Dallas Cowboys – Performances of Note
DeMarco Murray, RB: +3.6
Breakdown: Murray has always had the ability to perform at a high level, the only question has been his health concerns. Murray forced eight missed tackles and ended the game against the Titans with an 80.9 Elusive Rating. For a running back to finish with a +3.6 despite a fumble and a dropped pass is rare.
Signature Stat: Murray finished with 88 yards after contact and averaged 3.03 yards after contact per attempt.
Tyronne Crawford: +4.7
Breakdown: The often-maligned Cowboys defense performed at a good level vs. the Titans. Crawford provided the Cowboys with a pass rush they missed all of last year. With five pressures on 22 pass rushing snaps he was more than the Titans offensive line could cope with.
Signature Play: 3Q 13:24 - Crawford was able to get into Michael Oher’s body and push him back creating enough space inside to get through and make a hit on Locker as he threw the ball.
Henry Melton, DE: +2.8
Breakdown: In Week 1 Melton seemed to still be rounding into his old – penetrating 4-3 defensive tackle – self. In Week 2 this was all evident. Melton even managed to record a battered pass, which led to the interception by Rolando McClain. Melton may not be ready to take on the full work load in the early part of the season, but with performances like this, he will be there sooner rather than later.
Signature Stat: Melton had four pressures on 23 pass-rushing snaps, giving him a 14.1 Pass Rushing Productivity mark for the day.
