EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Bruce Carter contributed seven tackles. Wth Sean Lee sidelined with a hamstring injury, he also made the defensive calls. But the lasting image from Carter’s day was what he didn’t do.
On a 27-yard touchdown pass from Giants quarterback Eli Manning to tight end Brandon Myers in the third quarter, Carter had a mental lapse. As Myers fell to the turf, Carter didn’t bother to touch him. Neither did safety Jeff Heath, who was in the vicinity. Myers got back up and ran into the end zone. The touchdown made the score 21-13, and reduced the Giants’ deficit to eight points.
“I thought he landed out of bounds so that’s why I kind of stopped on the play,” Carter said.
Head coach Jason Garrett talked to Carter and Heath after his gaffe, offering them words of encouragement.
“My message to them when they came off was this: ‘It was a bad play. It’s done. We are going to need you guys as we keep going,’” Garret said. “I thought they responded well.”

That's some Wade Phillips garbage. Both of those players needed to be destroyed. Send a message that amateurish mistakes like that won't be tolerated.
Way too much coddling goes on in Dallas. This defense makes tons of mistakes every game and instead of kicking the players in the ass to get their attention, they're patting them on the backside letting them know everything is going to be okay.
