Mickey on improving the ground game:
Dallas needs to make sure they don't have a bunch of three and outs like they did in the second half. Marshawn Lynch ends up rushing for 100 yards in the second half alone, and the Cowboys barely rushed for any yards.
But a lot of people have misguided focus on why the Cowboys lost to Seattle. The real focus should be on the offensive line, which needs to play better. It needs to play better protecting Tony Romo, and it needs to play better opening up creases for DeMarco Murray.
Mickey on stopping the run:
Everybody needs to execute and carry out their assignments. The other thing that helps is if you score points, so teams can't just keep handing the ball off and handing the ball off. In order for the defense to improve, the offense must do the same.
