Grade the Cowboys vs. the Browns: A, B, C, D or F!

[Marksin]

And one thing you don't talk about much. I saw Zeke literally blocking to keep people off of Dak to prevent the pressure. I like that

[ironman]

Knowing the first team offense played sparingly to none in the pre-season, they looked good. Zeke looked better than I expected.

[matthewgeddis]

Offense: B
Defense: A
Special Teams: A+
😊

Why didn't you mention Brandon Aubrey?!??!!?? He's a beast!!! Almost got a 66 yard kick right before the half 🦿

[TheGIJoe]

Zeke looked great. His blocking was amazing

[joshuacannon]

Overshown was mvp he was everywhere
He’s gonna be a

[jessereagh]

Linebacker #13 was awesome so glad he is back strong B performance

[OgTrills]

Finally a honest opinion about zeke everybody else hating

[Marksin]

I love the setup they are doing. Micah creates pressure law gets sack when he runs. I can see other games sacks for Parsons. Depends who the QB is and which way he tends to run when preasured

[billierenfro]

It was even worse than the final score looked. My only worry is Jake Ferguson…..hoping it’s not a serious knee injury.

[dkk]

Mike Zimmer was the MVP.. Biggest acquisition in the offseason..

[JHC]

Zeke did this thing today! Really helped us out! Need more from WR 2 and 3 for sure

[billierenfro]

As much as I thought the entire team looked good…..I was most impressed with the defense, especially Micah, Overshown and Kendriks, but the entire defense was great.

[mattj]

Solid B+. Micah was awesome, but if I’m being picky, he should’ve had 3. Watson got out of two sacks. Zeke did look good.

[jamesvigil]

We still need to clean up all the penalties but very happy with the win today

[caydenswanger]

kendrick’s playing amazing 6 tackles 1 pick 1 sack love to see it

[HopefulShoes-kdnt]

Defense A, offense B, kicker A+, other ST B+. Rookies + Overshown A-

[bakedyoda]

Seeing linebackers fly down the field and stuff the run was quite astonishing to see. Have been waiting for that for YEARS

[Rrbj]

Carson did great for his first start and covering a guy like cooper alot of the game
