I was very impressed by Cowboys defense, their linebacker play in particular. Cowboys LBs identify holes quickly, are fast in getting to the spots they need to get to, and most importantly they are sure tacklers! The Cowboys DL also had good pressure on Brees all game.
This game would have been around 23-3 Cowboys if not for some bad penalties by Gregory and Jones. Jones is a UConn guy by the way and one of the best athletes, if not the best athlete, at the DB position in the NFL and the UConn community is very proud of him. However last night he was constantly interfering with Michael Thomas. A few times it wasn’t necessary because Brees didn’t have time and Thomas wasn’t that open. Thomas was over-respected. I thought Jones should just have defended him straight up. Penalties were the only disappointing part of Cowboys performance last night, that and the Prescott fumble which was totally unnecessary if he is using correct pocket ball security technique.
