Re: Most Improved:
 

did it look like the refs stopped the play alittle early on that safety?

Re: Most Improved:
 

tackling was better. cooley got pushed back a LOT while blocking, but at least he was in the gameplan today. el's been pretty solid too.

Re: Most Improved:
 

Holdman played well.
I thought the whole defense looked much better today even in giving up some yards to a good offense.

The D still had big problems on 3rd downs but overall it was a much better effort.

Agreed. I incorrectly predicted that Carter would have a sack. The pass rush seemed to be improved, but it was not good. Our defense was getting pressure, but it was usually a second late. Carter was drawing some doubles, but he was pretty much a non-factor and the Cowboys were running at him a lot.

The secondary was better, but still has a ways to go. The corners and safeties didn't give up as many 20+ yard plays as they have recently.

To hold Dallas to 19 points made me happy.

He did have a big tackle for a loss on the Glenn reverse and maybe a half-sack of Romo. He was in the general area. To me, he's just not an every down player. He's a third down specialist.
