[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 681894, member: 9033"] Good points but this really only helps if you can go through and adjust every other teams's run defense by their opponents. Luckily, that's what Football Outsiders does. They currently have the Packers with the second best run defense in the NFL (19th against the pass). Now for the scary part, the Dallas rushing offense is the best in the NFL by a massive margin according to Football Outsiders. The difference between Dallas and the second best rushing offense (Atlanta) is equal to the difference between Atlanta and the 15th rush offense. Not sure there's a lot of "scheme" that Capers is going to be able to rely on in this game. The Cowboys offense is fairly simple (for Prescott's sake) and basically relies on a terrific oline just demolishing people. Ezekiel Elliott, prior to last week, had broken a total of three tackles and yet he was still rushing for a ton of yards, that should tell you how big the holes that dline is creating really are. At some point all Capers can really do is ask his guys to not get absolutely destroyed by the Dallas oline. Granted, he can certainly bring safeties up to help since the Dallas receivers aren't very scary but that Dallas oline doesn't really have weaknesses. It's gonna be interesting to see how well the Packers' front seven can do against those guys. [/QUOTE]
