So true. Mark from last year and half the QB's in this league are going to crumble with pressure like that. He's definitely maturing.
Brick deserves some credit for the job on Dware...he only got around him once and after that was completely neutralized when he lined up over there. he also had a TD saving tackle. BT has a really good game too. He did a fantastic job setting the edge and showed fantastic athleticism all night long.
All of the previously mentioned certainly deserve credit. But I'm going outside the box here.... Offense: Santonio Holmes He was explosive early on, and it prompted the cowboys to double him late in the game. Which led to 1 on 1's elsewhere. Tone drew the safety into double coverage on the Plax TD, Tone is the reason Plax was 1 on 1 against a 3rd string corner. Never would have happend if Tone wasnt making plays early on. He also opened up lanes for DK and LT underneath. Tone may not have had a big numbers game, but his impact was incredible. Kudos to him for drawing so much attention last night. Defense: Jim Leonhard. He was in on a lot of run plays, and he was solid, not great, but solid in coverage. But he gets my ball for one play. Chasing down Witten. If he doesnt go all out to stop Witten from scoring, Romo never has an opportunity to be an idiot. Devito never has a chance to force a fumble and we go down 21, and undoubtably lose. Jim Leonhard's all out effort every play is huge for this team. That play literally saved the game. Without it, nothing else would have happend, and even if it did, the Mcknight blocked punt ends up being meaningless as we still would have been down 7. ST: T.J. Conley Mcknight is really the ST player of the game, and I thought that pre punt block. But he is getting all the credit, so its time to spread it around. Folk was great on KO's and on the game winner. But the guy I want to spotlight is T.J. Conley. He helped to pin the cowboys deep early and often. He didnt have a bad punt all night. He had some big kicks to flip field position and he really helped us in the field position battle last night. I am certainly happy to see he played a great game last night. Makes me feel a lot better about our punting situation going forward. All in all, everybody deserves credit, but this is just a spotlight on 3 guys who flew under the radar from a credit perspective.
