This reminds of a few years ago (2011?) when the Cowboys played the Jets in the season opener while Revis was still in his prime.

Things got heated on the field with constant pushing and shoving brethren Dez and Revis.

Dez was killing the Jet's DB.

Problem was it was Antonio Cromartie not Darelle Revis. But because folks were foaming at the mouth wanting denounce Revis it didn't matter. In reality, Revis gave up just one catch to Dez (a back shoulder fade on the sideline).

Same thing is going on now with Dez and Norman.

Nobody wants Dez to humiliate Norman more than me, but anyone claiming Dez has gotten the better of him in their matchups while with the Skins isn't dealing with reality; the film and numbers don't support that.

If your main go-to highlight is of Dez running by Norman on a route where he wasn't actually thrown the ball, that's telling. It means you don't really have much film of him beating Norman at all.

Yep week 1 of 2011, one of Romo's biggest choke jobs

I don't get the hate for Norman at all, he is much better than any corner we have had since pup. Dez doesn't match up with him or Patrick Peterson very well.
