To a degree, but it says something about those two..for a defensive guy to come in and after 3 weeks take over what they've had all year.
True, he's terrible against the run. But at least he's breathed some life into the pass rush.
On the break today they talked about an interesting observation that they made during the Bear's game. They crew basically said that it was a crucial 3rd down on defense and Bennett was on the field pointing to Dlaw and Quinn (as if "are you serious?") to get on the field and play as they needed to make this stop. Not sure if anyone caught the convo but it seems like some of the D linemen are mailing it in and taking themselves out of important situations during the game too often. It also speaks volumes as to what kind of leader Bennett is and maybe the type of no nonsense BS leader that this team has been lacking. Dlaw has been one of the team leaders for a while but it seems hes slacking and that attitude is having a poisonous effect on the rest of the D.
Thanks for the info. This is concerning. Bennett is doing exactly what he's supposed to do, and it's looking like the defensive team captains don't have a clue or aren't willing to do what's required to be the best.
Exactly....and it makes me think that the entitled attitude that players like Dlaw and Jaylon are displaying is the norm in the Cowboys locker room. And these are the supposed team leaders. Im glad someone (with skins on the wall) is calling these losers out and putting them in check.
