The monster took on supposedly the nfls best and chewed them up and spit them out(GB DEF). This was bigger mismatch then the bengals game. I dont see how Leary is not the starting LG in 2017. With Collins moving over to RT. Give Leary a nice 4 yr deal and call it a day. Let Green be that swing tackle that can come in and start when needed. Leary is quickly making people remember how nasty he is. You improve this OL if thats even possible by adding an athletic monster to RT where you have an aging vet who is starting to lose his wheels.

Elliot keeps on separating himself from the NFL backs. IMO the only one close to his league is Bell.

Beasley just cant be covered right now. TW has stepped up into the lead spot while Dez has been out and Butler is good for a TD catch a game. With Witten and his consistency dallas canmove the chains at will. DEz coming back will only enhance it, but the thing is you dont have to force it to him. So he needs to step up his game or hes not going to see the targets.

David Irving showed up, most of GBs yrds came out of desperation. They were totally shut down by a deep defence who can play with any team. Dont look now but Dallas has some crazy amount of depth. They dont have any stars on def but just a bounch of young guys who play physical and do their jobs. They arent going to allow anything big, but will force teams to eat up that clock to get a score. Teams get desperate and make mistakes like GB did today because they kill clock trying to score and u have Dallas chewing up crazy time getting tds.

This is 2014 all over again, only difference is you dont have Dallas with the slow starts. You have Dallas rarely trailing. You dont have Dalls turning the ball over.

Enjoy ur bye week

Efficiency will win you alot of games. Thats how Brady won his early 2 super bowls. He took what they gave him. Played smart and didnt turn it over.

To be fair, Dak had two turnovers today, but you just trust him with the ball. And WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD DEZ THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Man, it's going to add another dimension with him.

Great write up, but your wrong about one thing. This is not 2014 again.....this is the young guns stamping there ideals on the new Cowboys...2016 is about the now and the future....no more the window is closing. It is wide open for the foreseeable future

This was a statement win. I don't want to hear anymore that they haven't beat anybody. They went to Lambeau Field and they BEAT up the Packers. I know they had injuries and so did the Cowboys. The O-Line proved they're the best. Leary is better then Collins right now. That's a fact. Terrance and Cole have stepped up. Finally!! Lucky with a couple of big plays. Brice Butler is ok. I'm ready for Dez to come back and the defense was lights out. The secondary is unbelievable. The entire defense played lights out this game. I'm so happy that we have a bye week. I need a week off.

way off on the OL. Collins is a brute in run game. His biggest weakness is pass protection. He won't be moving to tackle. Leary, even if considered better than Collins, will hit the road. We can't afford his free agent deal when we need to sign Martin and Collins shortly afterwards.

Coaches deserved criticism in first half and deserve credit for the second half and for the 5-1 start. I'm as critical as it gets in the head coach but I must tip my hat to him now. I badly want them to recognize the value and priority of winning and not make any QB change. Why chance changing the momentum? They need to heal up and continue to be nasty on the other side of the break.

Packer fans after the game are saying we haven't played anyone yet. So please don't get excited about this team just yet.

Zeke is on another level. Zeke > 2014 Murray and he's getting less touches. That is why we can win with Dez on the bench.

I've been preaching this since they snagged Colllins....so many say he can't handle it but he was a stand out T in college so I don't get it....then you talk about an OL...wow...can't let leary go imo...

Also, how about these coaches? The play calling is creative, and brilliant. We have defenses on their heals most of the time.

No ... there were some serious boneheaded plays called. Left me scratching my head on a few series ...

I'm starting to think this is a good idea. Our OL looks better with Leary at LG.

I think Green moves into the RT spot. He performed very well when Tyron was out and, in my eyes, has earned a chance to at least fight for the RT position. As for Collins, we could keep him as the swing guard/backup center. He's definitely talented, no doubt about that, but the Cowboys are in a great position with depth at OL.

The defense has definitely stepped up their play, especially Malik Collins. That dude is consistently making plays against the run. The only glaring issue is the defense HAS to generate a pass rush some how. The secondary is good enough to go Man while they blitz a few people, it sucks but we have to get some kind of pressure on the opposing QBs.
