IRVING — Veteran defensive end Jeremy Mincey has three of the Dallas Cowboys’ last eight sacks. Mincey credits his weight loss this season for his ability to make a strong late-season push.

Mincey said he weighed more than 290 pounds during training camp but set a goal to lose at least two pounds a week during the season. Mincey said he’s down 25 to 30 pounds since training camp and feels much quicker playing now at 267 pounds.

“I feel like a whole new player,” Mincey said. “If you watch film on me from the first half of the season, don’t get me wrong it was good for a big man playing end, but now I’m an end playing end and I finally feel like myself.

Jeez, I can't imagine anyone thinking he would be better at 290.....

That brings up an interesting question as to why he was brought in at 290 or whether it was always the plan to bring his weight down for this defense.

Mincey is this year's Selvie, but I'd like to see him be our 4th best defensive end next year.

Yes, I've noticed that he looked much slimmer than he did at the beginning of the season. He also looks much quicker.

The answer to that question, is he likely gained all that weight after signing his contract.
