It did work out ok in SEA, though. We played a good defensive game there, all around. Our problem in SEA was that we didn't score any points.

I'll take 13 points given up v. PHI right now, if they want to give it to me.

I know, I know. But more consistent pressure on the QB will result in more turnovers -- 0 sacks and 0 turnovers, despite only giving up 13 points, is completely unacceptable. This defense needs to start forcing the issue. And by forcing the issue, I mean killing the QB.

We did get the one TO. We still lost, despite winning the TO differential, for once.

I agree about the defense, though. The damn dam needs to break already.

They are saying Peters is still battling back spasms.......... so it's possible if his back reacts well the next few days, he could still play.

Johnson has really struggled at RT according to reports, so this might be fun. I think the word is that he has good feet but struggles with the power moves, so either side, Hardy and Mincy should give him trouble.

Just like the Seattle game.

Come on dude...Bradford couldn't hold Wilson's jock when it comes to athleticism and escaping the pocket. You cannot arbitrarily rush Wilson...he's too fast and too elusive. You have to maintain containment, which means doing your job by keeping gap control.

Both Eagle OTs should have their lunch money stolen.

Wilson was sacked in 30 straight games until he faced the Cowboys.

Wow, the caption for that clip... Didn't they fire a guy just recently for his caption and/or twitter comments? That is just an absolutely inexcusable shot at a player. No class whatsoever.

thats not an official NFL account.


Also i feel bad for Lane Johnson he just talked crap about Hardy and now he has to face him.

Peters might not be available.

Matt Tobin, I believe, goes to RT.

Good. Hardy should power through him.

Lane Johnson is probably best against pure speed rushers but could have some issues with Hardy's combination of power and speed.

I know, I forgot Hardy's INT, sue me. LOL. Sadly, as soon as Hardy was tripped up, I said "We're not getting a touchdown out of this." Even more sadly, I have a feeling 99% of Cowboys fans said the exact same thing to themselves.

With this QB situation, it's hard to even get excited about turnovers, given that we can't do anything with them.
