Dallas Cowboys: Three Ways to Slow Down Russell Wilson

2. Be aggressive with play calls

This works on both sides of the ball. It was the number one complaint about the Jason Garrett era in Dallas is that he wasn’t aggressive enough with his play calls. So far, fans seem to be happy with how McCarthy is calling the shots.

It will have to be the same on Sunday for the Dallas Cowboys. On the offensive side of the ball, push the ball down the field in the passing game. They will have to take some chances and go for it on fourth down to keep drives going. More deep shots down the field could mean big plays for Dallas to keep Russell Wilson and Seattle behind on the scoreboard.

This also includes aggressiveness from Nolan and the Dallas Cowboys defense. Bring more blitzes and switch it up on Wilson to rattle him. It’s been documented that Nolan’s defense is more complex than the defense they ran last season. This could work in Dallas’ favor by adding more exotic formations to the defense on Sunday.

This game could mean big things for the Dallas Cowboys’ season to walk away with a win on the road. That’s why it’s smart to be aggressive and throw off Wilson’s game.
