Cowboys mailbag: Questions on run defense, Mike Zimmer, and Lamar Jackson

Every week, we take questions on X (Twitter) and Facebook about Dallas Cowboys players and other issues surrounding the team. So let’s get9 right into it.

“How do we stop the run?”

Mike: The answer to that question needs to be answered this weekend. The Ravens aren’t a huge passing team but can run the ball between Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry very efficiently.

The inside of this defensive line needs to anchor and not get bullied like last week. Last weekend against the Saints the defensive tackles were often pushed back way too easily and it’s no surprise we see the team shut Jordan Phillips down with a “wrist injury”.
