But of all the props that D and O is getting, we are really forgetting, its really ST that really put O in several good positions for Offense to do well.


Since I am one of those guys who has not been impressed with DeHaven since he has been with Cowboys, whether it was his doing or not, today the Special teams came up big. My props to them.

Agreed.

Cortez has done well this season and did well vs the Eagles.

Crayton had nice yardaged, but he scares me when he runs with the ball...odd I don't seem to get that feeling after he makes a catch playing WR but I do when he is returning.

TT had a very good day returning as well.

Also let's give some credit and a little shout out to Brett Pierce who seems to be really coming on as our ST demon.

I'm with ya BP...Crayton carries the ball too far away from his body...we're gonna pay for that if it's not corrected, pronto.

Ive actually seen ST get their props but you're right - they played outstanding ball.

Praise all around is warranted.

The coverage teams were great yesterday. Copper is very good in coverage. I know there are some that wanted him pulled to get Price activivated. Copper's play on special teams is exactly what keeps him activated for games.

Here is my guarded optimism. The Eagles don't have a good special teams. :)

Special teams did great, I think this is the 1st time in many years where all units were clicking. Offense,Defense and Special teams we beat Philly in each and every aspect of the game!!!

Crayton does scare me.

He runs too upright and relaxed it looks.

To his defense though, he just glides along and makes good moves in an amazingly smooth manner. It almost looks like slow motion.

It has been at least 10years since we have seen the Cowboys dominate an opponent as we witnessed today. It's a good feeling

Best part was the reaction from the players after the game. They relize a game like this will place a bulls eye on them and they have to be ready to take care of business. in 03 we beat the Panthers and it seems as if the players got a bit of a big head and in the end played poor the rest of the season. I don't sense that with these Cowboys

Commanders well.....are they still in the league???? :D

True.......but I mean total domination from start to finish in all three facets of the game. Although I had some........there should not have been any doubts after the quarter who was going to win this game.

in one game they held Hasselbeck to a 0 QB rating and Newman had like 4 picks himself. The offense put em out and ST was actually better back than.

THose were complete domination games...

In fact one of the facets that has been holding us back and not getting enough heat has been ST. Which according to BP last year was our bread and butter for any team and has not done much this year. Than one good game and your willing to say...hey Dehaven, thanks for waking up.

I think BP should tell the guy..thats how we play every week. Your fired. You finally had the ST show up for one game. And yes its been one game all season. If we caught the ball and held onto it while trying to hit the ground we, as fans, were relieved. And everytime Crayton got the ball who didnt say just kneel Patrick?

Im sorry..one game out of hte season so far they did alrite...mind you a kicker stopped the first one...im sorry even on that one i saw TD.

I think it's a tie.

It took him FOUR games to realize this?

Geezlouise...

Yep, Mary Poppins. I do have a sunny disposition.
