I did not want to see him go, but at least there is no threat of this happening again.

If the Dallas Cowboys are going to beat the Philadelphia Eagles this week, they will need another strong showing from the defense.  Rob Ryan’s defense can change significantly from week to week.  It seems that there is much more pre-snap movement and exotic packages against the better offenses (Patriots) than against teams like the Rams.  The reason may be that it is possible to neutralize some offenses (Rams) by simply playing good sound defense, while other offenses (Patriots) can only be slowed down through deception and confusion.  My hunch is that this week we will see more of the latter (massive substitutions, lots of pre-snap movement, unusual formations, strange looking alignments etc.)against the Eagles.
