JK Scott has had a consistently positive impact on games w/ great kicking.

Loved Z Smith getting in Dak's face after one of the interceptions.

I'm confused as to the night and day difference in the run game between the Eagles and Cowboys games. In the Eagles game, I'm not sure a single run play occurred where the back wasn't hit in the backfield. Was it a change in relative talent (Oline to Dline), better performance by the back, just better execution...?

I love the record but want to see how the D holds up to a higher level QB than we have faced. Dak got plenty of yards, but had some bad picks. I doubt we get that lucky against higher level QBs.

The only thing I didn’t like about him getting in Daks face was that it could have got him a big penalty.
Same thing with Aaron Jones waving “by by” as he scored. That could have negated the TD.
Jones just seemed to get in a groove. I don’t know if it was that the Eagles D was that much better then the Cowboys, or if our O-line is getting its collective butts together.
This next game may show which it is.

I guess instead of trying to work around The 'Boys fast Lb's they decided to run right at them and found success.

Maybe someone with a little more knowledge about the "Zone" blocking system can explain it better.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

To my eye the biggest difference in the run game was, for the most part they ran it out of the pistol shotgun. This provides more of an RPO threat and loosens the defense.

I still don't know that we can line me up nose to nose and get 2 yards....but I liked what I say alot more

Another thing that may have helped is we have better guards this year. I also question how good our tackles and TEs are at run blocking, I think they are better pass blockers. JMHO

I also like the idea of Matt adapting to his players.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
