ARLINGTON, Texas – I’m heading back to Valley Ranch to digest the tape of this fifth-straight loss. In the meantime, there’s no shortage of takeaways from the Cowboys’ 13-12 defeat to the Seahawks.
Here are my first impressions from the press box at AT&T Stadium:
1) It was not going to be easy for Dez Bryant in his first game back, having to face the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman. There is a reason why Sherman is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, and when he draws the assignment of carrying the opponent's star, he is usually up to the task. Bryant did his best to get away from Sherman, and there was a time or two when I thought he was open, but Matt Cassel went in another direction or checked the ball down. There were also snaps when I felt like Cassel tried to force the ball to Bryant and the receiver really wasn't in a good enough position to make the play. Bryant did have the one pass where it was a jump-ball situation and it went through his hands. I am sure he’d like to have that back because it was one of those highpoint balls that he catches all day.
2) Great adjustment by the Seahawks in the second half to move the pocket away from Greg Hardy and make him have to chase on the rush. When you have an athletic quarterback like Wilson who can throw on the move, that's really a no-brainier. He was able to make some big plays this way.
