News: Mick Shots: A few leftovers

Latest Mickey article.
Give an explanation of why they went with 5 DE's and 3 DT's in the game.
With Crawford and DLaw returning and had no PS game snaps. They went with versatility, as Crawford, Hyder and Jackson could play inside and outside, so they would not over do their snap count.

Sounds reasonable. Let's see what they do Sunday, and if the same, then see what he says. LOL.

Taco Time? While 2017 first-round pick Taco Charlton was inactive for the season opener, might he be on the 46-man roster this Sunday? The Cowboys went for versatility with the eight defensive linemen up for the Giants game, keeping just three defensive tackles and then five defensive ends. But three of those defensive ends, Tyrone Crawford, Kerry Hyder and Joe Jackson, could also play defensive tackle in passing situations. Plus, the Cowboys didn’t want to overwork their starting two defensive ends, DeMarcus Lawrence and Crawford, rehabbing all through training camp. Lawrence ended up playing just 32 of the 69 snaps and Crawford 30. Of the defensive ends, Hyder played the most snaps (44), some inside, Dorance Armstrong 30 and the rookie Jackson 26.

Now it makes sense why Hill was inactive.
