As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, Jonathan on the players.
Today, scouting the Dallas Cowboys’ defense.
ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT
Cowboys’ Run Defense
The Cowboys’ run defense has been shaky at best so far this season, struggling their first three weeks of 2024 before tightening up against the New York Giants. On the year, they’ve allowed at least 90 yards on the ground in their first three games before New York rushed 24 times for 26 yards in Week 4’s loss.
