Game Thread: Cowboys @ Seahawks

He really only had 2 poor punts. His last punt for 39 yards and his 4th punt for 40 yards.

Here were his punts

34 for 15 no return
38 to 7 no return
40 to 20 no return
61 to 20 21 yard return
40 to 29 no return
45 to 36 7 yard return
48 to 21 -1 yard return
39 to 44 12 yard return

That last punt was not good. But otherwise pretty solid punting.

Yeah, better than I thought. Only 1 boomer, so maybe that made it seem worse.

He definitely seemed to be targeting his punts more with quite a few being lateral kicks.

Trends to be happy about:

1. O line didn't set the world on fire, but kept a good Dallas front in check. Allowed a 100 yd rusher against same.
2. D line didn't get a ton of sacks but DID get pressure a bunch.
3. Young DB's seem to be settling in.
4. Russ got the ball out quickly.

OL is going to be better... I can see Sweezy keeping the LG starting job even if Pocic is healthy and ready to go...

Brown
Sweezy
Britt
Fluker
Ifedi

is a nasty run blocking OL... I'm liking this moving forward... Pocic has experience and will be able to fill in if needed, which is highly likely due to Sweezy having a tendency to get injured during the course of a year...

Wonder how Pocic would fair at RT? Maybe have him start to practice JUST at RT for the rest of the season and maybe he can take over for the worst RT in the NFL? I know wishful thinking but come on we need some answers there and Ifedi is not and never will be the answer. Another Olineman bust .... damn. Wish the Hawks would have just kept his useless RT ass at Guard and instead of picking up all these "Guards" in the offseason, pick up a RT with upside or something. Good heavens.

I'll be honest... Ifedi didn't do a bad job against the Cowboys...

It may have been his best game as a pro.

I think we may have rushed to judgment a little on the OL after the first 2 very difficult matchups on the road, vs Von Miller and Khalil Mack. Not that Chandler Jones is a pushover, but I think the line may come out ok again this Sunday.

Imo. Give Jones something to be proud of and Have 2 guys block him.

Make the RDT( if they use one) Britt's responsibility

Not bad but far from good, we can not base his play off of his play in past games because it was SO BAD. He could be flat out horrible and still play better than he did the game before but that doesn't make his play NOT horrible. A turd and a polished turd is still a turd lol. He is and has been a liability on the Oline as a tackle so doing anything to improve the position would be a huge help.

I still believe moving him to RT was a HUGE mistake as he has proven that he doesn't have the foot work, speed or agility needed to play on the edge and face edge rushers.
