Nearly three months after the fact, Dallas Cowboys defensive back Orlando Scandrick has received credit for a sack.

A blitzing Scandrick flattened Washington's Jason Campbell in the Cowboys' win in the 15th game of last season. Through tortured logic, the play was not ruled a sack. In their defensive statistics, compiled through coaching film, the Cowboys listed Scandrick without a sack for the season.

That changed when the NFL released its final and official statistics, which included one sack for Scandrick. The NFL also took away one sack from Pro Bowl nose tackle Jay Ratliff, cutting him to six, and inside linebacker Keith Brooking, credited with three.

I have wondered why we have not used Scandrick more on the blitz. Phillips used Nathan Jones well in that role back in 2007.

My favorite CB blitz in recent years was the hit we put on Lord Favra his last year in GB. That blindside job hurt him.

I can't recall ever seeing Favre leave a game other than that one

Because Scandrick can actually cover
