FRISCO, Texas – The wonders of a noon game are amazing.

The Cowboys finished off their 26-24 win against Detroit at an uncharacteristically early hour, which meant I was already watching the tape on Sunday evening.

Having had some extra time to digest what we just watched, I came away impressed with my second watch. The Cowboys’ offense obviously played their best game of the season, and there was a lot to break down from this defense on both the positive and negative side.

Here’s my breakdown of the re-watch:

Here’s my breakdown of the re-watch:

· We haven’t seen the waggle/boot pass work with much success early in the season. Opponents have taken it away from the offense by playing the correct assignment and not letting Dak Prescott get outside the pocket. On his pass to Geoff Swaim, Prescott took advantage of the Lions’ over pursing on the fake to Ezekiel Elliott. This allowed Prescott to get the ball to Swaim early instead of waiting until the defense had a chance to recover. Swaim received an exceptional block down the field from Tavon Austin to gain an additional 14 yards.

Perhaps but it was still cool having a real insider post here. I never attacked him and thought it was dumb for fans to run him off. To each his own...

I like reading Broaddus. He has been inside the war room and it's interesting to read how a real scout evaluates players. Regardless whether he's right or wrong or differs from what you see, he has been there, done that unlike most here.
 
Actually a good read. I agree in regard to Awuzie....he waantw bad. He was stuck to his guy on every play but there was a combo of great passes and great catches. Sometimes it just happens.
