Wow
Youth Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , that was fun!ly dominating the Jacksonville Jaguars by the tune of 40-7. The offense played wonderful against the league’s top defense and the defense held the Jags to only one scoring possession. It was certainly refreshing to see what this team can do when everything clicks.Let’s take a look at how the rookies performed in the first dominating victory of their young careers. Hint: they, as did mostly everyone else on the team, turned in solid performances on the day.Leighton Vander EschThe Cowboys defense had a history of dropping off when Sean Lee went down with injury. The General would hold the unit together and kept things from going bad until he suffered an injury and had to miss time. That’s not the case any longer.Between Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith, the Dallas Cowboys have gotten excellent play from its linebackers in the absence of their All-Pro linebacker. In the case of LVE, the rookie has played beyond his years for the Cowboys while leading Dallas in tackles in each of the past four games since Lee went down versus the Seahawks.Vander Esch again turned in a pretty impressive performance for the Cowboys, making open-field tackles and reading where Blake Bortles was going with the football. While the rookie was not perfect, he again played well on Sunday.If LVE continues to play at this level, the Cowboys will have a tough decision (but great situation) to make when Sean Lee returns from injury.Connor WilliamsThe rookie offensive guard has played mostly well for the Dallas Cowboys during the first few games of his debut season in the NFL. While some would like to point out his mistakes, the Texas Longhorns product has been a solid piece to the interior of the offensive line. Williams again had a solid performance on Sunday versus the league’s top-ranked defense. He did not do anything that will end up on SportsCenter, but the guard made some key plays that allowed positive things to happen for the Cowboys. First, he helped out an All-Pro left tackle to change a potential sack into yards for the offense.Then, he perfectly executed a pull, which threw off the Jaguars linebackers and opened up a big running lane for Ezekiel Elliott’s touchdown to make the score 37-7 at the time.It appears that the rookie is becoming more and more comfortable as each game comes and goes.Michael GallupThe Cowboys’ third-round rookie wide receiver has shown some flashes here and there during his young career, and he again showed a little bit of what he can do when given the opportunity.Before Dallas went on to dominate the league’s top-ranked defense, the offense had an opening drive that resulted in a field goal after driving down the field. On the opening drive, Dak Prescott found his rookie target for a big 27-yard gain that featured the former Colorado State Rams star make an impressive grab over Jaguars All-Pro cornerback A.J. Bouye:I repeat: that catch was made against an All-Pro corner! Gallup finished the game with just that one catch, but he shows that he can become a receiving threat for Dak Prescott as he progresses in this offense. It was almost two catches on the day and a touchdown for Gallup, but he just failed to get a second foot down on the play before Prescott scored on a run. Dorance Armstrong Jr.Dorance Armstrong made his first career start on Sunday as the Cowboys were cautious with DeMarcus Lawrence, and he did not disappoint. The former Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year possesses upside to develop into a quality defensive end for the Cowboys

Whether it’s Dez Bryant’s finger landing out of bounds, Jason Pierre-Paul blocking a Dan Bailey field goal, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie running down the sidelines for a defensive touchdown, or Tony Romo hitting Jason Witten in the closing seconds of the game - it always seems to be complete madness.Of course, we won’t see any of that on Sunday because none of those players are playing in the game. That’s right, they’re gone. All of them.While those players have bounced, there will be no shortage of playmakers in this game. All it takes is one jump-cut and star running backs Ezekiel Elliott or Saquon Barkley will be off to the races. And we all know what wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and punter Chris Jones can do when they get in space. They’re electric!But who’s going to come up big in this game? Here are four X-Factor candidates for Sunday night’s contest.Michael Sisemore: Cole BeasleyBeasley needs to be that slow death that Jason Witten used to provide this team. The Giants are going to consume themselves with stopping Ezekiel Elliott. That means Landon Collins will be in the box because he has to. It’s too tall a task for New York’s linebackers and there’s not much sealing the edge without Olivier Vernon though their DT’s are still holding down the middle. With corners Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple on the perimeters, look for former Cowboys draft pick, B.W. Webb, to cover Cole Beasley in the slot. I’m not calling for 100+ receiving yards from Beasley but he has a huge opportunity to be the mover of the sticks. The Cowboys aren’t winning this game if they have a repeat of week one in the passing game. Cole Beasley has the best chance to keep this offense alive when it’s needed most.The last time Beasley faced the Giants in AT&T he was just showing off.Tom Ryle: Taco CharltonWith Randy Gregory likely out, look for Taco to get the start at RDE, opposite DeMarcus Lawrence. The Giants know just what a threat DeMarcus Lawrence is, and they will have to give Ereck Flowers some help. That means Charlton is going to be seeing a lot of one-on-one blocking, and that is not good news for Eli Manning. We have been looking for Charlton to have a break-out game, and this is a near perfect situation for him. He has Nate Solder to work against. Solder is certainly a better tackle than Flowers, but Taco showed signs of improvement in the Panthers game. He will know that the Giants will be focused on Lawrence, and in Manning, he basically has a stationary target to get after. Look for him to get a sack and putting pressure on Eli all game. That will make Manning uncomfortable
Zack Martin Jersey , and we all know what happens when that is the case.Dave Halprin: Tavon AustinThe Cowboys failed to get Austin involved in a meaningful way in Week 1. He did have a nice screen at the start wiped out by penalty, but besides a jet sweep that went nowhere he saw very little of the football. This week, he’s going to have at least one big play. Somehow the Cowboys will get him the ball in space, whether on a screen, a play out of the backfield, even a regular old pass, and Austin will make magic happen. Heck, it might even come on a punt return. It’s not going to be a consistent thing, but Austin will have some big plays that will affect the outcome positively for Dallas. The last time Austin faced the Giants, he had six carries for 34 yards, and the Cowboys could use some plays like this on Sunday night.Danny Phantom: Anthony BrownThe Cowboys will win this game if they can just limit big plays. While in the past, Odell Beckham Jr. is the one guy who caused the most concern, but the Giants now have a few offensive weapons that can cause the defense problems. The Giants last two first-round draft picks, Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram, are athletic players who can hurt you if not properly defended.But while all the attention is being put on these stars, it’s the sneaky craftiness of Sterling Shepard that should cause concern. Shepard can be a chains mover and is very effective out of the slot. Cowboys nickel corner Anthony Brown is going to have his work cut out for him this week. Of course, Brown can be sneaky himself and jump routes if he gets a good read on a play. He’s been very good against the Giants as two of his three career interceptions have come against the boys in blue.Shepard is going to win some battles, but all it takes is one slip up by Eli to show what Brown can do for you.Jourdan Lewis didn’t play a single defensive snap last week so we can probably table the idea that he is going to be the team’s nickel corner. For now, it’s Brown’s job and a good performanceon Sunday night could spoil a Giants drive.Which player do you think will be the difference maker in this game?
