Welcome to the #CowboysWire
9.16.18
Jaylon Smith stopped Jerry Jones in the locker room after tonight’s win and told him that he’s “back,” which he elaborated on for us.

Still pretty surreal to stop and think about where Jaylon has been since he heard his name called on draft day #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/R0YC3DTv4N

Personally, I think praise for the Dallas defense matters far more coming from the guys going against it. Plus, some Penn State love. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/aDracvMuW7

94 all-purpose yards and a touchdown for Tavon Austin, on six touches.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
I don’t think the guy needs 20 touches. But I’m thinking 10-12 sounds like a sweet spot #cowboyswire
DeMarcu Lawrence: “We can’t sit back and be satisfied off sacking Eli, we’ve got to go do it again next week and go sack Russell.” #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Sean Lee describes his injury issue as cramping, not anything related to last year’s hamstring problems. Says he’s good to go for Week 3. DeMarcus Lawrence also needed an IV at one point in the fourth quarter. Early season conditioning #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Well. The last five minutes kind of detract from the vibe of the win. But the Cowboys held a division opponent to 13 points and are getting out of here at 1-1. Offense still has some work to do, but they’ll take that #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Not sure I can remember a time when six different guys had a sack in the game. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 17, 2018
Fortunately for the Cowboys, there’s just absolutely nothing the Giants’ pass protection can do against their front. That might be enough to bail them out of this mid-game malaise. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Consecutive holding calls wreck that Dallas drive. Now Giants looking at decent field position. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
The Cowboys are doing this weird thing where they're playing last week's game in reverse. Just progressively looking worse on offense with each possession. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Remember when Tavon played. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 17, 2018
Giants were bound to hit on a big play at some point, and the Dallas defense responded to it beautifully. Still a two-score lead #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
That's starting center Jon Halapio down for New York, and it looks bad given that the cart is coming out. Even more problems for a Giants O-Line that is already thin #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Byron Jones is back in the game at RCB. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Eli Apple has been ruled out for New York with a groin injury #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
He got up and appears to be alright #cowboyswire https://t.co/uHgRM7NZ2M
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
If I’ve learned anything covering the NFL, it’s that, 90% of the time, both teams make a run at some point in the game. If the Giants climb back into this down just two scores, the Cowboys will have no one to blame but themselves #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
this is why he's in the game.. Let's go. Throw it up to 80! #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 17, 2018
The tackling is spotty for a second-straight week. But the talent the Cowboys are running out on defense is undeniable. Lots of reasons to be very encouraged about them #cowboyswire https://t.co/uN6loXz6bu
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Halftime: Cowboys lead 10-0 with 187 yards to NYG's 79, 9 first downs to NYG's 6. Giants rookie Saquon Barkley has 4 carries for only 14 yards. But Dallas is only 1 of 5 on third down offensively and has punted on its last three drives. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Eli's 13 of 15, but he's only getting 4.5 yards per completion. Cowboys will live with that all day. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Look at all these dudes blitzing the QB. If that's not Kris Richard's influence, I don't know what is #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Wow... it's like the defensive coaches have never heard of a QB sneak. No one over the ball? Twice? #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 17, 2018
Cowboys blitz, leaves Taco Charlton unblocked off the edge for the sack. With Randy Gregory inactive, he's in a line for a lotta snaps again tonight. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Eli Manning keeps looking deep but there's nothing there downfield. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Cowboys are getting off the field, but the tackling still looks iffy. That's gonna come back to bite them if it keeps up #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Good stuff happening here. Cowboys' game plan looks like a #good one to this point, and Brett Maher gets his first career points. A really encouraging start #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Zeke with the Pitch/Pancake... #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 17, 2018
Sooo, that 64-yard TD from Prescott to Austin? 4 yards more than their entire first-half total on offense last week vs. Carolina. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Tavon Austin got only 10 snaps on offense last Sunday. Early hole vs. Carolina took them out of their plan for the new WR. They want to utilize his speed. Pretty good example right there. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Tavon Austin was awesome throughout training camp, in a variety of different settings. Getting him touches seems like a very good idea. Cowboys have as many touchdowns after three plays as they had all of last week #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Thank you... Probably 8-9 years now that I've been asking. But that's exactly what I've been waiting for. That speed was unreal. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 17, 2018
Dak threw for a career-high 332 yards last time he faced the Giants. Starts with a completion to Allen Hurns over the middle. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
Giants won the toss and deferred, so Dallas once again start with the ball -- but once again, not their decision #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Allen Hurns, Deonte Thompson and Cole Beasley listed as tonight's starters at WR #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 17, 2018
Randy Gregory is OUT. Rico Gathers is ACTIVE.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 16, 2018
Yes, that’s correct. Rico Gathers is active and available to play in a regular season game for the Dallas Cowboys #cowboyswire
Olivier Vernon (ankle) inactive tonight for the Giants. Connor Barwin expected to start in his place at OLB for NY. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 17, 2018
DeMarcus Ware is in the house tonight. Got a very nice ovation when they brought him up on the big screen #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 16, 2018
Greetings from AT&T Stadium #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/zXVks3xTto
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 16, 2018
