My keys : A healthy Portis, #1. Our offense seemed more fluid with him on the field. #2 Dallas is very aggressive, run some more misdirectional plays, especially at the beginning of the game. Try to hit them deep early, to move them away from the line of scrimmage. Run more middle screens, TE screens with Cooley. a Reverse. Dallas will be very pumped up and over pursuing in the beginning. Put Roy williams in position of coverage. HE stinks at coverage. If he lingers around the line of scrimmage all night, we will not be able to run the ball, and he will eat Brunnell for late night snack.

Defensively - Blitz, blitz, blitz. Our corners (minus springs) can not cover WR's for 4 seconds or more. (hardly any corner in the NFL can). If you pressure bledsoe early and often, hit him early and often it will produce some bad throws and maybe a pick or two, a fumble maybe. I dont think we pressured Johnson enough, which is why he converted so many 3rd downs. Keep Arch out of matchups with Witten. Carlos can not try and muscle TO at the line. No corner in the NFL can muscle him at the line. give him the 5 yards and work with him down the field. keep Taylor over the top, so when he does catch something have Taylor knock his helmet off. I would let Taylor try and send a message early to him or Glenn that they are not catching the ball around him. If it means a 15 yarder early, so be it. We need that toughness, that strut back. we did not have in the game agains Minnesota. WR were catching balls over the middle at will. We need to lay somebodies ass out so they will think twice about extending those arms. (like glenn did last year)

Special teams - Hope to god Hall doesn't need to make anything over 35 yards, and hope they let Frost kick off from the 40 so he can make it to the end zone. If our offense stalls, hopefully it will be around our 40, no further back, frost is good for a shank of 30 yards, may be two shanks.

Oh, and put a great big steak on the side line, maybe the Tuna will be distracted enough he wont worry about the game or stategies.
