Negative, my friend. There has been only one ode started in the history of the DCC, and EZ started it after a Sunday night Packers game. I woke up to it.

It was something like, "You can take that donation I just gave and shove it up your rotund ass".I remember that. Just trying to remember who the ode was to. Hmmm. Dude had a Jim Carrie avatar at that time.
Something about a fat rotund ass...
Who said that?

Nothing special.
Dating back to 2013, we have been able to run practically at will against Green Bay and I think we can do it again.
The key will be if our defense can get any stops and our passing game success on 3rd downs.
I know it's asking a lot, but this staff has to scheme some guys open this week.

Wrong!
The key will be if the RHG will stick to the run or decide to outsmart GB and pass every time...

Scout’s Eye: Another Powerful Opposing DT; Scandrick’s Tough Assignment
Thursday, October 05, 2017 9:51 AM CDT
By Bryan Broaddus
Football Analyst/Scout
FRISCO, Texas – Here’s my weekly look at the two matchups I think might swing this game between the Cowboys and Packers on Sunday afternoon.
Dallas Cowboys OG Zack Martin vs. Green Bay Packers DT Mike Daniels
There are some questions about whether Daniels will be available for this game due to a hip injury he suffered earlier in the season. Without question, he is the Packers’ best defensive lineman, and not having him in the lineup would be a huge break for the Cowboys.
The Packers play a three-man line like the Rams, and Daniels like Aaron Donald generally lines up as a three-technique on the outside shoulder of the guard. That means that both Martin and Chaz Green will have to deal with him at various points during the game. Daniels doesn’t have the quickness of Donald, but their power is similar. There were a couple of snaps during the playoff game last season where Daniels was able to get underneath Martin and he really had to fight hard to sit down on him as a pass rusher.
Where you really notice Daniels’ power is at the point of attack. He does an outstanding job of not getting moved out of the hole, even when dealing with combination blocks. The Cowboys had those same problems with Donald when they tried to move him, especially in the second half. Daniels can win, not only with his power but with his movement, as well. He is quick to get rid of blockers and get down the line. He can be a difficult defender to handle once he’s on the move.
Martin is going to have to be ready for a guy that will shoot his hands inside, then once he gets that control will discard him quickly. For Martin to handle Daniels in this matchup, he can’t be late with his own hands. He has to play with that power and leverage that has made him of the best guards in the league.
Dallas Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick vs. Green Bay Packers WR Randall Cobb
Jordy Nelson gets a ton of consideration as the best receiver on the Packers, and in many ways that’s justified. As much as I respect Nelson’s work, Randall Cobb is just as special. He is a football player in every sense of the word. He will be one of the most dynamic receivers the Cowboys face all season. He has the ability to change games with his skill. He shows a real passion and love for the game.
Cobb is difficult to defend due to his ability to execute in very tight spaces. The more you crowd him, the better he plays. He will line up in the slot or on the outside. He can even take some snaps at running back when the situation calls for it.
Where Scandrick has an advantage in this matchup is that he’s played Cobb before. He has seen that play-making ability and quickness. Scandrick is a smart defender and he won’t be fooled by Cobb when it comes to those little moves he uses to buy space, especially in the red zone. Scandrick knows that Aaron Rodgers tends to go in his direction in those situations where a clutch play is needed.
I’m guessing Scandrick is not likely to get any help in his game from the pass rush. The ball will be out quickly and it will be up him to react in a way that won’t allow Cobb a clean look at the ball. This will be a hard game for Scandrick to play if the officials call it close, but he honestly has no choice.
You have to be physical with Cobb if you’re going to have a chance to slow him down -- but I believe Scandrick knows this going in.

I remember worrying about it in training camp. Not sure if anybody said it wasnt a big deal because I dont want to go look but yeah... kind of a big deal.
Just change the team's name to the Arlington Walking Wounded and be done with it.

Aaron Rodgers Looks to Continue Success Against Rod Marinelli’s Defenses
By Jean-Jacques Taylor
Rod Marinelli, like a lot of defensive coordinators, hasn’t had much success beating Aaron Rodgers.
“That quarterback is something else. He’s unique,” Marinelli said of Rodgers. “I look forward to it every time because he’s such a great competitor. Competing against a competitor like that is why you’re in pro football.”
Rodgers is 13-2 against defenses Marinelli has coached in Detroit, where he was the head coach, and as an assistant in Chicago and Dallas.
He’s 3-0 in the playoffs against Marinelli, including playoff wins over the Cowboys in 2014 and 2016.
Rodgers will attempt to improve his record to 14-2 on Sunday at AT&T Stadium, when Green Bay plays the Cowboys.
Marinelli must spend this week decide whether to attack with blitzing - a tactic he doesn’t like — or whether he uses a variety of schemes with five and six defensive backs to control Rodgers.
Not that it matters all that much.
Rodgers has a career passer rating of 104.0 with 307 touchdowns and 75 interceptions; against the blitz he has a passer rating of 105.8 with 94 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.
Actually, Marinelli has spent this week preaching to his defensive linemen the importance of rushing the passer with discipline and maintaining the integrity of their rushing lanes.
Do that, and it’s possible to keep Rodgers in the pocket, where teams have a chance to contain him. Now, that’s much easier said than done.
But what makes Rodgers special is that he’s lethal when he’s on the move.
“He has an unbelievable feel in the pocket. You just don’t see guys like that,” Marinelli said. “You see scramblers, but in the pocket he has the feel to step up or move back or squirt out left or right.
“He can run, and when he breaks outside the pocket you might as well chalk it up as a completion and get ready to play the next down.”
Look no further than how Rodgers wrecked the Cowboys’ season in an NFC Divisional playoff game at AT&T Stadium last January as proof of the damage he can do outside the pocket.
On third-and-20 with 12 seconds left, Rodgers rolled left on a designed play against a two-deep zone with six defensive backs.
He threw a perfect pass to tight end Jared Cook who made a 36-yard sliding catch along the sideline that set up a game-winning 51-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Packers to a 34-31 win.
Just so you know, it wasn’t a lucky play. Rodgers had literally prepared a lifetime to make that play.
“We had good schemes when, I was growing up with a lot of boots and actions where you’re getting outside the pocket and learning how to throw on the run,” Rodgers said. “You know it’s working on that stuff in the offseason as I grew older and got to work in the quarterback school, do a lot of drills where you’re working on throwing outside of the pocket and moving at a high rate of speed.
“Then you’re just trying to be smart about listening to your body and how your movement affects the ball and you just try to lock away that muscle memory, so you remember how to be accurate when you’re running at full speed left or right — or almost full speed left or right — and trying to be as accurate as possible.”
Against Marinelli’s defenses, Rodgers is 347 of 516 for 4,252 yards with 29 touchdowns, eight interceptions and a passer rating of 104.7.
Eleven times, Rodgers has had a passer rating of more than 90.0, including six of more than 100.0. Five times, he’s thrown more than three touchdowns.
"We've had success in general over the years here but Rod is a fantastic coach, I have a ton of respect for him," Rodgers said. "I wouldn't say we've ever had it easy against them.
"It's always been battles going up against Coach Marinelli and I always look forward to the challenge."
The feeling is mutual.

That's what he said. Phil was just agreeing with him.
