Defense concerns
The Cowboys defensive unit currently struggles with inconsistent pass rushing and poor fundamental tackling, leaving them vulnerable to any opposing quarterback.
Coverage vs Rush
Effective defensive performance requires the coverage and pass rush to function in unison, with neither unit currently operating at a high enough level.
Game plan goals
Successful execution for the upcoming game relies on controlling the trenches, establishing a dominant run game to manage time of possession, and getting perimeter playmakers early touches.
Injury status
Return-to-play protocols and injury management for key contributors should focus on availability rather than artificial pitch counts for a team that lacks depth.
Game predictions
Expectations for the upcoming division matchup lean toward an outcome where the roster finally executes effectively despite current injury challenges.
