Starting DLine RDE Jason Hatcher NT Jay Ratliff LDE Sean Lissemore The DLine crashes right, towards the ROLB. That position is being played by Spencer on this snap as D-Ware is playing LOLB. Leaves D-Ware one-on-one. The Good: * The INT by hatcher * Look at how quick Sean gets pass the RT. If it wasn't for the FB, that could've been a sack for Lissemore. * Look how fast Hatcher was getting around the LT. If it wasn't for the HB, Hatcher would've pushed the QB forward; right into Lissemore. * DWare's bullrush forced the QB to move towards his left and take a step forward. That means the QB had one eye down the field and one of DWare. The Bad: * Tavaris Jackson, Seahawks QB, had too much time. But he also had 7 blockers to 4 rushers. * Ratliff slipped and made him take longer then necessary to get off his block. (3 seconds) * Keith Brooking was defending against #26............. Bonus: Big hit by Ratliff (00:08) Watch how Hatcher removes the HB out of the play. (00:05)
According to ProFootballFocus... Dallas vs Seattle: Kenyon Coleman (-1.6) Marcus Spears (-3.3) Sean Lissemore (+2.4) Jason Hatcher (+1.7)
The video isn't good quality and you have to work a bit to find him because he isn't pointed out, but you will be pleased with his efforts. He is #2. 5'10" 188lbs 4.40 40yd Proj: 3rd - 5th Round School: Cal Poly The first thing that you'll remember after watching him is his toughness. He is a strong CB who will go head on with a RB to make the tackle. He shows that Dez Bryant aggressiveness. Given the opportunity, he'll lay out a WR. Asa is fast with Mike Jenkins type speed and shows good agility. He's also a return man with a good ability to find the ball in the air. This is extremely important for CBs when an offense goes deep. Here's an article on him from August 22, 2011. Here's a video to one of two of his pick-6 so far this year. Jump to 1:52. For Comparison: Orland Scandrick - 4.32 40yd Frank Walker - 4.33 40yd Mike Jenkins - 4.38 40yd Gerald Sensabaugh - 4.44 40yd
No, not Von Miller. Julian Miller! Another RKG. Plays non-stop football. Doesn't quit on a play. Plays 3-4 DE with good strength and acceleration. Victor Butler speed. 6' 3" 268lbs 4.76 40yd For comparison: Victor Butler - 4.76 40yd Jason Hatcher - 4.82 40yd Jay Ratliff - 4.85 40yd Projected to be a 4-5 round pick, could be another late round steal if he actually falls that far.
A WR from Arkansas that is a KR and can play HB with DeSean Jackson speed. Currently projected as a 5-6 round pick, but he can very well go higher. If the Cowboys can pick him in the 5th round, its a steal. 5'11" 190lbs 4.38 40yd For comparison: DeSean Jackson - 4.35 40yd DeMarco Murray - 4.37 40yd Kevin Ogletree - 4.38 40yd Miles Austin - 4.47 40yd He fights for extra yards, very agile and shows qualities of the RKG. He isn't afraid to catch the ball in the middle and can take a hit and still hold on to the ball. This kid can spread the field and open up the field for Dez, Miles and Witten. I'd take a shot at Joe Adams and let Ogletree go. Joe Adams is a playmaker.

The Cowboys conducted a light practice at Valley Ranch on Wednesday and quarterback Tony Romo (ribs) and wide receiver Dez Bryant (thigh) were limited during the session with injuries. Fullback Tony Fiammetta was added to the report with a hamstring injury. Fiammetta was listed as limited. Also, Miles Austin (hamstring), David Buehler (groin), Derrick Dockery (knee), Jason Hatcher (calf) and Orlando Scandrick (ankle) did not practice. Phil Costa (knee), Mike Jenkins (shoulder) and Felix Jones (shoulder) did practice with their ailments. It's expected everyone will play in Sunday's game vs. the Detroit Lions with the exception of Austin, Dockery, Buehler, Hatcher and Scandrick.
During his first month as a starter, inside linebacker Sean Lee did something no other player in franchise history has done. He earned the NFC Defensive Player of the Month award. As hard as it is to believe, that is a first for the Cowboys. The award dates to 1986. The Cowboys coaches have credited Lee with 36 tackles, more than twice as many as any teammate. He also has two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, three passes broken up and one tackle for a loss.

PFF Game Ball: DeMarcus Ware, OLB, Dallas Cowboys Anthony Spencer may have caused the game sealing fumble, but it was the continual presence and pressure brought by Ware that stopped the Redskins getting into a rhythm on offense. A 10 total pressure day is pretty good. A Tale of Two Corners It seemed rather odd for DeAngelo Hall (-2.9) to come out and say he was going to target Tony Romo’s ribs. After all, this is a cornerback who has rushed the passer just once all season (in 176 snaps). That didn’t change in this game, and perhaps he should have been less focused on Romo, and more on covering the Cowboys’ receivers. Hall gave up five of the five balls thrown his way, for 85 yards, allowing four first downs and plenty of yards after the catch. In contrast, Josh Wilson (+3.1) made some big plays in the secondary. He allowed only three of eight balls thrown his way to be completed, in large part due to him breaking up four passes.
