You know that weird, eerie feeling where you know you have seen something before but you just can’t put your finger on exactly what?
Sunday that was called Confidence in the Cowboys Defense.
Take out the Tyreek Hill freak of nature play at the half and this game is Dallas blowing out a team that came in 6-2. That is a new feeling after the last couple of years.
The key thing IMO is that both the OL and DL are gelling as units and begin to elevate their play. The DL has no weak link since David Irving returned and all four starters can rush and stop running plays. That opens up so many more things for Marinelli – which he did well in this game. Everything still comes down to execution, but its so much easier for the back 7 to do so when the DL is playing well and Sean Lee is back on the field.
The OL didn’t dominate but still controlled the game in the same basic formula this team. Our offense isn’t spectacular but it’s the equivalent of Nolan Ryan throwing his fastball. Everyone in the stadium knows he is going to throw it and the batter still can’t hit it.
Some grandiose notes:
TWill played a great game in every phase of the game. I hope this is the start of a breakout for him but the great game he had Sunday still puts him on a season long pace for…. Two. But the thing I was happiest with was that after the big RAC he sprinted to the line and was completely aware of the clock. That’s an improvement.
Good to see Linehan working to get Beasley and Twill into the game plan more. It really plays to Dak’s strengths. On a related note, I’m hoping that as part of the Ezekiel Elliot appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit bans Beasley’s end zone dances.
I loved Romo calling the game, he is obviously extremely knowledgeable with personal insights into the players, but is also just a positive guy. It’s a welcome change. I love Aikman, but he works too hard at being neutral IMO. Collinsworth drives me nuts because he has “movie critic syndrome” and works hard at finding things to nitpick.
Taco got a Sack and Heath got a pick on the following play. You know what that is?
Proof of a benevolent God who reads this Forum. Want further proof? He also knocked Andy Reid down with his own player.
