Jets (8-5) at Cowboys (4-9)
Bowles is not banking on Pryor’s scouting report being accurate. This is an alarming stat line, especially since he has had weapons like Dez Bryant and Jason Witten at his dispense.
Like most struggling teams in the National Football League, the problems usually begin and end with who you have under center. He never slows down, he just find different ways to beat people. “We’re going to have a great Tuesday and get ready for this game on Saturday night, and we expect our guys to respond the right way”.
The New York Jets are 3-0 straight up and against the spread over their last three games. Revis did not seem all that excited about his matchup with Bryant when he spoke to reporters Thursday.
Maybe the Cowboys are actually afraid that Moore might regain that spark he had with the Broncos in Idaho that made him just about unstoppable in the college ranks for a few seasons. “More than likely, your game will dictate how they play, if there’s any playing time there for Kellen one way or the other”.
Second-year safety Calvin Pryor said Wednesday he thinks Bryant has “not looked the same” since suffering a broken foot in the Cowboy’s season opener. Pryor went on to say that does not mean he won’t have a good game this week. “But he just has not had enough of it to cope with what we need him to be doing right now”.
Bryant’s production has nose-dived since he returned from foot surgery on November 1. He has also battled knee and ankle injuries this season. Bryant finished 2014 a career-best fifth among all wide receivers in terms of Reception Net Expected Points (NEP). Zach Martin, Tyron Smith and Travis Frederick are all in the conversation for best player at their respective position, and newcomer La’el Collins has shown flashes with some incredible highlight reel blocks.
Dallas’s offense has been non-existent through most of the season, and over the team’s last five games the Cowboys are averaging just 14 points per game.
Last week’s 30-8 thrashing of the Tennessee Titans was Gang Green’s most complete victory of the Todd Bowles era.
Jets CB Darrelle Revis. “I wanted to win a championship”, he said. You know, we ran the ball and threw the ball well. He’s done some good things for our team over the time that he’s started for us this year.
So, there you have it. The Cowboys are actually tanking the rest of this season, as they should, but have simply found a clever way of not saying it. Brandon Weeden initially replaced an injured Tony Romo before giving way to Matt Cassel, a veteran who has no experience in the offense and no chemistry with the receivers.
“It’s tough when you lose your starting quarterback”, Pace said. He’s an interesting guy because he doesn’t wow you with physical ability but his track record as a player, certainly in college, speaks for itself. Dallas has confidence in Kellen Moore, and believe he is the guy capable of changing things for the better for them.
