Give credit where credit is due Youth Brett Maher Jesey , the Cowboys defense is balling and it’s not the competition Ed. Note:player Tony Casillas would be joining BTB and doing some podcasting and some writing. He’s already done a few podcasts, you can check out the latest one here. Now, he’s jumping into writing. Here’s his first article. Welcome, Tony! — DaveYou hear the excuses - “The Giants weren’t that good on offense!” or “Wait until the Cowboys play a better opponent.” Don’t listen to it, just go ahead and discard that into the garbage bin. The bottom line? It’s hard to win in the NFL and after two games (I know, only two games) we can declare the Cowboys defense is good!On Gameplan Wednesday, as we used to call it in our meeting room, we discussed our goals for the week: start fast, minimize big plays, stop the run and create opportunities.Without a doubt the Cowboys have started fast. After two games they’re ranked fourth in scoring defense giving up 14.5 points per game and fourth in yards per game at 274.5. The Carolina Panthers and New York Giants have formidable playmakers including Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey Cheap Travis Frederick Jersey , Odell Beckham, Jr., Eli Manning and Saquon Barkley, so instead of minimizing the Cowboys performance, let’s give them credit. Early on this Rod Marinelli defense has showed what disruption and passion is all about. The love was spread around in the Giants game among Taco Charlton, Jaylon Smith, Damien Wilson, DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, and Antwaun Woods. They all had big plays and the secondary held OBJ to five receptions. I’lladmit when there were five minutes left in the game and the Giants had only 150 yards,and three points all game long, I didn’t realize how dominating their performance had been. While the Cowboys offense continues to try and find its identity Cheap Josh Rosen Jersey , Jason Garrett must be feeling pretty good about his defense.It doesn’t matter what team you play in the NFL. Everyone is paid to play and play well. Give credit where credit is due. Don’t take that away by stating that the opposing team did not play well. Don’t listen to the noise about the level of competition, the Cowboys defense is getting it done - period!Jason Garrett: Sean Lee should practice in a limited way, David Irving on track It’s Friday of game week with a big clash awaiting against the Jaguars. As such, Jason Garrett took to the mic to update us on the latest Cowboys news. (All Garrett answers are paraphrased and not actual quotes.)Did Randy Gregory hurt his knee in practice? No, it’s just something that has been bothering him for a bit.How did David Irving look yesterday?Seemed fine, hopefully he’ll have another good day today. He is here today.Who will or won’t practice today?Joe Thomas will not practice today. Sean Lee should belimited today, hopefully D-Law and Chido will practice, probably be limited. Sean is progressing.Is there a moment when you realized things had really changed for Jaylon Smith?Him coming back from injury has been so impressive every minute, every day. His approach, mentality, even the first year when he was not playing, then we got the news about the nerve regenerating Cheap Christian Kirk Jersey , then him just practicing and playing in games, it was unbelievable. A big step was taking the brace off, that freed him up. His spontaneous movement improved dramatically over the offseason. He’s a driven guy with great spirit and will, his recovery is a reflection of that. He’s become more confident, he’s been able to sustain performance at a high level without lapses. He has played well, and is a great leader.Brice Butler?Brice is a smart guy, no issues mentally with the playbook, we are just getting him acclimated physically, back in a routine. He is competing for a spot, a role on game day.Is it tough to manage six receivers on game day? You have a plan going in, just like we have eight defensive linemen. You have a plan for different personnel, groupings. With the receivers you have specific plays for specific guys www.dallascowboysteamonline.com , you have a plan, then you just execute the plan. You make adjustments as the game goes on.How have the defensive tackles played, the position seems a little undermanned?Those guys have done well. Antwaun Woods health was a health concern going into the game and he played outstanding. Crawford is playing well. Hopefully Maliek Collins can practice today and have a role in the game. They did a good job defending the run in Houston, and they affected the QB. We like them and they are competing.Will Tony Romo be here today for a production meeting?Yes he will be here today. It’s great having him, he did it last year, I have the utmost respect for him, the guys like seeing him, it’s fun to see him. cheap football jerseys
