The Topic: What are your overall "keys" to this game?
Travis Evans thinks Zorn needs to just do what he does: People are forgetting we played Dallas and Philly in big games. Portis capability and Campbell's reads. Zorn must be aggressive. The defense will handle their own.
Jen Johnson sees basic football coming: Dictating tempo, establishing the run, and protecting the quarterback is something both teams ought not to forget. No one gives Campbell credit for his running ability. Earlier in the season, Jason used his legs quite effectively to keep the chains moving.
Short, quick slants to Miles Austin and Patrick Crayton will help ease Romo back into his comfort zone. Keeping the drive alive happens when you move the chains, so airing it out makes little sense if you are trying to wear down the opposing defense.
Romo hasn't had the time to develop chemistry with newly signed wideout Roy E. Williams. I think that makes Williams dangerous for the Redskins' secondary. He makes those unbelievable, over the shoulder, falling-down catches look easy.
Dallas's D-line is too fast for indecision. They thrive on immobility.
Prediction for final score: 'Skins - 24, Cowboys - 17.
Eric Moon sees several points to emphasize: On the offensive side of the ball, the offensive line has to dominate the line of scrimmage. Zorn and Campbell have to manage the game better. When in the red zone, they must get six points instead of three.
The defense must control Barber and put pressure on Romo and keep him in 3rd-and-long situations. Better return yardage on special teams is a must. If the 'Skins control the time of possession they will win the game.
Ian Murphy sees physicality as the main: The offense needs to play a physical game, protect the football and not be afraid to air it out 40-50 times this week if Portis can't go. My biggest fear this week is seeing the game come down to relying on Shaun Alexander, who is clearly ineffective as an NFL running back.
The defense needs to shut down Barber, get turnovers, and pressure the quarterback.
