These two rookies are the key to a "W" tomorrow

[Scotman]

Maliek Collins and Anthony Brown.

I don't believe the Steelers defense can stop our offense. Given that, I think the battle in question that we must win is our defense vs. their offense. And that battle is going to really depend on getting consistent pressure on Toothlessburger and slowing down their formidable receivers.

Both of these rookies seem to be getting better and better.

Thoughts?

I think you are reaching.

There are two rookies who will make the difference and their names are Dak and Zeke.

If only we had drafted Quisperny G'Dunzoid Sr. in the 2nd round. I won't turn this into a draft "what if" thread. Brown and Collins have been OK picks.

Totally agree...I should have stated it better. I think their impact is a given.

I thinking what the op is saying is that he doesn't question if Dak and Zeke will show up; he expects that.

They've been doing some good things for us. I'm hoping they keep stepping it up a notch or two each week.

 

[Teague31]

I think Darius Jackson and Rico Gathers are the key

That is what almost every Cowboys game will be determined by the rest of the way.

Everyone's a key in such a big game!!!!!! Including the people working the side lines. Heck even you couch potatoes will play a role via a microphone on your TV set that broadcasts your cheers via a loud speaker mounted on our side lines.

Those 2 have been a big part of the defense. Both were terrific picks. They've finally got a DT with size (and quickness) after all these years of often appearing to be too small across the front. With Scandrick out early and Claiborne out now, Brown has been incredibly valuable. Normally they could have used Byron Jones as the 3rd CB but now that Wilcox is playing in place of Church, they have limited options to replace Jones at Safety if he plays CB. Heath is OK for about 10 snaps per game but it's obviously better if he does not play a large number of snaps.

Speaking of the draft, I'm curious about the prospects for Tapper. Can he recover from his issue. They must have thought it was a possibility because he didn't go on IR immediately. I thought once he went on IR that surgery might be an option. I'm surprised that time/rest is enough to solve his issue, but I don't really know all of the details.
