Here’s a little Cowboys trivia for those know it alls.

Who was the cornerstone acquisition that transformed our 90s team from postseason contenders into Super Bowl champions?
Here’s a hint.... It wasn’t the triplets. They were already here.
Since no one has dared to answer I’ll answer my own question. That cornerstone player was none other than Charles Haley. A pass rushing specialist defensive end. We were just another playoff team until he came aboard and took the DEFENSE to another level

In my defence, I'm only 25 (soon to be 26), so that's why I didn't know that. That being said, that's the difference of a defence.

The six sacks on Eli Manning was a testament to the fact the Cowboy’s defense has arrived. Dallas was relentless with the pressure on the NY Giants. I have been saying since training camp that the Cowboys have the best defense in the NFL. The D-line rotation looks incredible. Taco has come into his on and big Antwaun Woods is consistently clearing out blitzing lanes for the LBs. Dallas finally has a motor grader in the middle of the line.

The Lbs cover sideline to sideline and Jaylon looks like Flash on the field. The Dbs look lightning fast as well and can provide tight press man coverage that give the D-line the opportunity to cause havoc. I am ready for the next game. Defense wins championships.

This pass rush looks like a ballet of sorts that ends in a plane crash.

Far from being convinced being the Gnats are absolutely horrendous. Where was that performance in week one against a better team than the Gnats?! Lol on that Super Bowl theory. Last time I checked there needs to be a few playoff games won first. Give it a couple more years.

Yes, the Giants are dreadful, but, sometimes you need a spark to start you on a nice run, and hopefully the Giants were the spark we needed to get us going the right direction this season.

defense played well vs Carolina. Our offense didn’t produce that game. But the D kept us close.
