- Report: Dallas defense dominates Rams offense in scrimmage
The new-look Dallas Cowboys defense apparently did a number on the Los Angeles Rams offense during a scrimmage recently.
Patrik Walker and Tommy Yarrish, both covering the Cowboys, broke down the joint practice and their observations from it.

The biggest star on the defense was Justin Barron , who intercepted both Stetson Bennett and Matthew Stafford a combined three times in the scrimmage.
Of Barron, Walker said: "One of the biggest questions entering training camp involved the LB corps, but that's getting sorted very quickly, including its depth pieces. Against the Rams, Barron grabbed not one, or two, but three interceptions — two against Stetson Bennett and one against Matthew Stafford — helping to send the message that Parker's (defensive coordinator Christian Parker) defense will be as advertised. Look for Barron to try and stack onto this performance when he takes the field against the Seahawks on Saturday."
The offense looked impressive too, according to Yarrish.
"In the earlier periods of practice, the Cowboys offense was looking to work more of the run game and at times seemed to struggle getting push and getting throws downfield when they would move the ball. During the later periods when the Cowboys and Rams worked in the redzone however, Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns, two of which went to CeeDee Lamb and Kavonte Turpin and Brevyn Spann-Ford catching the other two. With the second team, Sam Howell had a touchdown to UDFA TE Michael Trigg. The red zone is an area the Cowboys offense struggled in last season, but Tuesday's joint practice was a positive sign."

So it looks like so far, so good for the Cowboys, and Jerry Jones might be getting exactly what he wants out of his team thus far, and without all the controversy.
