Eberflus' knowledge of Dallas' scheme and personnel . . .

[zibby43]

. . . could be a pretty decent advantage for the Colts this week in setting up the game plan against the Cowboys.  It's not so much the knowledge of the scheme or calls (which can be changed), it's knowing where to attack the personnel.

 

Kind of reminds me of when Patricia's Lions went up against his former team earlier this year.

 

Don't mind the fact that the Cowboys had to leave their guts on the field to get a win in OT against the Eagles.

Eberflus has done well against two NFC east opponents when we played the Eagles and Redskins so hopefully that translates over to the next two games.  I think we just need to limit Zeke and Coop.

He should have a vast knowledge of personnel weakness/strength. Maybe even some key tells.

Agreed they just keep Cooper and Elliott from beating them and put lots of pressure in Dak's face he will throw picks so putting pressure in his face all game is a must.

Hadn't thought of this until I read the title.

 

Now I'm like....

I am not sure he will add a lot to the game plan.  Dallas is not a sophisticated scheme.  They r pretty basic on offense.  I think they will play a or if zone as Dak likes to cough  up the ball.  I think they will play our offense the way they played Philly.  Alot of man

But he knows their personnel (e.g., which offensive formations put the weakest defensive personnel groupings on the field for Dallas, who to run out on the d-line, who to target in the LB and secondary corps, etc.). 

 

The NFL is all about creating favorable match-ups.  I think based on personnel knowledge alone he could add a lot to the game plan.
