Poll: Who Manned-Up In The Pats Game?

by Dave Halprin on Oct 20, 2011 10:00 PM CDT in Dallas Cowboys General

A quick, late-night poll and discussion thread. Each week we ask who manned-up for the Cowboys in the previous game. This week, I'm skipping the offense because nobody over there was truly worthy. So it's defense and special teams.

The secondary - They have taken heat in the past for some shoddy play and their injuries were keeping them from reaching their potential. But against Tom Brady, they kept the Cowboys in the game until the end and shutdown Wes Welker.

Rob Ryan - The architect of a rejuvenated defense, his unit gave the high-powered Patriots offense fits all game.

Dan Bailey - Can we get some love for a kicker who has become automatic recently? Ever since missing the chip shot earlier this year, the kid has been money.

Sean Lee - Chuck Norris again. 12 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 interception. He's becoming a star before our eyes

Or the secondary considering the “man up” moment would have been that last patriots drive.

That's why I had to vote Bailey, though Sean was a close second.

I just can’t underestimate the value of an automatic kicker. I don’t even put that miss on him as I believe that was a bad hold, though no one has come out and said so on the team.

What you can't vote for them all.

What is great is that you can say a lot of people manned-up. The implication is we are getting to be more and more of a team.

Sean Lee

Is definitely the brightest spot of the team this year. Not diminishing other aspects which have certainly surprised me (to the upside), but Sean Lee has really shown that he will be a huge asset to this team for the next 10 years. Here’s to hoping Brucie will be similar.
