Buehler has been a god send for the Cowboys but besides him the punt coverage team has been great of getting down field and making plays. Also kudos to Crayton on a couple of nice returns in the punt game

It's nice to know that teams will be looking at 80 yard or longer drives more times than not.

did you notice that the last 2 or 3 KO's by buehler were 2-3 yards deep in the end zone but the returner didn't come out? IMO it's because we were busting arse and tackling him on the 15 yard line before that repeatedly. Better to start at the 20 and not take a pounding...........

I also noticed the tackling is better on special teams this year than in years past. Now if our defense could learn how to tackle...

I loved how the Carolina returner was kneeing kicks that were just a yard or so into the endzone, because he knew that the coverage was going to get him down before the 20. Yes, that has a lot to do with Buehler, but it also has a lot to do with them fearing our coverage unit as well.

Agreed. What a turnaround! The coverage units have been really good and Patrick Crayton is having himself some great returns

Nice thread, Dooms. DeCamillis is everything we need him to be. When we finally play a good game in all three phases, it will be a thing of beauty.

** Knocks on wood **

Punt and kick coverage has been really good! The ST players are hustling to the ball carrier and rarely is one person attempting to make the tackle.
