Good to see him out on the field. He had 3 tackles and a sack in the game. what do you guys think of his 1st outing of the season?

Not bad for first outing and as he plays more games to get acclimated with team and improve his game condition, he should be better. Definitely a good addition for us.

I posted elsewhere that it is no coincidence that we had the most sacks in one game with Tank finally in the lineup. I'm not sure he's in football shape yet. His midsection looks a little pudgy, but he defintely is an asset to this defense and will continue to improve and gel with his new teammates. With Canty, Spears, Ratliff and Hatcher making more and more plays, this D line is really turning into something special.

I loved the spin move he pulled off to get his 1st sack as a Cowboy.

Any depth on the d-line is a plus and an extra bonus when a guy like that can make the moves he made.

He definitely needs some work, but he's got 7 more games to get that before the games really matter.

Considering how long it has been since he last played, I thought he played pretty well. I just hope he has learned from the past and stays out of trouble. This defense could really come up huge in the playoffs with a healthy Henry and Tank in actual game shape.

He eats up double-teams constantly, which is a major-plus. The guy is huge, and it is a definite change-up from Ratliff, considering the size difference.

He needs a lot of work, especially in run defense. Pretty explosive which was nice to see since I don't believe he's in game shape just yet.

I'd call it a successful debut. I definitely think the coaches will look to get him in the game more and more if he keeps it up. Not exactly in game shape, but his sack showed that his instincts have not atrophied. Overall, I'd give him a B+ yesterday.

He had a bad illegal hands to the face penalty and got pushed around a few times in the running game but overall he played well.

Pro Bowler!

Just kidding, he needs work. He seemed out of sorts in the scheme. It will take a few weeks for him to get comfortable but he can help this defense!

Given it was his 1st game since the SB I feel the same B+. I think as he regains his legs and endurance he will become a bigger impact player for us. 1st outing though I was impressed.

i see alot of potential for defense down the road with him in the lineup.

He exceeded my expectations, and got much more clock than I thought he would

I was too, but he didn't make me not miss Fergy. Him and Fergy as the NT lineup with Ratliff back at DE would make me very happy I think.

I agree. The Combo of Fergy and Tank would look great and help free up Ratliff as more of a pass rusher at DE.

I think what I saw was.... he was anxious and hungry... to WANT to be a part of something great.

He was a little rusty and still provided results. It can only get better for him in dallas.

I was very happy with his performance & can't wait to see him play after he's truly in game shape. Gotta love how we're getting all the pieces in place for a strong push going into the playoffs.

Here's to hoping Terry can somehow make it back onto the field for the last game or two of the regular season.

He was rusty.
But he was gooooood!
As he gets more into the flow of things gamewise he will be more of a force.
Ratliff had a good game as well.

Welcome to the team you gun-loving defensive demon!
