I think Hankins has been playing for them... and playing pretty well. Are you talking about last year's second round pick for them, Jonathan Hankins from Ohio State? If so, he has been pretty good (a good 2nd round pick by Reese).

Yes, that one. He's a mass load at the 1 tech for them. Can be disruptive.

Is it me or do the Cowboys not exploit other team weaknesses. So many times other teams secondary is decimated yet they go unchallenged. Hope this changes.

I'd say it's a minor miracle that we never exploit teams weaknesses yet are 7-3.

We may not be sackmasters but have an abundance of d-linemen that are able to apply enough pressure to disrupt many a QB. If Eli is what he appears to be at this juncture, we'll be wise to take advantage of their o-line weaknesses and keep Eli uncomfortable and unsteady in the pocket. Make him do more of what he's been doing lately and the game should be ours for the taking. I'm really hoping Marinelli takes full advantage of the situation.

Really? Romo going 9 for 9 in the second half against the Giants is not taking advantage?...Bryant going off for 9 rec and 151 yards against Amukamara not taking advantage? 10-10 for 168 yds on third down by Romo not taking advantage? The sudden appearance of Escobar as a wrecking ball not taking advantage? I would say the Cowboys took FULL advantage of a flailing Giants secondary. It's also largely why they won!

For some reason, OL's which are down for the count, always have career days against us. We won't touch Eli.

LOL!

Last time the Giants (who had just come off giving up 8 sacks) did a whole lotta maximum protect and 3-step drops.

The result was a loss.

If the Cowboys win, the number of sacks they get can be minimal.

I guess my sarcasm wasn't being detected.

You can break down this game as much as you want by factoring in injuries and offensive ans defensive statistics until the cows come home .

This is a division game.Our opponents know us as good as wee know them.
We have a tendency to make opposing teams back ups look like all pros.

We are very capable of losing this game and it worries me.
I had a very strong gut feeling we were gonna lose that Commander game even knowing Colt McCoy was the starter and we did.I seen his full career at Texas and understood what we were facing.
