So good chance at all hands on deck next week? D has over achieved all season so I'm curious how they look with more depth and talent.

 

[Titleist]

Having a bye really, really helps.

 

[Kaiser]

Getting DLaw back would be huge.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

I just hope none of them are rushing back too early only to get hurt again.

Claiborne doesn't exude confidence.

I'd only put him in with our 3-2-6 package. Let him adjust. SLOWLY.

With Scandrick and Jones paired with an opponent's very best receiver, Claiborne is still very significant. Carr and Brown makes the group greatly flexible.

I like Lawrence's comment. This is the time you go all out. No more "day to day" in the playoffs.

I second the statement...

 

[Hailmary]

Great news on Dlaw cause as of yesterday it appeared like he was going be mostly inactive.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Great news on Dlaw cause as of yesterday it appeared like he was going be mostly inactive.

He might be feeling "ten times better" but he was originally 100 times worse. Doing the math, he is now at a negative 90.

I thought that week 5. Not so much.

 

[cowboys1985]

1) Not quite all hands on deck, I'm not a pessimist but the chances of Gregory playing this post-season seem slim.

2) Even if DLaw and/or T. Crawford can only give you a handful of snaps, I'm confident they will give you the best he has for his limited rotation. It will also help keep the other rotational DL fresh throughout the game. A rested Mayowa or Irving may be enough to get that critical game clinching sack.

3) I wouldn't read too much into Mo's comments. He has always stayed cautious with his comments regarding availability after injury, that's just how he is. Barring setbacks, he should be ready to go.
Going up against either Nelson/Cobb/Adams or OBJ/Cruz/Sheppard you need every DB possible. Having Carr, Scandrick, Brown, and Claiborne available will allow you to have your top coverage guys rested and ready throughout the game. I expect a lot of dime packages and Dallas wont have to worry about fatigue leading to broken coverage chunk play.

That's how Dallas D contained Rodgers in GB and how they shut down the NYG WR's (minus 1 play) in NY.

 

[Stash]

Me too. At this point, I'm expect nothing more than another contributor.

 

[CF74]

I missed it but what injury does Ty Crawford and T McClain have going on?

 

[WoodysGirl]

I just hope none of them are rushing back too early only to get hurt again.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Really pumped to hear all this, but especially about Mo and Lawrence. They could be difference makers if they're healthy.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Getting DLaw back would be huge.

Especially if Gregory is gone
