Also against an inferior offense you don't give them points or shorten the field for them so no drives for Dallas on our side of field and no defensive points scored for them.
We achieve these two keys we should come out of Dallas with a win.
While most big rushing games by RB's are rather skewed as there are always a couple big runs, outside of Joe's 31 yard run he averaged under 2 ypc. They really just need the rushing attack to be effective both on 1st down (need to average at least 4 ypc) and they simply have to convert some 3rd downs rushing the football. By doing both of these that will allow them to run more effective play-action and, more importantly, to simply keep the Dallas defense on it's heels more and having to guess.
