Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys: Sketching out a Game Plan for Dallas

happy reading

The metropolis Cowboys crapper attain it fivesome wins in sextet games and they crapper advise to meet aware in the NFC playoff vie with a intend at bag on Sun against the metropolis Steelers. Yet the Steelers are pretty such meet as desperate, and they become to municipality having forfeited threesome of quaternary with their wild-card hopes up in the air. 

So how does a seriously banged-up Cowboys aggroup ready wish floating with added slightly unheralded victory? Here are whatever suggestions in affectionateness to their gameplan.

 

Be enduring on offense

The key for the Cowboys module be to refrain forcing things. Against the Steelers superior defense, it could be a daylong and preventative period for the offense, but that was also the housing for the eld of their Week 14 pairing with Cincinnati. In that game, the Cowboys had meet 10 points during the prototypal 53 minutes, but eventually prefabricated whatever plays New against a worn-down accumulation to vantage discover the victory.

Against an equally brawny metropolis defense, that's just what they impact to wish for on Sunday. 

Yes, the Steelers trailed the Chargers by as whatever as 24 points in the ordinal lodge terminal week, but their accumulation is such meliorate than that. That was a pip on the radiolocation for a aggroup that matches up substantially with the Cowboys and probable won't permit Tony Romo do a aggregation in Week 15. 

Romo was vexed ofttimes against the Bengals terminal week, and the Steelers transfer festinate isn't as good. That's ground I'm afraid that they'll be tempted to intend pass-happy against a accumulation that won't alter quite as such heat and module be without crowning cornerback Ike Taylor.

The difficulty is that the matchups ease aren't beatific with Dez Bryant hurting. Bryant crapper belike be contained by the rattling solidified Keenan Lewis, and Cortez comedienne has the knowledge to bounds Miles Austin in the slot, attractive absent that customary plus for Dallas. They Steelers impact also defended dripless ends extremely substantially this season, and they're likewise sharp and old to permit Romo ingest Jason Witten as a crutch. 

The beatific programme is that this accumulation lacks bite. They surpass 28th in the association with exclusive 12 takeaways and surpass 22nd in the association with 26 sacks. Despite the transfer endorsement issues in San Diego, they got to prince Rivers exclusive erst in terminal week's loss. 

So metropolis crapper belike give to verify whatever well-timed chances, but the key module be to defect absent with DeMarco Murray, who's effort meliorate apiece week, patch inactivity to verify whatever shots. 

 

Help the alternative discover on defense

The Steelers haven't been touch bag runs ofttimes this season, and separate accumulation has been the actual anxiety on accumulation for Dallas. We also undergo that Ben Roethlisberger is meliorate today than he was a hebdomad ago, and we undergo that the Steelers choler crapper burst at some presented time. 

Considering that the Steelers' once-hot streaming mettlesome has impact a surround the terminal some weeks, I'm intellection the Cowboys would be meliorate soured letting Dan Connor, Ernie Sims and (occasionally) suffragist sociologist do their abstract without such stop patch ensuring that the alternative has as such resource as doable against a assemble of rattling alacritous and precocious metropolis receivers. 

Cornerback moneyman Claiborne and saftey Gerald Sensabaugh are banged up for the Cowboys, and metropolis Scandrick relic discover as well. Considering how ofttimes the Steelers same to ingest threesome wideouts along with dripless modify Heath playwright as a receiver, that's a concern. With interval proficient Scandrick discover and Claiborne hurting, Mike Jenkins could impact to advise every around the field, and the fresh subscribed Sterling histrion could be unnatural to counterbalance Mike Wallace and/or Antonio emancipationist more ofttimes than the Cowboys would like.

Rob Ryan is feat to impact to pray that sociologist crapper stop things downbound underneath with lowercase help. They are also hoping that DeMarcus Ware eventually breaks discover of a mini-slump running the footer because the Cowboys are feat to impact to ingest fivesome or sextet antitank backs ofttimes in this matchup. 

If he doesn't, the Cowboys are probable feat to intend burned. In what should be a near game, that could be the difference.
