If you go look at his routes in some of those plays today you can see what the Cowboys like about him. He's a load. But with less weight than last year, he looks a lot more nimble. He's a try-hard, smart player, who obviously works hard. Not great speed, but smart and pretty smooth runner.

I have to say . . . I've always been a bit optimistic about Brown. But most of my hunch about him was doubt, because he's been around for so long.

I'm impressed by how gritty he is. Today, he played well within the system. Did several different things out there that showed he might be more than just the best blocking WR in the league. He's starting to look legit out there.

As someone else pointed out earlier, Noah Brown has more yards so far than Amari Cooper, and as many TDs.

While I'm pointing out how good Noah Brown looked today, it was against a Bengals defense that's not nearly as good as the Bucs.

In fact, the Bucs held the Saints to only 10 points to say, which tells me we may have faced the best defense in the league game 1.

Seems like it’s a common story every year that some backup QB takes over for an extended time and instantly elevates the game of the backup WR he has been getting all his practice reps with and has a great rhythm together.

I’ll take it anyway I can get it.

Took just 1 week with a new QB to change the opinions of our WRS


If that aint an indictment on #4, idk what is

Nah, the WR corps still not that good.

But they played much better than last week for sure.

And the Cowboys committed more to run vs Bengals.

Both the gameplan and execution were much better this Sunday than last Sunday.

I 100% see Daks limitations. Problem is our OC doesn't. If you think Rush is a better QB than Dak..... Holy Cow. Not even in the same hemisphere. 50% more rushing this game than last despite the run working very well against TB. They were scared of Tom, and played accordingly instead of controlling the game.

It's like having a shoot out with Doc Holiday. Even if he's drunk, he's got two guns (defense and offense) one for each of ya.

We are loaded with maulers. Run the ball.

Noah was ok vs the Bucs imho. This week he showed out, so he's the leading WR for the Cowboys now.

Gallup n Brown on the Outside and CeeDee in the Slot. Lamb looks to be more of a slot guy. I don't know where James Washington fits. Also, when the 2 injured WRs return who's getting cut at WR? Tough decisions ahead.
