Cowboys-Raiders Recap and Impressions

1st Team Defense

1. The trenches will give you reason to worry about the run. Darren McFadden and Lonyae Miller were getting good yardage on our defensive line.

2. Conversely, the pass rush seems better. Kenyon Coleman was able to push the pocket and force Carson Palmer into lofting up a duck. Our corners must be buying that fabled time our pass rush needs to be effective.

2. You could immediately see the teachings of Jerome Henderson manifest. When Palmer rushed his throw, I was fully expecting our guys to lose sight of the ball. Scandrick was playing the receiver and not tracking the ball. But Sensabaugh tracked the ball nicely in the air to make the pick.
