Bobby Wagner vs Ezekiel Elliot

There is no doubt that the Cowgirls will feed Ezekiel Elliot all game long.
Having the best LB in the game, Bobby main job will be to stop Elliot.
This will be one of the best match-ups to watch on Saturday.
My prediction: Bobby to have 15 tackles. Elliot below 60 yards.

Interesting. He had 127 yards and 7.9 yards per carry the first time we played them so I think that's a homer prediction.

I think Zeke will get his, but it helps having KJ back. I could see us limiting him to 85-120 and limiting their pass game.

The Cowboys will definitely try to get him the ball more than they did Week 3. They'll probably get it to him on the screen a few times too.

Hopefully Wagner can diagnose them before he gets a head of steam

I think the shuffling of defensive players and lack of experience caused the confusion.
Bobby has been a monster. Tons of playoff experience. KJ is back.

I was thinking Bobby missed the cowboys game...

We are a 1 gap scheme where every man has to do his job by securing his gap. It is not Wagner vs Elliot. It is Elliiot vs whomever is in the gap that he's going to run to and the collective players that can get there to help.

Y'all are weird.

No way Zeke has 60 yards or less. They are going to feed him the ball all game because it's their best chance to win, period.

If we can keep him from under 100 that's likely a win for us.

While that clown is at it I hope call him on lowering the helmet as he does
and has been fined for it.I believe he is the only RB to be called for doing
it(2)times..Dallas line holds all the time also..Anyway as above stated BW
can only control his gap.

Why getting a lead is important, make them have to do something they would rather not be forced to do.

Nope. He played every game this year.

Yep. This is why we are 22-0 in the RW era when leading by 4 or more at halftime.

Don't kid yourself, Bobby may have 15 tackles (and a forced turnover), but Zek will probably have 120+ total yards. Poona will be the key to our front 7. Blake Jarwin is a guy that poses a threat so hopefully King can lock him down.

Sir, you are right. Pro football reference is where I get my info and I failed to notice that there was no week 2 game listed for him. My brain fart. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/ ... gnBo00.htm
No wonder we lost to Chicago.

Our coaching staff will go Patriots on them.
We will shut down what they do best and force them to play left handed.
I don't care how good Elliot is, our main goal will be to shut him down.
I know our corners are taught how to tackle, but Bobby/KJ needs to be there as well to help bring him down.

Well Said. They will employ the tactic that we will. Run the ball to control the clock to limit the amount of time Russ and Co. has to pick them apart. This game will be about clock management for both teams.

But KJ did not, which should help out immensely with the D communicating and making sure they're run sound being in the right gaps and fits.

Calitro's played pretty well, but nothing can replace the communication that Bobby and KJ have. Vital against a QB/RB combo like Dak and Zeek.

He's not wrong. Why do you think the Hawks run D was so much better with Kendricks?
