The Cowboys have yet to allow 20 points in a game this season, making this season-opening stretch the first time since 1973 & sixth time in franchise history that they have held their first four opponents to 19 points or fewer.

Dallas has only given up four touchdowns in its first four games of 2022, joining the 1970 & 1972 Cowboys defenses as the only three units in franchise history to give up no more than four total touchdowns in the first four games of the season.

The younger fan base can finally witness greatness being repeated. Proof, history does repeat itself!

We have a young linebacker, and cornerback. Every bit as good as our starters Bland, and clark. This defense is awesome. I’ve been waiting for this for a while

Much as I love your enthusiasm.... hold off on Clark for just a bit. He hasn't even played a down in the NFL yet, so to say he's as good as our starters is just a bit premature. Still... love the enthusiasm!

What's more? Cooper Rush, the first Cowboys quarterback in team history to win his first four career starts!

It's great the fan base is getting excited. Got to love it. The defense has played very well but I am interested in the next two games to see what they are really all about.

Exactly what Egals fans are quoting!
Good that they too are not 100 percent sure about the team they got going too. It's too early for both teams to know but today we will begin to find out and after next week both fan bases should have a more clear gage on their respective teams. I guess by Thanksgiving you are who you are but we gonna find out earlier than that this season I believe.

Not even a quarter of the season has gone by. And we have not exactly been facing offensive juggernauts.

I remember in 2003 we had by yardage the top D in the NFL; but when it met real offensives it certainly was not.

I find it difficult to consider a team that is ranked 26th against the run to be of historical significance

The points allowed are indeed impressive but if you can't stop the run it will catch up with you.

Kind of like giving up 160 yards to the Niners in a playoff game.

I hope this thread isn't just another thinly veiled attempt to discredit our humble 970K a year backup QB.....that wouldn't be very nice.

...and on a Sunday too.

As much as I’m glad to see the defense playing at the level they are let’s see what they do against real competition outside the nfc east.

Beat a Rams team desperate for a win and then we might have something here.

If we can still say this in 3 weeks (Remember Detroit is the #1 offense rn) I will be bouncing off the walls excited

I realize it is still early so don't want to get my hopes up. But what i've seen is very positive and i really feel the defense is gonna get even better. DQ doing a great job. One game at a time.....next up, the rams. GO COWBOYS......:starspin:

True. Dallas has the talent/momentum heading into this one. The ONLY one who can blow this game is Kellen Moore!

I agree Clark has not earned any pedestals at this point in time. Cannot imagine his talent being so camouflaged looking back at the notes in pre-draft.

Yes but I followed his college career. The kid is NFL ready. And I heard the same thing about the Bland

And they did it!!!!! Played very good ball. Eagles are the next test and I hope Micah is not nicked up but afraid he will be. Alpha males like him persevere with his drive so I hope he can rev up his engine one more week. The whole defense impressed this game. The offense ran the ball and played complimentary to the defense.

If the offense puts up early points, the defense wont have to work as hard.
