad decisions. Rams defense must pressure Prescott. The 2018 Cowboy offensive line isn't as good as the 2016 version. So our Rams need to apply heavy pressure on Prescott because Dak makes bad decisions when he's hurried. You don't need to sack Dak. Just hurry him and he will short out Cowboy drives. The Cowboys offensive line HOLDS more these days then in the past but will the refs call it? One more thing- Because of the offensive line woes the Cowboy Red Zone offense pales compared to the Boy's offense between the 20's. Dak hasn't settled on a favorite Red Zone receiver.
I could nick pick but I won't. The Cowboys don't have an obvious Defensive Achilles heel. They really don't. The entire defense Over Achieves. You could argue that Eight of the Cowboys defensive players surprised to the upside. Perhaps the Ram's coaches will spot weaknesses on game tape that the rest of the NFL hasn't exploited yet. After all many of the Cowboy's defensive players are so young that maybe their flaws haven't been exposed yet?
The front seven are tough to run against. The Backside are solid. The front seven are adept at pressuring the QB. And the Cowboy defensive backs break up bunches of passes but ironically don't intercept many. That said, I'm sure the Ram's receivers will get open and if the Ram offensive line can provide time for Goff, the Cowboy defense can beaten through the air and on the ground. But it isn't easy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys use linebacker Jalen Ramsey to shadow Gurley. Ramsey is very fast from sideline to sideline.
Early in the year the Cowboy defense didn't generate turnovers. However that's changed a bit in the last several games. Although obvious, it's imperative that the Rams Not Turn the Ball over!
The Rams have the better special teams. The Tavon Austin curse continues as his punt returns for TD's are usually called back because of penalty. The Cowboy kicker isn't as accurate as Greg the Leg but that Cowboy kicker can kick a 65 yard field goal if he kicks strait. I look for the Rams Special Teams to outperform the Cowboys. I predict that Prescott will turn the ball over several times. I predict the Rams win 35- 24 boosted by one or two defensive and special team touchdowns!
