Zeke Elliot (1 Viewer)

The thing is if the Saints can put pressure on Prescott he gets rattled and starts throwing jump balls all over the field.
Elliot will get his yards but they may be hard to come by against the Saints run defense.
Cooper has made them more effective and if the Saints can somewhat bottle him up it will be game on from there.
I'm not worried about the offense cause they're going to get theirs.............the defense will have to play another good game though!!
 
We struggle with QB's that are not necessarily running QB's. Dak could pick up some 1st downs on us. I think our ends will have to contain well and our interior lineman have to maintain their gaps. I don't think he can beat us with his arm alone, but extending drives can be a killer.
 
Our formula for winning is now becoming clearer:

On O, take care of the ball, keep Drew clean, run the ball.

On D, contain the run, limit big plays in the passing game.

On STs, Lutz stays consistent. Limit any big plays in coverage, n take care of the ball in the return game ( Side note: I thought we gave up too many yds n field position in coverage vs ATL. That needs to be cleaned up!).

Limit penalties.

When we do those things, everything else takes care of itself!

I’ve got big respect for Zeke. IMO, he’s the best back we’ll face so far this year. Better than Gurley? I say yes, because Zeke is more of the focal point of the Dallas O, yet remains very effective as both a runner n receiver. So limiting him takes away a lot of what the Cowboys wanna do offensively.

I love how our D is playing right now. I think they’ll take care of business and we’ll come away with the win.
