I think he meant backups that are currently starting (Zappe, etc).

You might want to stick with jizz problem stories.

But he did cause problems we had to spend time adjusting to.
We seemed to figure him out pretty good in the second half. He is a monster of a man that is difficult to run at. But it wasn't difficult to run once we sort of figured out how to deal with him.

We never got the counter counter adjustment to his demanding the double team. Will be interesting to see how Philly adjusts over the season.

I honestly think speeding things up pretty well neutralized him. He is a big fella who gets lazy. Once you start doing no huddle stuff he seemed to get exhausted really quickly. And you kind of prevent him from getting a breather by doing so. Honestly, next time we face them I'd think about going no huddle a good amount and just slowing it down at the line of scrimmage if we need to.

Added bonus of course is if you can score some points in doing so, Hurts playing from behind would be comical against our defense.

They're frauds.
I hate the Eagles more than anything, but they are 6-0.
They made game changing plays against the D who every talking head has blabbered on about for 3 weeks. So are the Eagles frauds and the Dallas D just not as good as advertised?

The Eagles aren't frauds. But spotting the Eagles offense basically 4 turnovers (That dumb fourth and 1 is the same thing) and giving your defense no breather for an entire half of football is sort of a recipe for disaster. And yet giving up 26 points isn't bad at all considering those circumstances.

After thinking about it, I think McCarthy may have cost us the game when he refused to challenge that spot at the end of the first half.

No, we're both frauds.

He said in his experience when the official is that definitive about it, you usually don't win the challenge anyway.

It's dumb. He should trust his spotter, not operate like it is some statistical fact.
