Cowboys vs. Seahawks: Five bold predictions as Dallas invades

Seattle Seattle is a weird place when it comes to recent Dallas Cowboys history.Tony Romo’s infamous first playoff game came in Seattle. The greatest regular-season win of this current brain trust happened there four years ago. The state of the franchise as a whole was completely altered there in the preseason just two years ago. It’s a weird place.It makes sense that things would be a little weird for the Cowboys when visiting a weird place. They’re shooting for a 2-1 record http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/jeff-heath-jersey-cheap , they’ve never not been 2-1 under Jason Garrett through three games, and to get there they’ll have to maybe go through Earl Thomas. I told you it was weird.Let’s get weird ourselves. It’s time for bold predictions around BTB. How weird do you want to be?Ezekiel Elliott will lead the Cowboys in receptionsCan anybody tell me the most times that Zeke has ever been targeted in the passing game through his sort career? I’m not going to make a Bueller joke, but I am going to keep buying you time while you think and I continue to write this sentence. Time’s up.Elliott’s career high when it comes to targets is a perfect seven (shout out to Monica Geller). When was Zeke targeted this frequently? Only on December 24th, 2017 when the Dallas Cowboys hosted these Seattle Seahawks. Zeke has been targeted five times on six separate instances, but they’re all tied for third when it comes to his most-targeted days. We’ve seen Dak Prescott look Zeke’s way seven times once as mentioned and also six times in a lone instance. When was that? Only last week against the New York Giants.The Cowboys have used Zeke a lot in the passing game (relatively) lately. The Cowboys have also historically (relatively) used Zeke a lot in the passing game when playing Seattle. You do the math.The Hot Boyz will have no less than five sacksThis sounds pretty modest for a group as prolific as The Hot Boyz (the name bothers some people Youth Brett Maher Jesey , but I dig it personally), but it’s not like they’re going to rip off six sacks every week of the season (only twice, you know, when they play Eli Manning).Seattle has allowed Russell Wilson to be sacked in each of their two games so far this season. It only makes sense that they let THB get in on the action they’ve been spreading across the league. Unlike last week, somebody on the Cowboys is going to have multiple sacks. Consider that a prediction within a prediction. Predictionception!Rico Gathers will catch the game’s first touchdown... seriouslyThe world almost saw the internet get destroyed last week when Dak Prescott targeted Rico Gathers in the endzone. Had they connected Cheap Travis Frederick Jersey , we’d all be lost in space at this moment. Did you know that the last time the Cowboys visited the Seahawks in the regular season that the first Dallas touchdown was scored by a tight end that people wanted to see worked in the passing game? I’m talking of course about the legendary Gavin Escobar, and while Rico Gathers seems to have many more people’s eye than Escobar did, the want for him is similar across the fanbase. Gathers is getting in the endzone today. What better time than a weird time?Chris Jones will boom a punt that travels at least 70 yardsThere’s a lot that’s usually said (including by myself) about that 2014 game in Seattle, but one thing that’s typically lost in the memory of it all is that that was the day Dan Bailey became the most-accurate kicker in NFL History. Talk about good times.Chris Jones isn’t on any historic precipice or anything entering this game, but he is an all-around awesome punter. At some point his number is going to get called and he is going to boom it. Much is made about Seattle’s rookie punter Michael Dickson Cheap Josh Rosen Jersey , look for the Puntisher to put him in his proper place.Dallas will make it eight consecutive quarters without trailingOne of last week’s bold predictions was that the Cowboys would lead after every quarter. Not to toot our own horn or anything (immediately toots horn), but that happened. Shout out once again to the incomparable Eli Manning.The Cowboys are currently on a four quarter streak where they haven’t trailed. They’re going to double that in Seattle. That’s right, I said double. Look for the Cowboys to take the lead and never look back against a Seahawks team that is struggling just about everywhere except quarterback. Let’s have some fun.Travis Frederick gives the latest update on his medical condition & efforts to play The status of Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick remains a mystery, but the All-Pro did speak to the media for the first time in quite a while on Thursday.So much of the future with Frederick is uncertain. When will he be ready to play? Will he ever? Who is going to make that decision? Is it going to be Frederick? Whoever is making it, when will it be made? The sum of it all is we don’t know and likely won’t for some time.Frederick’s diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome took Cowboys supporters everywhere by surprise and his health remains of paramount importance in terms of priorities. Obviously we’d love to see him back on the football field Cheap Christian Kirk Jersey , but Travis the person takes precedence over everything else. Something of note happened on Thursday in addition to Fredrick speaking for the first time in two weeks, a bit of a clearance of sorts. An important one, it would seem.Frederick continued to speak about his recovery, and how the doctor’s caught the disease early in its development.Let’s continue to hope all remains well with Frederick.
