Lee and Tank exceeding my draft expectations of them, by far. Very pleased with how those two developed..

We are sending 5 pass rushers in an arrow formation, two lb’s and 2 de’s on the edges, Irving at the nose...

Oh GOSH yes. Lee has blown my expectations out of the water. Been hurt but he's undersized. Almost too tough for his own good. Tank...Good but he was a 2nd rounder so I never expected a ton. They've both clearly outperformed their where they were taken in the draft.

The 1 tech spot on the DLINE has got me worried the most. Collins isn't really a 1 tech, and now there is only Ash with Price out.

Yeah...dunno what they'll do about that. Damn shame...Price was playing really well. Pissed me off they didn't cart him off. Hope they didn't make it worse.

They were both 2nd rounders. We traded up for Tank and he was undersized...

This team needs another defensive tackle with Brian Price dislocating his kneecap today.

They need bodies. I like the idea of lewis neal but there has to be a veteran somewhere that can come in and play tackle for this team right now.

That PISSES me right off. The man is that seriously hurt and they don't cart him off? WHAT....THE....HELL???????

I have taken a lot of shots at the FO for the defensive line, but they are a legitimate force. David Irving and DeMarcus Lawrence are wrecking machines out there. Crawford might not be living up to his paycheck, but he is a baller.
There were a couple of us that tried to tell you guys this all off season.

Lee is a beast, but we need Hitch, Jaylon, and Wilson to step up.
Well, a lot of fans have misjudged the defensive talent. Including me. The season is not over and the Cowboys still need to focus on the Defensive side of the ball in the next off season.

Two bad we can’t find two safeties.
Heath basically stepped in front of that pass today to make the game sealing INT. Not saying he's good necessarily, but I feel like he's always been around the ball but can't actually finish the play. Maybe the light is starting to come on for him.

I was one who said this DLine had some pretty good players before the season started. But I did not give Tank and Irving enough credit. They are legit war daddies. Crawford has been dang good too.

I don’t think we misjudged.. Basically the same guys as last year. Minus the 4 DB’s. Seems like the light came on. But will it stay on.

yeah. Basically agree. I don't trust this type of prevent defense. Its a long season. We shall see. I like an aggressive, blitzing,, CB man defense.

I like Heath because he is a body snatcher...a hitter. He is not an All Pro...but he is solid and reliable and puts a little fear in offensive sizzle players. That's a good thing.
