Speaking of sacks, the Cowboys need to put on some tape of James Harrison, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis. These guys have truly mastered the art of the strip-sack. They are not just trying to pad their stats; they are trying to change the momentum of the football game. Last week, immediately after Matt Schaub threw a pick-six to the Colts, he was stripped on the next drive by Mathis and the Colts went on to increase their lead. The Texans were up by 17 points at one point, but a series of turnovers completely changed the game. The Cowboys often seem satisfied with just getting the sack, and that is not how championships are won. If you can get to the quarterback, you can get to the ball. Even if you’re just inches away from the quarterback, the ball is often in reach…knock the damn thing out!
