Nick Bosa, the highly touted defensive end for the 49ers has just fired a shot at Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. He says that they are ‘definitely beatable’. This is in response to reports from earlier this week stating that Tony Romo was looking to match up against Ezekiel Elliott on Sunday for his first regular season game back with them. The Cowboys will certainly be without their best player, but does it mean an easy win?
The “49ers players” is a team that has been on fire this season. Their defense has been dominating and the offense has been doing well too. The Dallas Cowboys offensive line is definitely beatable, according to Nick Bosa.
The NFC Wild Card Round matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys is only a few days away. The 49ers are coming off a late-season run that saw them sneak into the playoffs at the last minute, while the Cowboys strolled to an easy first-place finish in the NFC East.
On paper, it’s a fascinating battle that might go any way. The Cowboys are 3-point favorites right now (according to Fox Sports). With great performances from Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Nick Bosa, the 49ers may easily pull off the shock.

In recent years, the current incarnations of the 49ers and Cowboys haven’t had many clashes. In terms of the NFC standings, they’ve mostly been on opposing sides of the spectrum.
This isn’t stopped 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa from hurling insults at each other. He described the Cowboys offensive line as “beatable” when questioned about their upcoming clash.
Bosa told Jennifer Lee Chan of NBCSportsBayArea.com, “They are absolutely beatable.” “There’s footage of them being beaten, and we’re attempting to do the same, but they’ve been in and out of the lineup this year and in previous years, so our game plan is to make them work.”
For the 49ers, Nick Bosa has to put up a strong game.
For the time being, all trash talk aside, Bosa will need to have a huge game this weekend if the 49ers are to pull off the shock. With 15.5 sacks, he is the Niners’ top pass rusher.
Despite Bosa’s confidence, the Cowboys’ offensive line of Tyron Smith and La’el Collins at left and right tackle is a strength. The Cowboys won 12 games this season because to their ability to constantly offer clean pockets for Prescott.
To slow down Dallas’ high-powered attack, Bosa must go into the backfield and knock Prescott off his perch on many occasions. Allowing him too much time in the pocket would be disastrous for the 49ers’ defense, as one of Amari Cooper or CeeDee Lamb would ultimately come open if Prescott is allowed too much time in the pocket.
The 49ers have a few of pass rushers who should be able to get in front of Prescott (most notably Arik Armstead). Bosa, on the other hand, is the major player to keep an eye on. He was picked No. 2 overall by the 49ers a couple years back specifically for games like these.
The Cowboys would be prudent to deploy Bosa in a double-team situation.
Keep in mind that despite leading the NFL in tackles for loss and drawing the greatest percentage of double teams of any edge rusher, Nick Bosa received just 5 All-Pro votes…

Rather than dismissing Bosa’s remarks as nothing more than overconfident trash talk, the Cowboys would be smart to heed his advice.
On offense, stopping Bosa should be Dallas’ main objective, which means double-teams shouldn’t be ruled out.
The Cowboys need to know where Bosa is at all times, whether it’s setting up a TE on his side or sending a running back to chip-block. Stopping him from wreaking havoc in the backfield, as he expected, may help Dallas have a great day.
