They apparently do this analysis by projecting billing zip codes. That means this is only fans from the Dallas area and doesn’t even include all the L.A. based Cowboys’ fans.
We have a legit shot to actually have more Cowboys’ fans in the stadium than Rams fans!

Goff is going to have a hard time calling signals in his own stadium.

Aaron Donald Sacks This Year
I'm kind of tired of hearing about the force of nature that Aaron Donald is and how he will dominate our offensive line. Now, don't get me wrong I do agree that he's a great player but I wanted to look into his per game sack total.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/16716/aaron-donald
49ers (2 games) 5 total sacks
Seattle (2 games) 3 1/2 sacks
Cards (2 games) 3 sacks
Obviously you guys see my point there. The majority of his sacks were against division foes with weak offensive lines. In my opinion ours is better even though we are without Frederick. I think that we can contain Donald from dominating.
------------
Donald is the best defensive player in the NFL. I think trying find reasons to detract from his absurd stats is laughable.
------------
Aaron Donald had 106 QB pressures this year. Cox is the only DT even close to him. The 7th best pass rushing DT in the NFL had 53. He literally had the greatest pass rushing season for an interior D-lineman ever. His job isn’t to compile sacks, it’s to force the QB into doing something he doesn’t want to do. And he was better at it this year than any DT has even been in the history of the national football league.
------------
I think the threat is that he can make a game changing play at any given moment.
He’s in my top 5 most dominant defenders of the past decade, so he’s definitely going to present a challenge.
If this were the 2014-2016 OL I’d feel much better about facing him.
-----------
Aaron Donald is the best Defensive Player in the League right now, IMO. He's going to give anybody fits. If you are going up against Donald, you better be ready because he is going to come to play.

Remember, Dak is a QB who has a tendency to hold the ball too long and take unnecessary sacks. Donald should get 2 or 3 against Dallas. That means the rest of the time they need to make positive yards and avoid the costly holding penalties that end drives.
The Rams give up 5.2 yards per carry against the run. That's a lot and some argue its because they rush all the time. If Zeke can break a few with Dallas taking advantage of Donald's aggressiveness, maybe then can force him to slow down a bit. In any case, he is going to make plays. They need to factor that into their game plan.
------------
Donald IS that good. He gave Dallas fits last time they played and Fred-Martin were both healthy.
------------
Judging a player using only sacks is lazy.
Best defensive player in the league, constantly double teamed and still has those numbers. From the interior.
------------
Obviously one of the best DL in the league.
The point the OP was trying to make is that most of those stats came against probably the worst division in the NFL.
The reason they have the worst run defense in the league is because teams don't try to run on them because they are usually behind and are playing predictable pass downs. The DL plays most of the games with their ears pinned back.
They have some great players on the DL. If they want to focus on stopping the run then they will be able to do it. We just have to make them pay with our passing game. We have to keep the score close and be unpredictable with our offense.
First series just come out and throw safe, short, intermediate chain moving passes until they get out of their defensive game plan. Take some shots down the field.
Their defense is going to come out thinking that all they have to do is stop Zeke and make Dak beat them. All we have to do is be unpredictable and keep them off balance, and then Zeke can carry the load. Dak has to play like a grown *** man.
-----------
He can mess up the running game too and i suspect wade will want him to play the run more this game.
-----------
Aaron Donald is a d tackle/nose in a 3-4 that isn’t even big enough to play that position and he has 20 sacks
Those guys are considered elite if they get 5
He is absolutely the best player in the nfl hands down and we need to get a body on him his stats are no where near inflated
------------
If you are looking for positives, Connor Williams matches up better against quickness than power.
Aaron Donald wins with quickness off the snap. Connor Williams best asset is quickness. His foot quickness is about as good as you'll see for a Guard.
It's still a rookie vs the best pass rushing DT in the league but it's likely better if Williams is blocking Donald than Suh.
Another positive is that Zack Martin is an All Pro and he has had two weeks to rest his knee.
