CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Dallas Cowboys faced third-and-7 from the Carolina 23-yard line with 1:39 remaining in Sunday's opener at Bank of America Stadium. First-year defensive coordinator Eric Washington had the Panthers in "green," giving his front the freedom to organize the pass rush.
So Pro Bowl tackle Kawann Short turned to right end Mario Addison and said, "I'm going to hit it no matter what."
"I know what that means," Addison recalled after the 16-8 victory.
