The Cowboys are riding high at 2-0 following a dominant 30-10 win over the Jets. While plenty of things went well for them in this game, an underrated aspect is how Dallas saw a lot of good flashes from their rookies in this game. Let’s take a look.
iDL Mazi Smith
As was the case a week ago, rookie Mazi Smith didn’t see a whole lot of reps due to the Jets being forced to throw the ball quite often after getting down early in the game. Last week, Smith played one fewer snap than fellow run stuffer Johnathan Hankins, and against the Jets he actually saw one more snap than Hankins; either way, Smith only played on 23% of defensive snaps.
