Eatman: This Defensive Line Looked More Beefed-Up Than Patched-Up

[waving monkey]

ARLINGTON, Texas – Last year, 19 points in the season opener to the Giants wasn’t quite enough.

This year, it was enough for a blowout.

So maybe it’s a stretch to say the Cowboys blew out their division rivals here Sunday night. After all, a 16-point win is technically only two scores.

But when you think about what the Cowboys defense did all night long, keeping the Giants from ever getting into an offensive rhythm, it’s hard to fathom New York getting the ball into the end zone once, much less four times.

What a difference a year makes, right? OK, let’s be honest – what a difference not having Odell Beckham Jr. was for the Giants. In my opinion, he’s one of the three most dangerous players in the entire league and his lack of presence on the field completely changes what the Giants can and cannot do

Holding a team to just 3 points is fantastic. The defense will only get better.

Thanks Nirvana!
Those are some of the best key defensive plays,,,that panic mode forward pass for -1 yard loss wrapped up immediately by #90 was solid gold for me

Demarcus Lawrence looked huge, and that one play where Eli tried to throw it while falling down should've been a sack. Refs should've went to the replay.

Entire DL gets a huge kudos. Benny was robbed of a sack! Way to go Paea, Collins and Lawrence as well.

Very impressed with the constant pressure throughout!! Tip of the cap to the DL!

Very good showing for the game.

D-Law in my opinion looked outstanding. Making plays vs the run and getting a lot of pressure on Eli including a couple of sacks.

He did. Looked like a different guy out there. Quick, powerful, agile, aware. You name the superlative and he had it! If he keeps it up and stays healthy, he's getting paid.

I liked the recognition on the screen play, where he absolutely nailed the back the second he caught the ball.

Thought Taco was okay. Not great but showed he belonged

Refs messed up TWICE in this game, taking a sack from Mayowa and then while crediting Jaylon with forcing a fumble, saying they blew the play dead before Sean Lee could recover the ball.

Did we even blitz last night? We got pressure with 4 guys wait till we unleash Sean Lee and Jaylon on the blitz!!!!
