Holding them to under 100 yards rushing, holding Witten to virtually nothing along with Dez bryant to virtually nothing i think says a lot about our D. The real test i think will come this week against the Texans. That dude ran the ball like freaking OJ last week. And they stick to the run, not like Dallas that feels they need to throw it 40 times a game. Albert better be playing a lot more this week if we are going to stuff the run. Also, scrap the whole 1 down lineman so much. We need 3 run stopping fools in there this week. Albert, Daniels on ends and Kemo at NT.

I'm with you... I don't think AH is NT material. I think he simply doesn't get it or he's purposefully not caring so the team will either move him or trade him. and... at this point I would move him since we paid him already. Put him in at DE with Daniels like you said and have Kemo at NT. That would be one heck of a DL to run through.
I also think our team is somewhere in the middle of being awsome and just good. Dallas was supposed to be #1 offense and #2 defense. I think we moved the ball pretty well but had trouble in the redzone. Houston is not that good in the secondary which is why the Colts were able to score. The Skins significantly slowed or shut down Dallas all game, not to mention their penalties in order to stop our rush. Dallas is the unknown, are they as good as everyone said and we beat them or did they take several steps backwards and are not as good as everyone thought? I like to think it's a combination of the two and hoping it's more the Skins are better then people thought.
I'm hoping we squeek a win out this weekend. This was one of my games I had as a loss but maybe between the defense and K.Shanahan's knowledge of what Houston will do and our offense stepping up we can squeek one out.
