COWBOYS OFFENSE
The key thing to note here is that Doug Free already seems to have won any battle with Alex Barron at LT. We very much liked Free last year because, while he isn’t the prototypical road-grader the rest are, he can actually hold his own in pass protection. We graded him a good 5 points higher than any of his teammates in 2009, and nothing I saw last night suggests he won’t be able to make a solid LT. Barron, on the other hand, got beaten around the outside by Jonathan Fanene for a strip sack that probably gave Rams fans an uncomfortable feeling of déjà vu.
Another area of interest is the role of No. 2 TE. With everyone hyping Martellus Bennett as a future star before the 2009 season began, his lack of impact in the passing game overshadowed his excellent work run blocking, where he was our fifth-ranked TE. Now, with Bennett sidelined by a nagging ankle injury, John Phillips has the chance to prove he may be a more consistent option. Phillips played as a pure FB for most of last year, logging about half the number of snaps of Bennett and less than a quarter of the pass routes. But here he looked very sharp, even being used in the slot, and picked up four catches for 60 yards. Is it possible that Phillips will overtake Bennett in the two-TE set?
COWBOYS DEFENSE
Given how Keith Brooking played in coverage last year (rating a solid +3.2 from us), we thought it was bizarre that Dallas insisted on using Bobby Carpenter (rating -2.5) instead of him in the nickel. When the Cowboys went to five DBs in this game, Brooking stayed on the field with Bradie James in their usual 4-2-5. (As an aside, our Rams training camp insider told us that although Carpenter may have got rid of his ponytail, he hasn’t lost his tentativeness taking on blockers.)
At safety, Alan Ball has taken over at FS from departed Ken Hamlin but you won’t find his name anywhere on the stat sheet. In fact, he played so deep I could hardly determine if he was on the field most of the time as the Cowboys utilized Gerald Sensabaugh as an additional LB. Whether this was a simple tactic for this game only or a season-long trend remains to be seen.
Other notes:
Marion Barber and Felix Jones seemed completely interchangeable, as both played an equivalent number of snaps before giving way to Tashard Choice.
With Marcus Spears out it was no surprise his regular backup, Jason Hatcher started.
The second-string Cowboys OL was: LT Alex Barron, LG Mike Tepper, C Travis Bright, RG Pat McQuistan and RT Robert Brewster.
The second-string Cowboys defense was: NT Junior Siavii, RE Stephen Bowen, LOLB Brandon Williams, LILB Jason Williams, RILB Leon Williams, ROLB Victor Butler, LCB Cletis Gordon, SS Barry Church, FS Michael Hamlin, RCB Jamar Wall.
