Nnamdi Madubuike has no injury designation for Sunday’s game vs. Cowboys, suggesting he’s good to go.
LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) has been ruled out. WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is questionable.
ILB Teddye Buchanan (knee) also has no game designation and is in line to make season debut.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on @1053thefan that they haven’t ruled out LB DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) and safety Malik Hooker (forearm) for next week against the Texans. It’s unlikely that CB Cobie Durant (hamstring) or safety P.J. Locke (foot) will be ready for Houston. None of them made the trip to Brazil

Brian Schottenheimer was asked about the NFL going to a more run-heavy, under-center approach.
“Well unfortunately, right now, we suck under center … we’re not doing very good right now, but it’s something that we do believe in.”
Added the disguise element and not giving tendencies makes it a necessity.

Does that even matter?

When offenses condense their formations in 12 personnel, it can challenge the spacing of split-field Quarters.
One of the most popular ways to do this is using a 2x2 double-slot alignment.
Proximity blinds Safeties versus common deep crossing routes if they lock onto their primary threat.
This can keep the "cap" low, leaving space behind them.
Against Boise State, Oregon counters this look from their Base 3-4 by cross-keying the Safeties post-snap to layer the intermediate.
My full film clinic on how Oregon played their Safeties against condensed sets is only on MatchQuarters:

3rd down is a lot easier when it's not 3rd and 2!
WAS 3rd down results from last week:
*5 of 6 with 3 yards or less to go
*2 of 4 between 4-6 yards
*1 of 4 greater than 6 yards
@JohnOwning put out the EPA/play on based on the downs last week w/ 2nd down being the bad guy.

If Lawrence and Eze can learn to finish, things could quickly change for this defense.

#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.

I am not sure the Cowboys will have a harder matchup the rest of the season than in Week 3 against the Ravens.
And that’s because Lamar Jackson in September is a cheat code.
Here is my preview for Ravens/Cowboys for The Blue Star Bulletin:

When Lamar Jackson sees Bell in coverage deep
Shavon Revel Jr. (28) and Markquese Bell (14) will get starts this week as injury replacements. HC Brian Schottenheimer commended their preparation this week in advance of Sunday's game in Rio:
"They're both pros. Markquese has been around a long time. He's attacking this the exact right way that you would expect. It's good because the plan for us is easier because we can put those guys in spots. We're featuring what they do really, really well. I thought both guys having played and getting that experience last week was good, but it'll definitely be different and we're not going to play perfect. We're not going to coach perfect, but at the end of the day, we feel really good about the plan and both of those guys' preparation."

You could find a new way to a Dak appreciation post every day.
You know how consistently awesome you have to be to lead the NFL in points per drive when you aren't running the ball well OR getting explosives?
QB has to be right and accurate over and over and over again.

Fantastic look at a promising #Cowboys rookie!! Agree with all his points.
#Cowboys edge Malachi Lawrence leads all rookies in pass rush win rate.
But what does the tape look like 2 weeks into the season? Has the rookie shown real promise as a pass rusher?
