Time to put the machine back in motion as the Cowboys return to practice f

or their upcoming playoff game with the Rams. But first Youth Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , let’s hear from head coach Jason Garrett. (All Garrett answers are paraphrased and not actual quotes). What is the challenge Todd Gurley presents?He’s a great player - quick, fast, explosive, he has instincts, vision, speed, power, can cut back, can catch the ball. In some ways, I just described Zeke.Antwaun Woods really impressed the Cowboys early onOne of the more underrated players on the Cowboys this season has unquestionably been defensive tackle Antwaun Woods. Jason Garrett discussed how they found Woods and saw him work all throughout training camp and that he’s someone who really impressed them.He noted Woods works hard everyday and showed up, play after play in training camp Color Rush Maliek Collins Jersey , then preseason. Garrett went back to the word meritocracy and noted his skill-set fits the scheme. Sean McVay has Jason Garrett’s respectObviously Sean McVay is regarded quite highly in NFL circles (did you know he can recite every player on every team?!) and Jason Garrett didn’t fall out of line there. He praised McVay and discussed how the Cowboys coached against him when he was in Washington. He said McVay uses all his weapons and has a balanced attack.Jason Garrett also respects Wade PhillipsRams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was the last person to hold the Cowboys head coaching gig until it became Jason Garrett’s. There’s obviously a unique relationship there and Garrett noted that his time with Wade was very valuable and that he has the utmost respect for him. He said he would stay quiet and observe Phillips in specific football situations but also how he interacted with players and other people in the organization. Noted he learned a lot.Last year’s game against the Rams was a hard fought battleEarly in the 2017 season the Cowboys hosted Los Angeles and it was a game that went down to the wire to a degree. Asked what they learned from it Jason Garrett simply said that it was a great game but that things are very different. He doesn’t get into comparing teams.Jared Goff is a really good football playerThe Rams have a lot of weapons on offense and one of them is their signal-caller, Jared Goff. There were many Cowboys supporters who wanted the team to find a way to land Goff back leading up to the 2016 Draft. Jason Garrett discussed how they really liked him when he was coming out of school but that things obviously shook out the way that they did. He noted that Goff in college was particularly adept at passing under duress and that is a very important trait for an NFL quarterback. They really loved his workout and thought he would be a great player.Los Angeles is “a really good team”Asked what the challenges in their passing game beyond Goff are, Garrett basically described every thing they’re able to do on offense. He noted they are a very balanced team and run the ball extremely well which helps set up their passing game including play-action. The Cowboys are expecting Todd Gurley to play wellOne of the biggest challenges on Saturday night will be stopping Rams running back Todd Gurley. Jason Garrett noted that he expects to see the best version of Todd Gurley that there is and wasn’t concerned about possible rust.Cowboys are feeling good about special teamsJason Garrett specifically said that confidence was high regarding special teams. He really only just paid compliments to Chris Jones, Brett Maher, and L.P. Ladouceur but they’re obviously feeling fine.Dak Prescott is a natural leaderThe first action in a Cowboys uniform for Dak came in the NFL’s return to Los Angeles during the preseason two years ago. Asked if that day gave him any indication as to who Dak is Garrett simply discussed that he (Dak) is someone who handles all situations very well.Injury updateXavier Su’a-Filo won’t practice on Tuesday, Cole Beasley probably won’t, Blake Jarwin probably won’t, Tavon Austin will in a limited fashion, Zack Martin and Tyron Smith are doing well and expected to practice Anyone who missed the Game of the Season — Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 43, Pat Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 40 — can take solace in knowing there very well could be a rematch a little more than three months away.And no one, except for players on other AFC teams Allen Hurns Jersey , would be disappointed if Jan. 20 brings the world Patriots vs. Chiefs II, with a conference title and Super Bowl berth at stake."I'm sure," Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower said about Mahomes, "we'll probably see him down the road."Brady's take on the KC QB who gave coach Bill Belichick's defense all it could handle?"Big play after big play."That's an apt description of the whole contest Sunday night."It was a spectacle, that's for sure," Patriots receiver Josh Gordon said.Just the sort of thing the NFL wants nowadays.Supremacy of offense.All attention on the passers and their targets.Plenty of points and ever-increasing fantasy numbers.Brady was 24 for 35 for 340 yards, one TD pass, one TD run, and a 39-yard completion to tight end Rob Gronkowski, whose 500th catch in the league set up Stephen Gostkowski's go-ahead field goal on the final play. That came after Mahomes — 23 for 36 for 352 yards, four touchdown passes Authentic Deonte Thompson Jersey , a pair of picks — found Tyreek Hill for a tying 75-yard score.The Chiefs (5-1) came back after trailing 24-9 at halftime.The Patriots (4-2 and winners of three in a row) kept responding to every score Mahomes generated down the stretch.The teams combined for 30 points in the fourth quarter alone.It was back-and-forth. It was electrifying. It was memorable.It was the 200th career regular-season victory for the 41-year-old Brady, a record for a starting quarterback.It was the first career loss as an NFL starter for the 23-year-old Mahomes, who suddenly has become a bona fide star."He's young," said Hightower, who had an early interception, "but he definitely doesn't show it."In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL season's sixth Sunday:BACK TO THE BOOTH?Jon Gruden's return to the sideline from the TV booth continues to be an unmitigated disaster — on the field and off. His Oakland Raiders dropped to 1-5 by putting up little resistance in a 27-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. No one in the 32-team NFL has a worse record than the Raiders, whose only victory came against the Cleveland Browns. And no one has a worse point differential than Oakland, which has been outscored by 66 points after merely six games. There's more, too. Gruden has been blasted for trading away elite linebacker Khalil Mack and had to answer questions after Sunday's setback about a report that receiver Amari Cooper is available now.SAD SACKNever a good thing when a QB's completion count is exceeded by the number of times he's sacked, but that's exactly what happened to Marcus Mariota in the Tennessee Titans' 21-0 loss to Terrell Suggs and the Baltimore Ravens. Suggs had one of Baltimore's 11 sacks Youth Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , one shy of the NFL record. Mariota went 10 for 15 for 117 yards. "I can do a better job of stepping up in the pocket," Mariota said. "I put our guys in a bad spot, trying to run around too much."'WE WANT DALLAS!'That was the familiar chant heard at Washington's home stadium as its 23-17 victory over Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers wound down. The Redskins (3-2) host the NFC East rival Cowboys (3-3) next week, and the matchup becomes a lot more intriguing thanks to what happened Sunday. Coaches Jay Gruden and Jason Garrett both were heavily criticized recently. Washington's defense and Dallas' offense were coming off problematic performances. And those units were both what generated victories, including Dak Prescott's two-TD-pass, 82-yard-rushing showing as the Cowboys beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 40-7.CATCH AS CATCH CANNo NFL team wanted Adam Thielen coming out of college. And no NFL player ever started a season quite the way the Vikings' undrafted receiver has this one. With 11 catches for 123 yards and a score in Minnesota's 27-17 win against the Arizona Cardinals, Thielen raised his total to 58 catches, a league record through a half-dozen games. He's also the first player in 57 years with at least 100 receiving yards in each of his club's first six games.AP Pro Football Writer Teresa M.
