In his third Cowboys season, safety Jayron Kearse is a tone setter. That was a positive until Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Now, the Cowboys look to...
On the second play from scrimmage, quarterback Josh Dobbs gained 44 yards on a read-option keeper. Safety Donovan Wilson ran past Kearse in pursuit. Assuming Wilson would make the tackle, Kearse transitioned his sprint into a jog.made a hustle play from the nickel alignment on the opposite side of the field to tackle Dobbs. Upon contact, Dobbs loosened his ball security, holding the football high and away from his body.“If I’m hustling, I punch that ball out,” Kearse said.
“You get to the ball with reckless abandon, and you have a chance to make the play. You have 11 guys on the field that hunt, you can minimize some of those mistakes, some of those missed [run] fits.”Just as Bland saved a touchdown with his hustle, safety Malik Hooker did so in the fourth quarter when the Cowboys experienced a communication breakdown and rare busted coverage. Hooker ran from the far hash to tackle Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson, limiting him to a 69-yard gain.
In both cases, Arizona ended up scoring a touchdown later in the drive. So from a game result standpoint, the Bland and Hooker tackles were not consequential. But those players, along with a dominant effort from defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, were reminders of the standard that should be shared throughout the defense. Sunday allows an opportunity to reestablish that standard.
“I’m excited to play,” Kearse said. “I don’t care who would have lined up. Having a game go like that personally for me and then as a team, giving one away that we shouldn’t have given away — we were the better team — it’s definitely one you’re ready to get back on the field and just show who you really are.“We put bad on tape. When people say bad things, they’re saying it for a reason because it was all good things prior to that Arizona game.
