The Dallas Cowboys got fantastic production out of their young linebackers in Week 6. How did Damone Clark and Markquese Bell do it against the Chargers
The Dallas Cowboys are off on their bye week in Week 7 sitting at 4-2 and in second place in the NFC East, but their aspirations for the season remain high.and it’s coming at a great time. The team began training camp in Oxnard close to 14 weeks ago and they could use a break. With the season 1/3 through, if the Cowboys make the playoffs, Week 7 in the NFL is 14 weeks away from the NFC Championship game. Dallas hopes to be playing in that game but there’s a lot of work to be done.
Some faith was restored with the win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, but the Cowboys have some work to do to prove they belong with the upper echelon of teams and that starts with more even performances.– There has been a common theme for the Cowboys in their wins, they’ve gotten out to leads and kept the pressure on offenses to keep up.
However, when the Cowboys can’t get a lead and Dan Quinn’s unit gets bullied, it spells doom. The 49ers and Cardinals both ran the ball easily, pushed around and out-schemed the Dallas defense in the team’s losses. It’s a front running defense that doesn’t like to be punched in the mouth and doesn’t seem to have a counter.
The Cowboys have also had major struggles in the red zone, where they rank 26th in the NFL at just over 39%. Once the ball gets inside the opposing 20-yard line, the play-calling gets especially dubious. It looks worse when considering how their future opponents are playing this season. Dallas is scheduled to play five teams – six games – against teams that would currently make the playoffs, which includes two games against the Philadelphia Eagles, one against the NFC North leading Detroit Lions, one against the Seattle Seahawks, and road games against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in December. That’s a tough journey over the final 11 games.
