Thank you for all of your intelligent and insightful questions. We got to a bunch on today’s podcast, but we didn’t get to all of them. Everyone deserves an answer, so we are putting our heads together here and providing those answers. Let’s dive in.

What are your thoughts on the back 7 of Dallas’ defense? We know they have talent up front but what are your thoughts on the linebacker room? Also, with Diggs coming off a season ending injury and Bland set to miss the game, do you think their secondary is open to exploitation by the Brown’s passing offense? - Connor

Jake: I think the Browns would be wise to threaten the Cowboys vertically early in the game, and really throughout. Challenge Bland’s replacement, set to be 5th round rookie Caelen Carson, and see if the safety room is up the challenge as well. The Browns can’t live in fear of throwing the ball downfield in this game.

With the run scheme seemingly being updated for more easy yards and a Dallas defense best suited against the pass, which RB do you see being more productive? Is Ford just the change of pace back to Foreman/Chubb or a true backup to Chubb with Foreman at RB3 behind Ford and Chubb. - Nick

What should we realistically expect to get out of Jerome Ford? - Robert

Is Jerome Ford worth a start in fantasy against an average run D in Dallas? - Justin
