Who is your biggest surprise player this year?

Bobhaze said:

I guess because I’m not that surprised he has played so well. He played really well against Minnesota last year. That was a big surprise for me. But this year, he hasn’t really shocked me. Maybe if he leads us to a win against the rams I will be more surprised.

He’s been excellent for sure. But other than Cincy, he hasn’t exactly faced murderer’s row of tough teams. Without our defense, we’re probably 1-3 because we are still only averaging about 23 points a game which isn’t terrible, but without a good D, that’s not that potent.

I like Cooper Rush a lot but I’m just not as impressed as many here.

For me, Noah Brown has been a big surprise. I expected Tolbert to slide into the role of temporary starter until Gallup returned, and be the 3rd receiver going forward. But Noah Brown has definitely earned time on the field for more than just special teams and blocking.

Cooper Rush

Noah Brown

Donovan Wilson

Terrence Steele

Tyler Smith

Brett Maurer

Dorace Armstrong

Dante Fowler

Kevante Turpin

- Rush: whenever you have your backup step in and hand you wins, that a monster plus help.
- i admit i had Noah cut so many times, and disregarded camp notes, but he's making plays
- Wilson is playing at a Pro Bowl level, i'm questioning if it is Kearse that should be 3rd
safety now instead of Wilson.
- Steele has been solid, he's not getting beat like a drum and we're a better run team ..vs Lael Collins

- Smith had no preseason/T-camp at LT, but yet the rookie has step in day one
and has impressed since
- Maurer has been reliably solid. Booming, accurate leg and not shanking X-tra pts.
- Armstrong has shown up in the pass rush, vs run it's been mixed views.
- Fowler is another that is showing up as a rush sub, vs run, also has been mixed views
- Turpin is gonna be a difference maker in return game ..leads NFL in punt ret yds last count; will break it for TDs

I'm going to go against the grain and say Diggs. If you had told me that Diggs wouldn't be getting the INTs at the same rate as last year, I would have thought that he'd be getting burnt from gambling. I LOVED what he was able to do last year, but I thought it was more about fortunate timing and a bit of luck.

But Diggs has surprised me by looking more like a complete CB this year. Maybe I was expecting a fall-off simply because we haven't had a CB of his caliber in a long, long time.

This is a very good list and kinda mirrors what I was going to post. No need to post it now as you pretty well covered it (except Maher's spelling ).

I have to give the FO credit for assembling this talent pretty much out of nowhere. I will slam Booger Jerrah sometimes on these pages and now he and the front office team deserve kudos. Also the coaching staff for the way they have meshed and coached the team ! We can win with a team. Talent has to mesch and I / we all have been surprised be what the organization has been able to assemble.

Good job COWBOYS !

Has to be Tyler Smith although not to me. Most of the board was in meltdown mode, Jerry didn’t plan yada yada yada.

what i want to see with this coaching staff, is how they will react and lead... once Dak has returned... .

Meaning will we still be committed to running the ball.. or will we revert back to pass-frenzy because Kellen has Dak back ?

Anybody who saw 3-0 coming I want their insight on investments. Most of us had the season over after Daks injury.
