From the stands, Donte Jackson looked like the best player on the field yesterday

[Smithers]

He also played a lot of press which I love.

Jackson did a hell of a job for a rookie making his debut

A pick 6 may be coming this year.

He's definitely gonna get one or two of those.

Jackson did play decent for a rookie in his first game but he did not look great at all. His PI and defensive holding penalties we're obvious and avoidable. He was in good position but then tugged on the jersey or grabbed the receiver unnecessarily. He was in position to make the play already. He was too aggressive and it was too easy to call it. What he will learn is to be more subtle and know where the officials usually are standing. He will learn how to impede but not foul obviously. For his first game he was ok but great?? Hardly.  And let's see how he plays against real receivers before we crown home as the best player on the field.

I was 6 rows behind the Panther bench and while he did great for his first start, he was getting away with a ton of illegal contact and the Cowboys clearly have the worst WR's in the league by a wide margin. He still needs a lot a growth. He wasn't the best player on the field at all, but it was a good first impression

I didn't really notice much from Poe yesterday

Poe had a great game. He's faster than Star which is cool to see

[grimesgoat]

If Short is getting pressure and Luke is making a ton of tackles, that means Poe is doing well.

Pretty sure they doubled him most of the day, which is one reason KK had such a field day. Even being doubled, Poe helped bottle up Zeke.

This. I was at the game, and he was taking on a lot of double teams.  Didn't really show anything more than Star yesterday, but he was definitely eating up blockers so KK could eat

The Cowboys receivers certainly aren't the greatest in the world, but I don't know if yesterday is a good game to judge them by. I actually think Dak Prescott was much more of a problem yesterday than they were.

Someone go bump his draft thread lol

His job is to eat space in the run game and occupy blockers so others can run free.  When 59 can go sideline to sideline and knife thru the opposing OL for backside tackles it cause Poe is doing his job.  It’s not glamorous but it’s a huge part of the D.

He definitely played well but the pass rush was just on fire last night. It's easy to play DB when the QB has no time to throw the ball.

The Dallas line wasn't exactly in good shape either.

That was a poo show. Only myself and a couple of others liked the pick. Even Igo didn't like it comparing Donte to Teddy Williams because they're both "fast".

 

lol. Still the jury is still out. It was one game against an average QB who didn't play in the preseason. But so far daddy likes what he sees.
