An excerpt of Whitt’s 10 thoughts on the Cowboys win over Raiders.
10. BEST FEET FORWARD - In the first half we were reminded that the best part of these Cowboys are special teams - specifically kicker Brandon Aubrey and punter Bryan Anger. Aubrey drilled a 54-yard field goal to cap Dallas’ first drive; Anger bombed a 54-yard punt on the second.
5. DEUCE, RESURRECTED - On the roster bubble and fighting a hamstring injury, running back Deuce Vaughn flashed the quickness that made him the darling of last year’s preseason. He made a nifty change-of-direction that froze would-be tackle Jack Jones on a 12-yard run and later skirted around the end for a 7-yard gain.
