Rtnldave 194 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Not to be a rumor monger but I heard on sports radio in Philly this morning on my way to work that Dez and T Will have high ankle sprains and will miss 4 to 6 weeks minimum. Not sure how much of this is BS or wishful thinking or even true. Any word? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HDsportsfan 489 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Listening to Cowboys Break now. They're getting ready to address this in a few minutes. But as of right now they don't seem to think either will 4-6 weeks. But who knows how much these guys really know. It's still early in the diagnosis I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HDsportsfan 489 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't know. Between Talkin' Cowboys and Cowboys Break, both shows are indicating that there isn't any major concern with either. At least to the extent of 4-6 weeks. But they could be blowing pixie dust and sunshine bias. Apparently way more concern with Crawford and Smith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
resilient part 2 1,039 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Imagine if Dallas can't go without Dez, Wiliams and ZEKE? the fact that this is actually a strong possibility scares me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could be without Smith also How Dallas handles this going forward could define the second half. To some extent, I think Green, Butler, and our RBs can step up, but we might need some help from ou defense also. Could be a good litmus test for Dak too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyronnosaurus 259 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Ideally, Tyron would play and the line would create the same holes for Morris/McFadden/Rod to average 4.5+ ypc. And then we'd have Witten and Beasley moving the chains with Brice Butler actually catching passes and getting those 40+ yard plays. Then after that it's praying Brown and/or Switzer can step in and make plays. Easier said than done, but with this offensive line and Dak, I still believe we can beat Atlanta without Dez and Williams. I have a feeling Tyron will play.

resilient part 2 1,039 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I haven't heard any updates on Dez, Williams and T Smith? are there any?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirk Gently 32 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Smith and Dez out today. Williams in. Hopeful that Smith will practice this week. Dez injury is offcially a bruise, not soft tissue. Surprise participant (Limited) Dan Bailey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't why, probably just wishful thinking, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Neal in action. Have a feeling he is going to do some damage. Praying for hammie...

DaBoys 1,961 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) "Lewis Neal knows he's smaller than the average NFL defensive tackle. The 6-0 rookie out of LSU is up to 280 pounds after entering his senior season at 264 and bulking up to 272 for the draft in April "I'm strong though," the college defensive end insisted Wednesday after practice. "I broke the power-cleaning record at LSU" "Whenever we've asked him to do something, he seems to show up," Garrett said. "He's a smaller guy, but he's strong. He plays with good quickness and explosiveness and plays with good leverage, so he'll be part of that mix inside." Seems like Neal might be dynamite Edited November 9, 2017 by DaBoys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D82 2,789 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Wasn't he giving Martin some trouble in the off-season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rtnldave 194 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 If nothing else, he is fresh and coming in without any injury concerns or nicks. If he can contribute to pushing the pocket and stuffing the run he will only add to what has become a very pleasant surprise of am pass rushing D line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
