Episode notes
Cowboys Prefer Four-Man Rush And Zones
- Matt Eberflus's Cowboys defense leans heavy on four-man rushes and zone coverage, prioritizing takeaways and run defense.
- That profile suggests Philadelphia can exploit single-high zone work with slot and deep shots if Dallas sells out to stop the run.
Single-High, Cover-3 Creates Zone Soft Spots
- Dallas plays heavy single-high and cover-three concepts, ranking near the top in cover three usage last year.
- That tendency creates soft spots between zones where DeVonta Smith can excel against zone-heavy coverage.
Attack With Saquon To Reduce Turnover Risk
- Do prioritize ball security early against a takeaway-focused Cowboys defense and avoid inviting variance.
- Use Saquon Barkley and controlled runs to limit turnover risk and force Dallas to adjust.
