Recall that Stephen Jones told
@1053thefan
that players weren't supposed to report until at least 10:30 a.m. today.
Larry Allen is one of the best offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL, and he was certainly the strongest. Good lord, look at what Reggie White did to this man.

Fun fact: the

' haul of five prime time games extends their streak of consecutive seasons with five-plus prime time games to 15.
No one else in NFL history can claim that. No one.
Well. I found my guy.
"Growing up in Texas, I was a big Dallas Cowboys, and my dad was a big Cowboys fan. I watched Romo every week of the season for his whole career. He's a great QB, a guy who has a ton of comeback victories." -- Patrick Mahomes
Troy Aikman tells
@dfwticket
that
#Cowboys
QB
#Dak
was "flawless" against the
#Buccaneers
. Says there was a tremendous amount of pressure on No. 4, and he was outstanding. But Aikman thinks he's been outstanding all year long. The interceptions overshadowed that.
#Cowboys
are bringing back the red helmet stripe for the
#Broncos
game. The red helmet stripe has not been seen since the '76 season. Dallas went 11-3 that year, won the NFC East, and held the No. 2 seed in the conference.

' Mike McCarthy says
@EzekielElliott
looks great. Says he's "been here the whole time." Says No. 21 is in the front row every meeting. Zeke even goes to QB and OL meetings.

' Mike McCarthy says
@TrevonDiggs
loves to compete against a team's No. 1 WR.
"He’s always on. He loves to compete, definitely wants those challenges. Didn’t want to come out of the game, just wants to keep playing."
Since 2019, when the
#Cowboys
went to Kellen Moore as their OC, Dallas leads the NFL in 40-burgers:
1. DAL — 12

Troy Aikman told

that
#Rams
QB Matthew Stafford may be feeling what
#Browns
QB Baker Mayfield felt in having to force the ball to Odell Beckham. Aikman also wonders if the Rams' recent acquisitions have shaken the team's foundation.

@EzekielElliott
on NFL Network just now says he told the locker room that the win over the
#Saints
was not good enough. They let their foot off the Saints' throats.
With a minimum of 20 passes,
@dak
has become:
1. First QB since Ben Roethlisberger & Jared Goff last year to achieve perfect passer rating (158.3)
2. First
#Cowboys
QB to do so
3. 30th QB in NFL history to ever do it
My evaluation:
Garrett -- get
Moore -- get
Kitna -- stay
Brown -- stay
Lal -- your choice
Nussmeier -- your choice
Colombo -- stay
Rod Marinelli -- get
Leon Lett -- your choice
Ben Bloom -- get
Kris Richard -- get
Greg Jackson -- your choice
Keith O'Quinn -- GTFO
#Cowboys
' Jerry Jones tells
@1053thefan
they have defensive line (Trysten Hill, Osa Odighizuwa), safety (Donovan Wilson), and tackle (Tyron Smith) help coming.
Troy Aikman tells
@dfwticket
that he sees coordinators across the league running schemes instead of seeing your best receiver is being single covered. Says he would have thrown Michael Irvin the ball 10 times if he were single-covered as CeeDee Lamb was in the wild-card.
#Cowboys
' Dan Quinn says after he got fired from the
#Falcons
, he took a deep dive looking at his scheme. Says Pete Carroll has been his biggest influence defensively. He looked at all of the Atlanta tape from 2015-20 — good, bad, ugly. He did not want to rinse and repeat.
“I’m just glad to be here,” Beasley said at One Bills Drive, “where it’s 100 percent about ball and not a show or a brand. It’s purer here."
The new
#Bills
receiver opens up to
@ByTimGraham
on feeling misused in Dallas and the opportunity that awaits:
Well at this point we’re just debating how we’d like to see Dallas lose in the playoffs — get knocked out first round or lose a heartbreaker in the NFC Championship?
If the Cowboys are indeed looking to make a move up from 24, it’s probably for Jordan Davis or Charles Cross if they fall into that 14-18 range.
Wouldn’t surprise me if both are near the top five on their board.
Tony Pollard is set to become the first
#Cowboys
RB since Tony Taylor in 2001 to be active for a regular season game and sport No. 36.
Oh, and both were named Tony. 3+6 = 9, Tony Romo's number.
Fun fact: Amari Cooper caught a 37-yard TD that gave the
#Raiders
the lead over Rex Ryan's
#Bills
on Dec. 4, 2016, in a 38-24 win. Rex and his DC brother, Rob, were fired at the end of the year.

(The Musers) that he and Peyton Manning were talking at John Madden's memorial service about

-
#49ers
and how they couldn't understand why a single-covered CeeDee Lamb didn't see more targets. Aikman said it is commonplace in the NFL anymore.
Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud says he looks forward going "deeper and deeper" in his "relationship" with the
#Texans
. Says he had a good meeting with them.
Troy Aikman tells
@dfwticket
the

he thinks the defense is better prepared to face QBs in the playoffs like Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers than they ever have been.

S Donovan Wilson sacked

QB Josh Dobbs.
Funny thing is on Oct. 8, 2016, Wilson did the exact same thing when he was with Texas A&M and Dobbs at Tennessee. The Aggies beat the Vols 45-38.
#Alabama
DB Jordan Battle says he met informally with the
#Texans
. Says he knows Christian Harris and John Metchie are there. Says Houston asked him if John Metchie is faster than him.
How much of a great effort from

I know he really finished with 101.4, but factor out that Hail Mary. It was 112.9.

It does showcase the skill of the athletes. It shows what happens when all of that combined strength is pushing against another set of combined strength.

LB Micah Parsons says he hasn't had his welcome to the NFL moment yet, other than facing LT Tyron Smith in practice.
"I haven't got hit, but I would say Big T, he puts his hands on me like I'm his son. His hands are so massive and so strong. I just be like, 'Wow.'"
