Shocking stats, both good and bad

[reddyuta]

The oline needs to get it going.

I think they are struggling to gel with the new guys at OG and OT.

I think it is hurting the other Olinemen as well.

I think I seen T.Smith beat more these last couple of games than I have for the last few seasons combined....same with Beard.

To me Fredbeard is the most consistent olineman we have and to see him pushed back is alarming and it has nothing to do with new 2 olinemen either.the whole unit has to step up because we cant start so slow in games anymore or good teams will bury us.

Thank God we had Dak to lead us to the win!

Mmmmm. I was thinking Lawerence?? and maybe a little Arians!!

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Not going to lie, I am worried about our little tubby RB and also our big tubby Olinemen

3rd down efficiency concerns me. Us and them.

Ya missed the biggest stat thus far. In fact, I believe a lot of our fan base hasn't even noticed the OTHER Demarcus, as in Lawrence. This kid is playing lights out.
Through two games, Lawrence is tied for the NFL lead in sacks with four. He had one all of last season, and his career high was eight, in 2015.
Lawrence sacked Emily twice and then got Denver's QB Siemian twice last Sunday, including a forced fumble.
Although far fetched, Lawrence is on pace for 32 sacks, which would annihilate the NFL single season record of 22.5 set by Strahan in 2001. He gave reporters a hard time about their sudden interest in him. Hey, at least they noticed.

Yeah..It was, amazingly, Defense that was the key to the win.....with a little help from a befuddled Cardinal coaching staff.....

In regards to Zeke, PFF warning, they noted Zeke had a high run grade because he was consistently getting hit in the backfield all night and did an admirable job of getting the yards that he did. I haven’t rewatched the game yet but it certainly feels like that was the case.

 

[haleyrules]

Regarding Elliott. He was slow out of the gate last year too. Add in all the off season drama...his lack of energy may be expected?? He will get stronger..at least on the field. His personality is starting to worry me. He needs to pull his jersey down and pull up his socks.

I like this stat: Dallas 28 Arizona 17

 

[VACowboy]

I also think teams saw what Denver did and they are going to copy it. A lot of 8 man boxes and a lot of run blitzing.

Denver didn’t do anything to the Cowboys that every other team that played them hasn’t tried. It’s not a big secret.

 

[VACowboy]

Lawrence gets all the press but Collins was just as big a factor in the Dallas win last night.

 

[Robbieac]

Since we're just making stats up-- 82% of all football experts disagree with you.

He had a beer in his hand every time he was on TV during the offseason.

Was it a light beer? If not, this could be the issue.

its true---Zeke looks heavier and slower...its easy to turn to food when an addict has to give up his drugs and booze....i know i sure did...i saw pictures of Zeke's stomach
and he does not look cut like last year or year before...anyway i am worried too about Zeke and O Line

it will be interesting to see if somebody tracks this but most of those were against a loaded Box,somebody was coming free on most of those runs into the backfield.

its true...we are not near the number one line in NFL so far....but i heard Broaddus say when he studied tape that Green was doing good..and it was fredricks and Martin that are not getting a push???..i dont know?

True except they have the DBs to shutdown the receivers

 

[Risen Star]

Dallas is lucky that was the Cardinals.

70 percent of this league would have beaten the Cowboys last night.

Exactly right. The Cardinals without their best offensive player too.

We spotted them the 1st half and their own ineptitude had it 7-7 at halftime.

That's what makes this fan party today so ridiculous. I get you want to celebrate a win but if you're not seriously concerned about this team you're a cheerleader.. They look bad. Have since the opener. Without a doubt not as good as last season. They lost their identity on offense.

Did Dak look better than Wentz? That's what excites me. A 4th rounder hanging with a 1st rounder.

VA Cowboy-- i wholeheartedly agree

They've played 6 terrible quarters and 6 dominant quarters. Good enough for 2-1. There are issues to work out. But it's a long season and there are a number of promising signs as well. Relax.

Zeke's extra weight wouldn't bother me if he still had his quickness. But he doesn't. He looks like a mix between Brandon Jacobs and William Perry out there (and not in a good way). Absolutely no burst.

Those runs in the open field would have went for way more yards last year. He must be eating really terribly to not be slimming down nearly a month into the season.

That, along with the offensive line not being cohesive, is what's worrying me the most.
