No Dak, no problem. Cooper Rush started his second game in 2022 and did a great job by completing 21 of his 31 throws for 215 yards, and an important touchdown passing to CeeDee Lamb, who helped push forward the Cowboys over the Giants halfway through the final quarter. In 2 games Rush is handling the enormous responsibilities of the Cowboys quarterback with ease and confidence, proving he’s capable of taking over the reins as Dak Prescott is recovering. Rush’s performance has helped the Cowboys beat over the Giants in excess of one yard per play. His string of successful completions on the touchdown drive mentioned earlierwhich included a shot to Lamb to make a fourth-and-4 and a fourth-and-4 — led for the Cowboys to a huge victory early in the season. The illogical quarterback debate to Twitter users to distract themselves in the weeks ahead In its place, we’ll be able to acknowledge Rush has definitely helped himself tremendously by his performance in the past two games. Dallas is now 2-1 due to the fact that it.
The Giants line is still having difficulties. The numbers don’t reveal that but Daniel Jones played quite well (save the final shot that ended up in the hand by Trevon Diggs). Jones seemed exactly like the star quarterback Giants fans had hoped to see him become over the past couple of years. He looked calm, and even if some his passes were a bit way too fast, he allowed it to fly throughout the evening. Unfortunately, his receivers did him no favors on the other side of his throws, neither did the ones who had to guard his safety. The blame isn’t on Jones and his offensive line, who surrendered QB pressures on 40.5 percent of his dropbacks on Monday night. Jones was literally in the middle of the contest, and was tackled five times but still managed to find ways to help keep the Giants on the right track. He didn’t have enough time to settle and that’s a sign of the state of New York’s present in the front. The rookie defensive tackle Evan Neal — the preferred candidate of the defensive director Dan Quinn — won’t be interested in watching the tape however it could be an excellent training tool for the first-round choice.
Saquon is…back? Saquon Barkley is leading all running backs with rush yards more than expected over the course of 3 months (+112) and is second only to Lamar Jackson among all positions. Barkley has racked up 27 of that RYOE amount on Tuesday night with +31 in his 36-yard touchdown rout. The play has been a long-time waiting for Giants fans who had to wait for years for Barkley to be back in the performance that led to him being selected as the second overall pick in 2018. Barkley has finally appeared to be fit and ready to make an impact every week for the Giants offense, showing the speed, agility and change of direction high speed that once brought him to the whole NFL. The timing is ideal as it is in the midst of a contract year. If he’s fit throughout the season long, the Giants are certain to be in a better place for each game due to his contribution.
Dallas’s rushing attack: Also back. The 10-gallon hat to Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott who together rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown on just 28 runs. Their efforts effectively insulated Rush and established an offensive line which controlled the match. It also contributed to helping Dallas offensively move the ball with consistency throughout the game. Penalties hindered their offensive goals however, Elliott played a key role during a couple of crucial moments of short-yardage that culminated in a game-winning 1 yard Elliott score. The risk of running was also instrumental in keeping the defense in check by giving Rush the chance to move the ball along the field. It was particularly effective in the run that led to the decisive touchdown. the majority of the credit is due to the addition the play of Jason Peters at left guard. A perfect example occurred at third-and-12 during the opening half the first half, when Dallas decided to toss left, and was able to pick up the first ball on the 27-yard Elliott run. This is what has made that team Cowboys an excellent team at the beginning of Elliott’s career. While Elliott isn’t the similar home run hitter from previous years, the two-two combination consisting of Elliott and Pollard could be a powerful weapon for Dallas when it continues to block this effectively in frontregardless of who’s the quarterback.
Dallas The defense of Dallas is more than Micah Parsons. The linebacker in the second year of his career is an absolute game-breaker but the night of Monday was truly a tribute to the Demarcus Lawrence. Coordinator of defense Dan Quinn played around with Lawrence’s line of play for the majority of the game, causing problems for New York’s offensive line, which is often criticized and Lawrence made the most of it with a total to four pressures, three sacks. Parsons also added four pressures, and the two teamsing along with Dorance Armstrong (four pressures and 1 sack) to take on Jones throughout the night. Dallas finally made the most of the win in the front, when Diggs performed a diving intercept to win the game and cap off a night that could be a reason to make Quinn happy with his team’s constant ability to be a force. This will be a huge issue more in the days ahead.
