And throw the safeties in there too. At least thus far, Jones went from potential to All Pro. Church went from "we have no one else to play" to "look how good he is when only asked to play to his strengths" and Wilcox went from scrap heap to making 5 or 6 big plays and even shown some coverage ability.Cowboys
While rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has been a major surprise, the corner play has been the same on defense. It was considered a concern before the season, but even without Orlando Scandrick the past four weeks the corners have played well. Veteran Morris Claiborne is having his best season, while Brandon Carr is coming off his best game this season at Green Bay.
The biggest shock might be how well nickel corner Anthony Brown has played. With Scandrick expected back, there will be even more talent at coordinator Rod Marinelli's disposal. Scandrick, their best corner in 2014, missed last season with a torn ACL and then injured a hamstring early this season. It's unlikely he will be a starter with the way Claiborne and Carr are playing, but he could take Brown's spot inside in the nickel, where he has excelled. Whoever plays, the position is now one of strength.
Anthony Brown has stepped up his game for the Cowboys. USATSI
