    Hopefully the line decides to block or may he rest in peace.

    Ok, forget about a win today. That’s just not going to happen. Offensively what you WANT to see Josh Rosen MANAGE the offense and sustain drives. You want run plays called so Rosen can recognize defensive lineups.

    You want run plays called for balance on offense.

    You want those run plays called to legitimately set up play action pass, the evaluate Rosen’s mechanics, read progression and making the correct throw.

    Those first 2 are big ifs, but if those two are done and executed relatively respectably, that will keep Dallas’ defense honest in their respect for the run and we should be able to get an honest evaluation of his reads and throws on passing plays.

    Defensively, the defense has to step up and stop the run and force 3rd and long. The defense has been giving up substantial positive yardage on 1st and 2nd downs which has opened up all of our opponents playbook. Have to get back to basics and shut down 1st and 2nd down.

    If we attempt to run the ball 25 times and take that pressure off of Rosen himself, regardless of the final score, I think we’re going to see a very respectable offensive output. If we ask Rosen to throw the ball 45 times and make zero effort to run, it’s going to be a blowout.

    If the team is indeed tanking, at least do so in a manner where you can get a true read and evaluation on every player at every position and every responsibility. Open the playbook and run the plays, score be damned.

    Show me something positive

    Another Sunday, another incoming blowout. Rosen is going to get his chance today, not that we're giving him much of a chance. In the end it's another L incoming.

    Dallas 38, Miami 6.

    I'm all for running the ball, but I need to see at least 3 YPC from the backs. That shouldnt be hard for an NFL team, it isnt even good.

    Just saying if Rosen is always in 3rd and long it's not the best thing either.

    Under Jason Garrett, Dallas has typically played to the level of their opponents--a frequent critique of the Garrett era.

    I don't suspect Miami will find a W, but I do think this game will be much closer than the last two.

    24-16

    If Dallas is smart, they will play to stop the run and make Rosen beat them, which will likely eliminate any semblance of a running game unless Rosen can counteract that with his own play and back them out of the box.

    There are few if any teams in the league that can steamroll an opponent in the run game, or even generate an average run game for that matter, when the opponent is playing to stop the run.

    Of course this is how teams can play you when you don’t have an adequate quarterback. They don’t have to respect the threat of the passing game because there isn’t one.

    And this is of course how the functioning of the quarterback position ripples outward to all aspects of an NFL team.

    It would be nice for the defense to keep the score under 40, while offensively we don't give up a TD to Dallas' defense and score more than 10 points. Two TDs would be swell.

    Dolphins will not score a point until the Cowboys backups are playing in the fourth quarter.
    Game will be so bad that this thread will be shorter than 5 pages.

    What you talkin' about Willis? Miami's going to win with Rosen today! All he has to do is score about 70 points and we win!

    Looks like the closing line is -22 for the Cowboys with O/U at 46.5. That means Vegas expects a score of 34-12 (ignoring the 0.5).

    Not a ringing endorsement of Rosen, but at least it's one quantifiable benchmark we can measure today's game by: does the offense score 15+ points and does the defense not allow 30+ points.

    A win today looks like:
    Rosen have more TD(s) than turnover(s)
    Losing by less than 14

    Well, holding a team to a FG is progress. Even avoiding a few three and outs on offense should keep the points given up down. Feels like a 33-13 kind of game. With Garrett coaching, make it 33-20.

    A good receiver turns towards the ball and covers up. Also I know hes hurt but you have to catch that....

    Yeah, I'm not sure how that's not a flag on Heath for hitting a defenseless player.. The reverse angle clearly shows helmet to helmet contact. Far lesser hits have been flagged

    There was no hold there, the refs are doing their part to help out a Cowboys team that won't need it anyway.

    Although, it might be Ross working the refs, to get that #1 pick.

    Here’s where the offensive line and Josh Rosen start to break down, as the opposing team realizes the Dolphins are forced to pass the ball more frequently.
