What have the Cowboys done before the trade to improve their defense, especially run defense? Cowboys had one of if not the worst rush defense units last season. Now that they traded one of their defensive showpieces away they should be no different than last season? Kenneth Murray is below average in run d, just an average MLB.. didn't understand why they pick him up LB used to be a strength of Cowboys but they are going to be weak middle of the field. Solomon Thomas and Dante Fowler are decent veterans. They got Kenny Clark in return for trading Parsons I see. Clark wasn't healthy playing last season, but if his health has improved then the Cowboys should be marginally better than last season on run defense. They will need it against Saquon...
Cowboys lost their pass rushing chop with Parsons gone. That means, their pass defense might get exposed they looked decent on paper last couple years thanks to Parsons and Demarcus lawrence but given enough time they can be exploited.
Overall: the first question you want to ask is when capping this game , has the Cowboys run defense gotten better? If not, advantage Eagles.
Secondly: Dak Prescott seems to get up for the Eagles, have to account for his abscence in the two meetings last season and factor that in. Cooper Rush was garbage against the Eagles lol. One thing is for certain, this won't be an Eagles blowout 34-6. 41-7.
Then there is the super bowl winners in week 1 at home, which historically has favored the home team although lately the trend hasn't been as hot.
no bets on this yet, but this is a good starting point for capping this game. feel frree to chime in. i'm gonna take a look at the Eagles roster tommorow.
