Mike Ditka was on Mike and Mike and was extremely surprised at how dominant the Cowboys defense was.

Mike Ditka doesn't give out a lot praise but he was extremely impressed at how the Cowboys Defense has been playing the last 4 Weeks.

Not sure if this is true, but Mike Ditka was saying that about 5 Weeks ago, Wade Phillips got more involved with the Defense and really put his stamp on it.

Wade put his stamp on the defense 5 weeks ago???



Does Ditka not realize that Wade is also the DC???

Wade guys are fully integrated into the defense and it is showing. Our in game and half time adjustments have been great too. With our nickle package playing so well I really cannot pinpoint a weakness on D that could cost us a game.

We shutdown Minny's running game, I like our chances against Favre.
 
No, 5 weeks ago the light went on for Anthony Spencer. He got his first sack and hasn't looked back.

Our run D is stout. I'm not worried about containing Taylor or Peterson.

This game will turn on how much pressure we put on Favre.

You should be. Thats like being alone in a dark alley with a maniac that hates you and he happens to have a shotgun. Doesn't mean he is going to shoot you, but the possibility is there.
 
I really like our chances in this ball game. I've just got that feeling that we're on the kind of roll you've got to be on to win Championships. I believe we'll beat the Vikings and this defense is a HUGE part of why I feel so good about this team this year. Maybe the biggest reason.
 
As someone mentioned, many of these young players like Jenkins, Scandrick, Ball, Hatcher, Bowen, etc., who are making plays all over the field you can and should thank Wade. He is taking these kids, many who are late round picks and coaching them into a defense that mauls teams. Guys like V and JWill, once they can absorb NFL speed and more importantly Wade's defensive scheme it will be nuts. Hell, Wade has even found a way to get BobbyC involved and making key plays! :eek:
This is exciting because I feel it's really the 1st time the D is truly playing at the level they were capable of. I also believe Wade has more exotic schemes to throw at teams as the next step.

I don't even know if my sig is activated but I'll make a sig bet with you that we don't get gouged in the run game.

I won't bet this next prediction but we will make them one dimensional and put pressure on Favre. We will win the game by ten points or more.
 
I'm not worried about "Rushing" ..I'm worried about Favre doing little dump offs to AD ..That is gonna hurt us ..I can already see it. Barbie vs AD..

I'm not really that worried about AD though. Especially with the way our defense hits, it wouldn't surprise me if he puts it on the ground next week.
 
The D is really coming together. We made a really good Eagles Offense look lethargic two weeks in a row. This is no coinkidink.

We continue to play heads up football, and the Vikings will crumple.
