#98QBKiller Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Breeland looked absolutely beastly tonight. If tonight is any indication of how good he really is, then we've struck gold in the 4th round and we'll be seeing his jersey in the stadium soon.

Mr. S Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Man he had a great game! Could he and Amerson lock down the position for us moving forward? It would be great to see happen. Such a steal in the draft; I was worried about who would block Dez Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Breeland and Amerson locking down cb. Draft Landon Collins in 1st and suddenly you've got something long term brewing at an area of extreme weakness. Also, merriweather balled out tnite too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Lots of praise being thrown around in here, and he certainly made some great plays. I'm pretty sure he blew the coverage when Witten had his wide open TD. Certainly not a perfect game from him, but very strong. Best since Champ? I sure hope so. I think Breeland is a case of a guy who likes playing physical and using his hands. All the way back to TC, there was talk about how he was gonna get a bunch of penalties for grabbing, etc. And he's had some of those. But once he figures out what he can get away with, and gets more comfortable starting every week, I think he can be a very nice fit for the good guys.

JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Alvin ... He did blow the coverage but it was a rookie mistake. And the speed on the recovery to nail Witten and almost make him Fumble out of the endzone made me say "wow" despite the blown coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskin Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The rook devoured Dez Bryant. And Amerson was no slouch either. Somehow, I feel a lot better about our secondary. ANd Haslett, wow. He called a great game (and everyone should know that I hate Haslett). I gave us no chance tonight. None. Thought we'd be blown out by 20+ points. Colt didn't make me forget Griffin, but he did what he had to do and that's all I ask. He was ice cold on that last drive. Now, if they want to give Griffin extra time till the bye, I'm fine with that. Orakpo who? Murphy had a pretty good game for his first start, didn't he? Kerrigan was a beast. And Merriweather was headhunting without all the illegal hitting. Awesome team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hard to say who blew the coverage. To me it looked like man all the way, with Keenan blowing the coverage on Witten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Agreed. And for all of the **** that he gets on this board (and occasionally deserved), Merriweather played balls out as well! Eh. I'm not giving him "balls out". He's always good at blitzing, that's the only real strong area of his game (and not much of a strength for a S). But the fumble was him completely whiffing on the tackle and his hand catching the ball as he went flying out of the play. And he looked bad in coverage a couple of times. I'll give him credit for a decent game, but no more. One guy who does get too much crap here and deserves some credit tonight is Perry Riley. Solid game overall and two huge plays on the last series.

Warhead36 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Breeland's play also allows us to get rid of Hall in the off season, saving valuable cap space. That's how you build a contender. You have to nail a lot of mid round picks because they can contribute at a high level for next to nothing in salary costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Dude played out of his mind. Imagine if he had got that pick towards the end of the 4th. That would've won the game for us essentially. Not a knock though, a small slip up in an otherwise spotless night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Riggo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Man he had a great game! Could he and Amerson lock down the position for us moving forward? It would be great to see happen. Such a steal in the draft; I was worried about who would block Dez Bryant. The play of both of these guys answered my biggest worry about this team going against Dallass's weapons. I worry about our O-line, but I generally don't worry about our offense's ability (on paper) to score points. They just need to get it in gear, and they did tonight. But the secondary with Deangelo gone was my biggest worry. I'm no longer worried. THIS is a game that can turn a season around. And as much as I have disliked Haslett, his game plan was brilliant tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlldaySkins Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Breeland just became a star overnight literally. Almost flawless game against arguably the best receiver in the league right now. I love that he just plays the game and doesn't showboat. Amerson & Breeland will be our starting CBs next year. So pumped right now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSurrender Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Great thread! I really thought Breeland did a great job as well I think that Amerson did good too. I was looking at Breelands draft profile and Mike Mayock said Breeland should have been a late second rounder. We got him with the second pick in the 4th round. WOW...

End2round2sanders Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 My father asked me "Why are are we blitzing so much?" I told him, " Because our CB's are getting it done and Haslett has faith in them, that's why we can send the house, the senate, the downtown area and the rest of Congress in these blitz packages.!!" Breeland and Amerson were amazing today.. Our defense was insane today. Best MNF game since the home game vs NY in 2012 and @Dallas in 2005.

Conn Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm going to start pretending we took Breeland in the 2nd and Murphy in the 4th. Who's with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Look, I will probably continue on with my crusade about this for a short while, but it's only because it's a positive thing anyway. Not many corners when they came out of college had to cover 2 NFL WRs in practice, every day, for the most part of their college career. While I thought maybe his 4.6 might have been slow, he admitted he could have trained more for that. He had to cover Sammy watkins and Martavis bryant every day in college, so I never thought for a second he would be completely lost in the NFL, like many corners can be. He's got great ball skills, and isn't afraid like many young corners can be. He brings attitude also. I really hope this guy pans out. He's a potential jersey guy if he continues on like this. Deandre Hopkins too. That's three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Chris Russell @Russellmania980 · First and only thing Jim Haslett said to me on way out while on his phone was about his corners & how bleeping awesome they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Riggo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 But the fumble was him completely whiffing on the tackle and his hand catching the ball as he went flying out of the play. That's kind of picking nits for a guy that forced a fumble on Dallass's 5 yard line. Besides, we swarmed Romo on that play and there were plenty of guys there to make the tackle. 9 times out of 10, ESPECIALLY on the 5 yard line, I'll take the forced fumble (if only Kerrigan could have come up with the ball, but Kerrigan was a beast tonight so I won't pick nits with him either)!

TD Riggo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Best MNF game since the home game vs NY in 2012 and @Dallas in 2005. I loved Jay's celebration at the end on the sideline after the game ended on the incompletion. It reminded me of Joe Gibbs II victory in Dallass on MNF when Scott Brunell hit Santana twice. Beautiful moment then and tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 THIS is a game that can turn a season around. And as much as I have disliked Haslett, his game plan was brilliant tonight. We must give credit where it is due, and I agree on both counts. Breeland and Amerson were fantastic tonight. The gameplan worked very well. Still too many penalties and turnovers, but we beat a 7-1 team in their house on Monday Night Football in a game NOBODY expected us to win. These are the kind of wins that turn seasons around, but we must take it one game at a time. Beat Minnesota and go into the bye week at 4-5.

Campbell's_da_man Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think Breeland replaces DHall and Amerson as the #1 corner by next year. DHall gas gotten much much tougher over the last couple years going all out on tackles, so I could see him moving to FS or a FS/CB hybrid spot like the Woodsons. If Hall is not able to make the switch to safety, he'd do well in the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
