This morning I heard:
-The Cowboys need to keep it to 25 passes
-Marion Barber is the biggest threat in the league
-If the Cowboys try to throw, the Giant pass rush will eat them alive, they are unstoppable
-Manning is a better QB this week than Romo
-The Giant D is playing great (um, last week was against Tampa and the week before we ran up a ton of points on them. I guess they measure this by the hour?)
Now comes all of the "Jags are tough" talk.
Lets take a look at why this is being said.
#1, since they cannot effectively pass the ball, they run a lot. I don't know how conservative play calling indicates toughness. They run it about 1 time a quarter more than we do. Damn that toughness will be hard to deal with.
Defensively, they give up more rushing yards than us, and we have 27% more sacks.
Its just funny to me. We run the ball almost as much as them, we play better defense, we allow less rushing yards, and sack the QB more. But since they are afraid (or incapable) of throwing the ball that makes them tough and us soft.
We will blow this team out. There isnt a matchup on the field that we are weak in. If we play our style, we will beat them handily. If we played THEIR style we would still beat them handily.
