This is it...... And winning will be as simple as those two things.
And our hands are very full. The mis-direction running game they employ will probably kill us.
Try and envision if you will.....
Romo turns right in his drop holding the ball out like the RB will take it and head to his right..... then Romo pivots clockwise, and swivels the ball to the opposite side, meanwhile the RB jabs right and cuts left. While the LB's and defensive line initially cut to their left (offenses right) to stop the running play headed to the offenses right, the dallas O-Line block the d-line down in the opposite direction the play is actually going.
This is how Felix, and Barber have gotten most of the huge runs they have had this year.
It is effective, and our over-pursuit leaves us very vulnerable to this type of play.
I will be very impressed if we win this game. This is our Steelers game. Our Bears Game. This could set the tone for the rest of the year.
