Ojulari back for MNF per Paul Schwartz

Hopefully Thibs too!

Hope he's 100%. They could really use a dose of pass rushing.

both he and Thibs were practicing, so would be nice to have them both back

Thibs as he's had a bit more 'hype' as a 1st rounder. I worry though that AO wasn't as dominating as we remember and had some, I hate the expression but for lack of a better wor, garbage time sacks. I worry that Thibs, as a rookie to the NFL is going to need sometime to figure it out before he becomes a force. So my expectations that they come back for Dallas and dominate need to be tempered. But I'm still excited to see both, especially in Winks D!

You will see him on mostly passing downs and the J. Ward on the downs they think they will run. Look for Dallas to try and run the run hard at him when he is in the game.

!

I would love to see Thibs and Ojulari both coming at Cooper from each side......

Can only speak for myself, but with AO it was less about thinking he was dominating last year and more about him showing ability and a ton of potential. This, plus the conditioning and added weight had me thinking he might be in for a great year. The injuries have definitely tempered that, but I'm still excited to see how he does.

If they both bring the pressure, the sacks will be there. AO didn’t have much help last year.

Agreed, he showed a lot of flashes and played smart. Seemed to set a good edge and fall into some of his sacks just by being in the right place. If Ximines can have 1.5 sacks through 2 games I'm pretty optimistic what AO and Thibs can do!

Exceeded expectations....the safeties ate playing at a high level.

Run defense has exceeded expectations.

If standard pass rush can exceed expectations.....and combine it with the rest.

This defense can actually add up to something special

I know from experience that Calf injuries can take 8-weeks to heal and will easily reappear if you try to come back too soon.

but Jints seem to have something in Jihad

Now we actually have some depth at an important position.

Really want to see Thibs line up across the Cows rookie LT

Hope our DC has something special planned against the backup OLG the Cows are putting out there to say nothing of the backup TE likely to play

but Ojulari looked like a beast in the preseason game he played.

Yeah I think Ward will take Leonard Williams' place until he returns

Right here, this is true. Never thought Ximines would look as good as he has (and still nothing great), then perhaps AO and Thibs can impact the game.

Jordan R. believes he will be there, too. See link/video.

As for X-Man...I think the previous coaching staff had no use for him, but this one does.

Thibodeaux before game 6.

I'll take that bet.

Thomas or Neal? I imagine the Cowboys will line him up more often against the rookie Neal, try to expose him more and take advantage of his inexperience?

Obviously this take is not based on any sort of objective evidence.

ER's now that they're at full strength. Will both AO and KT be on the field in passing situations? Should be fun to watch.

To my very untrained eye, the previous staff misused Barkley, Dexter, X-man, Love and probably others.

What's that based on? Thibs said he was ready to play last week.

He's been practicing, why wouldn't he play?

I'm wondering if KT, AO and X-man will all be on the field in passing situations. That would be something.

they waited long enough for the calf to fully heal.

I had a torn calf myself and it's the kind of injury that lingers and lingers and comes back on you if you aren't careful.