Cowboys inactives: Mike White, Xavier Woods, Datone Jones, Travis Frederick, Xavier Su’a-Filo, Dalton Schultz, Randy Gregory #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 16, 2018
Randy Gregory is out on the field going through some warmups, but he doesn’t appear to be wearing any game attire. Not sure I like his chances of going tonight #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 16, 2018
DeMarcus would appreciate your support tonight #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/CNRAAtSYAt
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 16, 2018
After opening the season against Cam Newton, DeMarcus Lawrence said he’s excited to play against an immobile QB like Eli Manning. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/mfI9RaEKxJ
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 14, 2018
Final practice report is out. Travis Frederick, Xavier Woods & Datone Jones have been ruled out. Randy Gregory is listed as doubtful #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/Cmq10JBLRz
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 14, 2018
Jerry Jones, speaking to the guys on @1053thefan: One of the biggest strengths of our team, going against the Giants and heading into the future, is Dak Prescott #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 14, 2018
Jason Garrett anticipates Randy Gregory practicing today. He’s been cleared to practice. Had a concussion in the Carolina game. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 14, 2018
Jerry Jones tells the guys on @1053thefan that Randy Gregory has a better chance to play this weekend than Xavier Woods. Today's practice availability will be big for Gregory's chances. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 14, 2018
Scott Linehan said Thursday he wanted to look at the tape before he talked about the Carolina game, which is why he “no commented” on Sunday.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 13, 2018
Having watched the tape, he had some thoughts. pic.twitter.com/EuNblXnOPV
Marinelli on Saquon: “He’s a home run threat. He’s got the ability to get those jump cuts. He’ll see a hole and he’ll break out. If you don’t have the edges to the defense set, or your corners aren’t replacing correctly, this guy will go to the house on you." #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 13, 2018
Rod Marinelli smiled when asked how Sean Lee has responded this week from missed tackles vs. CAR. “I’m going to ask you this one. How do you think he did?” ... "He’s prideful. He’s our leader. He’s had a heck of a week of practice. He’s going to be ready to play.” #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 13, 2018
DeMarcus Lawrence appears to be ok. Datone Jones was also limited in practice today.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 13, 2018
Janoris Jenkins missed practice for New York, although not due to injury. Olivier Vernon also sat out. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/R0hfEujABV
Dak Prescott, asked today about Landon Collins’ assessment that the Giants need to put the ball in Dak’s hands to win on Sunday: “Challenge accepted.” #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 13, 2018
Jason Garrett says Dak hurt his ankle at the end of the game but he practiced fully Wed. Hopeful DeMarcus Lawrence (groin) can do more in practice today. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 13, 2018
No practice for Randy Gregory today. Jason Garrett says he expects DeMarcus Lawrence to do more today than he did yesterday #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 13, 2018
Dak Prescott is listed on the injury report today (ankle) but he practiced fully. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 12, 2018
DeMarcus Lawrence sat out today, but the Cowboys don’t believe his issue is a serious one.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 12, 2018
Olivier Vernon was a DNP for New York #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/nbQDeICoZ7
Cool stuff you see in the locker room: future HOF safety Troy Polamulu was hanging out with the Cowboys today. Polamalu played at USC with DBs coach Kris Richard #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 12, 2018
Two Cowboys defensive linemen had more snaps than DeMarcus Lawrence (48) against Carolina: Taco Charlton and Antwaun Woods (49 each). Both started and played well.
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 12, 2018
Taco averaged about half that many snaps as a rookie last year. #cowboyswire
Jason Garrett confirms suspended DT David Irving is back to work with team’s strength coaches. Not permitted to be part of practice for the last three weeks of his suspension but can be back at the facility. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 12, 2018
Randy Gregory is still in concussion protocol and won’t practice today. Garrett is hopeful he’ll progress as the week goes #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 12, 2018
Jason Garrett confirms that David Irving is back with the Cowboys, working with the strength staff. No meetings or anything like that. Cowboys just hoping to get him acclimated for the end of his suspension in October #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 12, 2018
Join us tonight at Concrete Cowboy at The Star for the “Happy Hour” at 6pm ... should be fun! Different crew this week but it’s still going to be gold (🍺) !!! #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 11, 2018
Taking a new angle with my weekly column this season.
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 11, 2018
With such a different team, here’s 3 things I know, I think, and I have no clue about after one game. #cowboyswire https://t.co/cbN9mgNJS5
The Cowboys waived G Kadeem Edwards and signed G Xavier Su’a-Filo on Tuesday. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 11, 2018
Asked about Dak’s accuracy, Jerry Jones says he’s not concerned, because he’s seen Dak do it before, in games and in practice. Praises Dak’s ball security as a positive from Carolina #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 11, 2018
Jerry Jones mentions Dak’s mobility as a way the Cowboys can spark their offense, noting Norv Turner’s success with Cam Newton on Sunday #cowboyswire.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 11, 2018
Jerry Jones doesn’t yet know if Xavier Woods will be able to go against New York. But “he’s getting closer to playing.” #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 11, 2018
Jerry Jones says that, as far as he’s aware, the only reason Randy Gregory would miss Sunday’s game against New York would be health-related. His availability with the league is fine, as far as Jones is aware. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 11, 2018
Garrett, asked if he’s considered getting more involved in play calling: “I have a tremendous amount of faith in Scott.” #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 10, 2018
Garrett says the Cowboys considered punting on 4th and 10 with 2 minutes to play against Carolina, but he said they’d rather “control their own destiny” #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 10, 2018
Jason Garrett says Randy Gregory has made progress on both his knee and the concussion protocol today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 10, 2018
