IRVING, Texas – All the battered defensive position groups should get some reinforcements back this weekend against the Giants.

Safety J.J. Wilcox (knee), defensive tackle Jason Hatcher (neck/arm) and linebacker DeVonte Holloman (neck) were all on the field Monday and expect to be ready to play the Giants after missing the Saints game before the bye week.

Fast with good coverage skills seems to be the kind of linebackers they are looking for. Holloman fits that description and seems to have a knack for making plays. It will be fun to see how he does.

I am still getting flashbacks to last time Hatcher talked before Lions game.

Nope. Bitterness reigns supreme.

If the extra four are on the line rushing the passer, I guarantee we wouldn't. In fact, I'd guarantee that people would start talking like Dallas has an All-Pro secondary.
