I thought this was a very underrated play and says something about the Cowboys strength and conditioning. It is not only very difficult to make such a tackle but to be sprawled out and then hold onto a guy by the toe of his shoe?

That was a great play!

Church had a good game. I think the third done run stop by Scandrick was a huge play in the 1st half. He was partially blocked but fought to make a tackle.

Yes, it was impressive. That's much harder to do than it looks.

Not sure how much it says about our strength and conditioning coach, but it says a lot about how much stronger Church is than the player he tackled.

If Church had a rangy, trustworth FS behind him this defense would start looking pretty interesting.

And the way Carter laid out to tip that ball that Durant picked. This defense is playing B***S OUT!!

Dont normally compliment Barry but good play by him. Did yall notice nearly everytime it went goal line Church came out and Heath came in?

Those gloves they where probably just STICK to the leather on the shoes. Great freaking tackle.

Any way we can keep church in the box will improve this defense. He and Scandrick would fit right in in Seattle with their aggressive downfield tackling

Without question. I love this D's tenacity. We are a pressure player away from being ridiculously dominate.

I do keep thinking that they just need that 1 dominate DLineman. I think a quality outside speed rusher would put them over the top. I think Lawrence can be that guy, but I don't know if he will be at that level when he returns this season.
