Yeah, when you don't have faith in the defense it's kind of hard to run the ball a bunch. You feel the pressure to score. And frankly I feel much better about our chances scoring passing the ball than I do running the ball.

Sure, but because you have such dynamic receivers, you'd think you'd see some more light fronts and the OL would be able to blow some holes open.

They are getting gashed, hit in the backfield on like a full third of the carries.
 
I guess Sturm specifically noted that the Redskins were sending additional DBs to stop the run which is one of the reasons Lamb feasted and Dak threw 4 TDs, which I guess then should be basically the expectation.

He also said "I'm not sure why they want to take away Javonte but that's the choice defenses have made so far."

Yea a lot of the run stops were based on them run blitzing DB's out of the slot.

I think teams figure if they can't stop our run game they don't have a chance at stopping anything, so might as well try to stop what they can and force us into difficult down/distances, because our passing game is completely unstoppable if the run game is working.

A lot of defensive coordinators sort of focus on stopping the run first. But ultimately if I'm facing Dallas, the one things that scares me is their passing game.

Anyway, got some autographs on a helmet and football at the gameday weekend.

Booker, Flournoy, Ezeiruaku, and Aubrey, of current players.

Also Tony Hill, Larry Bown, and Everson Walls.

Charles Haley was there too but Charles Haley seems like, I dunno, a homeless person who lives on team property and they cart him out for every event, basically. I already had his autograph on multiple items so I didn't need him to sign the helmet or football a second time, lol.

And I was at a tail gate party, inside a building for about an hour to get some AC, and when I came out people told me that Dez Bryant showed up and some people got his signature too, was kicking myself over that one.

No matter how many games you go to as an adult, you can't recreate the magical feeling that live sports gave you as a kid.

Props to you for sharing that with your boy, memories that he'll no doubt hold close for the rest of his life and more so as he ages.

He's prolly gonna start wondering why you never take him along to those games in Philly though.

I mean we don't really know about Parker yet because he has only been a DC for two games. But during the offseason he seemed to push back pretty hard against the idea that he is just going to run Fangio's system. But what a person says and what a person does are two different things. What we do know is that Parker has experience in more than just Fangio, Including working with Vance Joseph.

Much like the players, too, his preseason wasn't any count.

Gotta take the @L.T.Fan approach until Week 5.
