Interesting Decision

With Justin Durant possibly due back from his injury this week, Jason Garrett and these defensive coaches have a decision to make: whether to allow Durant his spot back in the starting lineup at Sam linebacker or stick with Kyle Wilber, who in two starts has been very steady and was outstanding versus the run last week against the Raiders.

It appears Wilber has found a home on that strong side and is playing with some nice awareness and some stoutness at the point. What makes this call interesting, is that Durant has not done anything to say that he is clearly better than what we have seen from Wilber the last two games.

Where Wilber can also help this defense is with his ability to put pressure off the edge when he blitzes, which is something that we have not seen from Durant. When the team gets back to the practice field on Wednesday, we will know their answer.

Cowboys wonder if Kyle Wilber has found a spot after encouraging games against Giants, Raiders
Kyle Wilber, playing strongside linebacker for a second game, had four tackles, a quarterback hurry and a fumble recovery. It encouraged the Cowboys about the third-round pick from 2012, who hasn’t been able to find a position since he was drafted to be a 3-4 outside linebacker.

“I think he played 25 plays in the game last week against the Giants and had 24 production points,” coach Jason Garrett said. “That doesn’t mean anything to you guys, but that was a really positive performance. He was around the ball a lot, had tackles for loss, forced some fumbles, recovered some fumbles. He certainly is still learning the position. He doesn’t always pull the trigger as quick as he needs to just because he hasn’t seen the looks as much. But he is playing better and better.”

“He has shown us the last couple of weeks that he is just a good player,” Garrett said. “He played off the ball, he played that Sam linebacker spot, and he gets around the ball.”

Funny how everybody in the media is suddenly talking about putting players in a better position to succeed, then simply just talking about going out and 'executing'. These guys are staight plagiarizing after coming across this site.
