Am I the only one that thinks our D is going to be a force to reckon with? Sorry if this has been discussed but I been away for a few days. I'm thinking Top 5 when Romo and Dez get back so the D can rest between series. Maybe the DB's will look better with this pass rush and my expectations are really high. The media is going to really be sick when they have to talk about Greg Hardy. This dude is something else............

They can for sure be a good unit. But if the offense doesn't change drastically it won't make a difference in the win column.

Only if the offense doesn't go three and out (Weeden's downfall). 2nd half the d will tire out if that happens over and over. Our running game should be more physical with CMike starting.

Finally we have a pass rush, but now we probably won't have an offense till dez and Romo get back. God please let Cassel explode

I doubt it looks like it did in the Pats game, if we perform how we did against the Falcons and Saints while our D steps up, you can get wins.

Yes, the potential is exciting.

The primary concern is that Eli rarely holds the ball for more than 2 seconds (The average is over 3 seconds). That might limit the pass rush. The good thing about it is that the Giants limit themselves because defenders only have to cover their receivers for 2 seconds.

I'm curious to see if the Cowboys will use the 3 man line that worked really well in the 1st half of the Pats game. It seems to be designed to combat the short, quick routes by putting an extra LB into coverage at times.

Our O needs to put some work in on the T.O.P. in order for our D to be any good. If we don't they will tire out. Can you imagine a D that gives us sacks and constant 3nouts for a half and not being able to capitalize with our O? im sure you can.

It happened recently.

Unless Hardy kills Eli at the beginning of the game.

Good eyes. I took note of that as well. The 3 man line was getting good pressure.

It probably won't work but I'd to see this formation:

Lawrence - Hardy - Crawford - Mincey
Lee - McClain - Gregory

w/ Gregory blitzing or playing the run. may be risky but just the chance to have them all on the field at the same time would be fun to see

They actually caused some confusion for Brady with that lineup. If they can cause even a split second of confusion for Brady, imagine what they could do to Eli dumb-face Manning.

Eli can't be as dumb as he looks...That pass rush against the Patriots was for real. Now, lets see how Eli handles it because he is going to get a heavy dose of it. Probably thinking about it already......

If the offense still sucks it won't matter who dallas plays. they will be gassed in no time.

Hardy make a statement to a reporter right after he signed with the Cowboys that Eli makes a funny noise when he gets sacked. I think he implied that he sounds like a goose or duck.

Games aren't won on paper but I am optimistic. More optimistic about this front 7 then I am any other unit.

I believe it enough that I am picking them up as my D/ST for my fantasy-football team next week against the Giants. Data and logic says "Don't do that yet". I tell logic to kiss a fat man's ***. I want to see the Defense turn Eli into a squeaker toy back there. Pain. Embarrassment. Shame. Nothing but the best for Mara's boys.

CHAMPIONSHIP!
