Cowboys And Giants Both Looking Good

I think if Emmitt's out there, the offense is on the field longer because they're controlling the clock with Emmitt's running and thus the defense gets to rest and isn't out there to give up 5 TDs.

What he said. Plus, it was a full on media distraction in Dallas that pre-season. The whole team mailed in those first two games.

I think you have a tougher job answering my question. How will the accomplishments of the 1993 Cowboys help improve the defense we watched last night? It's like saying, "Sammy Baugh led the league in punting in 1943, so I expect Jason Campbell to do it in 2007". Or something close to that.

BTW, I do think Newman's return will help a lot. You gave up a lot of big runs too, though. That did surprise me.

If you ask me, the Cowboys defense at times resembled a wet paper bag. Derrick Ward (their 2nd string) looked like Tiki one a few plays. If it wasn't for Dallas's extremely explosive offense they would have lost that one.

Or crappy Giants defense?
