Bland Breaks Cowboys Record

[nate dizzle]

Not sure if this was posted already so if late to the party delete it. His 3 pick 6's in a season are a Cowboys record and he is 1 away from tying Eric Allen, Jim Kearney, and Ken Houston for the league record of 4. Obviously 2 away from owning the record. Pretty impressive for a 5th round pick!

He's better than Diggs.

Takes less chances for sure and seems to have similar results. Hopefully he continues to get better so he can upgrade Gilmore next season.

Would have been great to see how good this secondary would have been with all 3 playing together all season.

Our pass rush has gone from a roar to a yell since losing Diggs.

Eric Allen__NFL All Rookie Team, 3x NFL All-Pro, Philadelphia Eagles 75th Anniversary Team Member and Franchise HOF

Jim Kearney__AFL legendary safety for the AFL Kansas City Chiefs.

Kenny Houston___it would become a novel if I started to list this player's accomplishments and accolades in this post.
I'll just state he's in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame.

Daron Bland, in his nascent career, is exhibiting play that down the line, he could equal the status of those great defensive backs.

It's pretty wild that he is even in their atmosphere at this stage in his career. I hate our FO but they have been unearthing some gems. If only they could figure out what to do in the 2nd round....

It’s been pretty crazy.

Like part of me mentally has been waiting for the “wheels to come off”.

Like did the cowboys really land a pro bowl/ all pro caliber CB in the 5th round last year?

But man he has been an absolute stud from the first time he put on a cowboys uniform.

Also leads the league in picks over the time period he has been in the NFL...

That's crazy, just looked it up.

He’s leading the league over last 2 years though Diggs had more in one season than he’s had in his career lol

Both are playing some great ball

He ain't afraid fo tackle.

To be fair, after getting his contract, Diggs was sticking people this year. May have been making business decisions in the past and once he got paid it wasn't an issue for him any more after having that contract.

The Dallas defense only allowed the Rams 163 passing yards...that will show up this weekend in Philadelphia this Sunday. Now, the Cowboys need to Red Zone up and take the leads...

More impressive when you look at the receivers they shut down.

I’d agree with this. As frustrated as I was with him in playoff game against San Fran I saw much improvement this year

Al Harris came here in Diggs' rookie season.

And now Bland.

Exactly. That can’t be ignored. He’s obviously a very good coach and was a ball hawk himself.

Yes, great point. He's gotten blue chip 1st round production out of Diggs and Bland.
