Said it before and I'll say it again. Allowing the secondary FA's to move on instantly made the secondary better.

"We are not going to get any better on defense if we just keep paying the guys we got."
Stephen ftw.

However, Beckham broke that long TD last year when we played man. So it musta affected our drafting backs who can play zone.

The key was the LB drops. Both Lee and Jaylon. Got great depth to disrupt slants and posts. Made Eli reset his throws which led to sacks and pressured throws that were off target. Jaylon on the Brown pick was rt there as a MLB to blow Shepperd up had he in fact caught it... that was a good 10 plus yds down field. All this and he's still not 100%. This D could be scary by mid season when reinforcements are all back and acclimated. Can't wait to see Jordan Lewis out there and an even more explosive Jaylon.

I liked the lumber JJ Wilcox could unload
But that's only a minor +
Ya, we did the upgrade real well in this secondary renovation

Idk ? But that wouldn't surprise me if they all started balling as if their football careers depended on it.

Jaylon looked great for his first game and not being 100%. Very high ceiling.
Lee was fantastic.
Wilson also flashed a coupla times.
Bottom line is that we are a faster and more athletic defense, albeit less experienced. Can't wait to get the kids up to speed

Cowboys Mobile: Sound Off: Dez On “Lucky” Jenkins; Cole Addresses Circus Catch; D-Law & More http://yi.nzc.am/ewedHy
Eli Manning on whether the Cowboys’ defense did anything differently:
“They played less man, especially in third downs. The last couple of times they played a lot of man to man, and this time they played a lot of zones and some new coverages.”
