Secondary Play Critical Next 4 Games

[DBoys]

We have the 6 win Giants, 5 win Commanders, 7 win Packers and 6 win Lions. All of them powerful offenses except for WAS.

I trust Romo and have no doubts about the offense scoring points. I trust our run defense but our pass defense scares the crap out of me. The pass defense lost us the game against NE. Everytime the O strikes first the pass D lets teams march down the field and score. The cushion our DB's give WR's is so frustrating.

Henry playing again is huge because it keeps Nate Jones off the field at CB. D played a lot better than previous weeks but the problem is Philly is not a good measuring stick because they have struggled to score points consistently.

I think we are capable of beating anyone we play but the secondary needs to step up and start shutting down teams on 3rd down for crying out loud.

The Giants are not Philly

I was impressed by how well Henry played on his very first game back against a pass happy team. Very encouraging.

Yes he had a very good game.

I thought the half time adjustments were spot on. If the pass D plays like they did in the second half I will not be stressed

other than Cooley, i dont see a need for our secondary against the skins.......we need to load the box with 9 and stop the run and crush campbell.

GB and Detroit arent very good at running. So I think we will be living in the nickle and dime with them a lot.

If we can get to Kitna, he has no mobility and is easily rattled. If we can shake him early, like Philly did, we should be in great shape.

I was very happy to see both T-New and Henry on the field. Reeves was put between a hard place and a rock and done very well but I want the best 2 corners we have playing the rest of the way for Dallas.

I hope we make Kitna pay for running his mouth last season. I don't care if what he said was the truth. Bradie James is playing much better this season. I hope he remembers Kitna's "Number 56" remarks and has a monster game against them.

Totally agree on WAS. Make Campbell beat us in the air.

Giants are the only team that scare me. I think GB and DET are products of a very easy schedule but they can definately score.

You forgot the Jets game on US Thanksgiving

I think the Packers have a really good receiving unit; Jennings, Driver, Jones, Lee. No run game will hurt them though. But I still wouldn't sleep on those guys. They have 2 good corners as well. Their safeties Atari Bigby and Nick Collins aren't that good.

I think Brett Favre freaks out seeing his old nemesis Jason Garrett on th sideline and has flashbacks of the red baron's onslaught against Terrell Buckley and company back in the day, Favre retires having never won at Texas Stadium, regardless of the Cowboy quarterback.

Well Newman in the slot is a big deal and we saw that tonight.

Hopefully watkins is able to play this week. Hopefully it is just an ankle sprain that he can play with, we need him on special teams as bad as the dime and other odd man defensive sets.

You could've just said th REAL Thanksgiving.

Watkins got hurt?

We finally have speed at the corners. Newman and Reeves are doing a fine job.

Henry is back to playing his 10 yard cushion, and jumping anything that remotely looks like a slant.

Jones is back to the prevent package.

The NYFG and Lions are threats. I'm concerned about the Giants. Going to their house after their bye is a tough one. We'll see.

Henry is back and had another interception ....... funny how you did not mention that.

Just stop it. Reeves gave up a long TD last night, while still ailing Henry got an INT. While Reeves has filled in nicely, he still got lot of learning to do

I look forward to the Giants game and I expect Dallas to go in and win this game.
