“The #Cowboys were banking on the Star on the helmet and that no matter what he’s gonna come back. It wasn’t gonna work out that way had a deal not worked out, I really believe that.”

I think this weekend's Cowboys-Ravens game in Brazil has the potential to be the turning point in the way the NFL goes about their international initiative altogether. Mentally preparing for lot of non on-field related dialogue to persist for the upcoming week.

Here’s an idea: let’s move the game back to AT&T Stadium for a Monday Night Football double header.

🔑 Key to a #Cowboys victory in Week 3:
Dallas’ defense has allowed a league-high 68.4% completion percentage when generating pressure this season, along with 0.26 EPA per dropback, the second-most in the NFL, per NFL Pro.
They have the fourth-lowest pressure-to-sack rate (7.7%). If they want to beat the Baltimore Ravens this weekend, they can’t afford to miss their chances to bring down Lamar Jackson.

Good coverage doesn’t always mean you can stop Dak Prescott.
Sean Lee and Zack Martin join Judah Fortgang to break down Dak’s tight-window throws, footwork, and ability to manipulate a safety before delivering the ball.
Two plays show the details that make defending Dak so difficult—and what fans can sometimes miss watching live.

#Cowboys lose Laken Tomlinson from the practice squad. Being signed by the Green Bay Packers.
They need quality players in a bad way.
Long-time NFL guard Laken Tomlinson is being signed by the #Packers off the #Cowboys practice squad, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
At age 34, with 162 starts under his belt, Tomlinson will help an O-line that needs it.

Nick Pappas, the NFL field director, said the Maracana field passed all of the mandatory requirements on Friday in testing in conjunction with the NFLPA and an independent specialist. The nature of the issues with soccer led to complaints from the bumpiness that are not as much of an issue with football. Pappas said the focus is on athlete performance and the field should be good. If it rains then there is a tarp to cover the field.

#Cowboys playing with more spikes on their cleats was probably the right call.
Sounds like they could be playing on an ice rink come Sunday.
“…We've been in regular communication with the league about the field. Both the NFLPA's and the league's field experts have been on the ground in Brazil for days, monitoring conditions and working to make the surface as safe and playable as possible for Sunday….”

There have been a lot of questions about the field surface in Brazil, and I wanted to provide the NFLPA’s perspective.
Our number one priority is the health and safety of our players. The concern heading into this week was that the field would be loose, patchy, and lead to excessive slipping. Those conditions are generally more of a playability and performance issue than a significant injury concern.
But safety isn't the only standard. Players should be able to perform at the level they expect of themselves and that fans expect from them. A thin, slick field may not present the same risks as a surface with too much traction, but it still affects performance and the quality of the game.
We've been in regular communication with the league about the field. Both the NFLPA's and the league's field experts have been on the ground in Brazil for days, monitoring conditions and working to make the surface as safe and playable as possible for Sunday.
Based on our experts' assessment, the field needed better traction and stability. They recommended reinforced stitching to help the surface hold together and brought in equipment to reinforce as much of the field as possible before the game. Our experts will remain engaged and continue evaluating conditions through kickoff.
The work happening this week also highlights two larger issues.
First, we need field standards that account for both safety and performance. The NFL, NFLPA, and our field and engineering experts spend a lot of time working on these issues, and we've made progress. But we're not where we need to be yet. We can't have surfaces that melt players' cleats, like we saw in Nashville last week. We can't have frozen fields that create unnecessary risks. The best athletes in the world should be playing on surfaces that meet the same standard of excellence we expect from them every week.
Second, this reinforces one of our concerns about international expansion. Two of the three games played in Brazil have had field-related issues. That's not a coincidence. This time of year makes it extremely challenging to maintain the kind of grass surface we expect at the NFL level.
Our guys are exceptional at what they do, and I'm confident they'll put on a terrific game in Rio this week. They always do. But we owe it to them to provide the best possible opportunity to succeed. Players can overcome a lot. But they shouldn't have to overcome the field.
The NFL has been clear they want to continue to grow the game internationally. However, growth alone cannot be the goal. The goal has to be growing the game while maintaining the standards our players deserve. If we can't do both, then we need to make different decisions.

NFL fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for engaging in an offensive demonstration Sunday vs. Miami. “Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste,” the NFL wrote in its fine letter. Juszczyk, nicknamed “Juice”, already has appealed the fine.

#Cowboys Sean Lee breaking down the forced fumble play from Jaishawn Barham against the Washington Commanders.
Lee is a big fan of Barham and what he’s seen so far, especially with the green dot responsibilities as a rookie.
