What Makes Dallas Defense Special

Watch What Makes Dallas Defense Special - Dallas Cowboys on Dailymotion

00:00 What do you make of the Dallas defense not allowing an offensive touchdown to the Eagles?

00:06 Michael Parsons being sick, but he was at practice today.

00:10 What do you make of the way that they're playing right now?

00:12 Yeah, to do that to A.J. Brown, who got nine catches, but inconsequential, to do that to

00:17 Jalen Hurts, and they just clogged him up completely.

00:21 He was able to produce relatively nothing.

00:25 It's very impressive.

00:26 That's what jumps out to me about what Dallas did against Philadelphia and how it can travel.

00:30 Of course, in NFL parlance, defenses travel, right?

00:34 Defenses travel when you're ball hawks like the Cowboys are.

00:39 This is an intercepting kind of team.

00:41 It's a big deal to Dan Quen.

00:44 Prioritize of course.

00:45 You've got Mr. Pick Six on your team.

00:48 Well, that's right.

00:49 Every team prioritizes it.

00:50 Every team wants to get interceptions, but this team has guys with particular skills,

00:53 including Daron Bland.

00:54 Of course, Trayvon Diggs on inter-reserve now for the year, but as good as there is

00:59 in that department.

01:00 But against Philadelphia, it wasn't about graceful ballerina ball hawking.

01:06 It was about fumbles.

01:08 That's a different level of takeaways.

01:11 That means that Donovan Wilson and company are being physical on defense.

01:16 Unlike in the previous Eagles game, where the Cowboys were on the defensive side of

01:21 three Eagles fumbles, but all three of them went to do bounce right back up to them like

01:25 a basketball.

01:27 This time around, the ball bounced like it's supposed to sideways and that a ways and north

01:31 and south with two points.

01:32 The Cowboys are the team that forced the three and they got the three and to get your takeaways

01:39 by not just being physically gifted as a ball hog, but also by knocking people around.

01:46 That's what the Cowboys did.

01:47 That was another level achievement for Dallas and the doomsday defense.
