Great confidence building win for the Cowboys. Even better humility/ wake-up call for the Saints!!! That was just a very good football game.
It was really something. Despite all Daks mistakes, he was still the deciding factor in the win. Those two long runs of his kept us in the game and the Saints off the field.
Things to correct -
Randy Gregory still has a massive upside. He is greater than the penalties. IMO - its hard to fault someone for aggression penalties However lining up in the neutral zone is simply not paying attention
Byron Jones had a couple of penalties. He will get better
We gave up too much pressure on Dak. Not having starting C, LG and LT will do that to you. Still not sure that RT is Collins best spot. Without Zak next to him, not sure he's a lot more than average OT
Other;
While the Saints were running their 4-2-5 with the cover 2 on top with the double on Cooper, Michael Gallup came through more than once. Huge plays at exactly the right time. We may have our 1-2 for the foreseeable future
Taco Charleton is looking more and more like the odd man out.
While DLaw is the big play maker, not sure that Tryone Crawford was the D difference maker last night with the pressure up the middle. Hardly ever did you see Brees able to step up in the pocket which has always been a tool of his
LVE is making a great play for overall D player of the year, not just Rookie. He will be hard pressed to keep out of the Pro Bowl
Brown - I admit, he is better than I gave him credit for. Go ahead and keep him.
Great to see Jourdan Lewis get the game ending grab last night. Still think he's better than Brown but thats just me. Guessing his size holds him back
