5. Please call him Mr. Trevor Siemian

As much as we credit defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, last Sunday was simply not his day.

Siemian looked like a great quarterback, and there was nothing the Cowboys D could do to stop him. He finished with four touchdowns and 231 yards.

C.J. Anderson rushed 25 times for 118 yards as well.

Nothing went right for the defense. This is not a knock on the defense, but it looks like they may have underestimated Siemian’s talent.

6. DeMarcus Lawrence is sacking for a new contract

In 2016, Lawrence had just one sack. He has four already to boot the 2017 year. He already has more tackles this year (12) than he did all of last year (11), where he was part of nine games.

The 25-year-old is looking the part, turning into the second rounder the Boys had hoped for.

7. Waiting for Dez Bryant

Dez Bryant’s talent isn’t matching his potential production. After seeing the ball squeeze between his hands and into the defender’s gloves, the disappointment train started to rev up.

At some point, Bryant is going to have that break out game. But are the Cowboys forcing the game to him instead of allowing him to come to it? Perhaps.

Until he finds his game, the Cowboys will never live up to their full potential.
