"IRVING, Texas — Dallas Cowboys linebacker Justin Durant had seen enough. He was tired of the rookies messing up candy and water orders for road trips for the veterans. So Durant made rookie linebackers Anthony Hitchens and Keith Smith decorate the linebackers room with a Halloween theme. There are orange tablecloths, goblins, spider webs and hanging pumpkins.“We were letting the rookies get away with murder and having a real easy year,” said Durant, the eight-year veteran and oldest member of the group at 29. “They don’t have our candy on time, they don’t have our waters in the refrigerator and stuff like that. So we decided to take it up a notch and I made them decorate for Halloween.” Click the title to read more…"

"Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden continues to play it coy regarding Robert Griffin III. Gruden told reporters on Thursday that Griffin is “steadily progressing” in his drills, but an announcement on the quarterback’s availability against the Dallas Cowboys won’t be made until Monday night.

He says while many people love the Cowboys there are much more serious things they do pray about. Click the title to read more…"

Hatcher Not Surprised By Dallas Defense’s Improvement This Season
David Helman – DallasCowboys.com

"IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys’ defensive turnaround has come as one of the surprise storylines of this NFL season, as they’ve improved from worst in the league last year. He might be on a different team now, but that reversal doesn’t come as any kind of shock to Jason Hatcher.“Coach Marinelli, I knew from the day he got the job he was going to change things around,” Hatcher said Thursday. “I know what kind of guy he is, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before those guys were playing well.”Hatcher was perhaps the lone bright spot on the Dallas defense last season, as he earned a Pro Bowl selection for his 11 sacks on the year – most in the league among defensive tackles. He leveraged that success into a four-year $27.5 million contract with Washington."
