There is plenty we can learn from the first two games of the Cowboys season.
Aldon Smith Is Back, Playing Like He Never Left...Aldon Smith hasn’t performed like a player who missed four seasons. In fact, the Cowboys used him on 74.0 percent of their defensive snaps in his first game back since November 2015. He saw a slight increase last week (81.3 percent).
Smith has registered 16 tackles, two quarterback hits and a sack as arguably the Cowboys’ best defender. Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan lined him up on the end, on the interior and even at inside linebacker, where he showed some strong-arm power against the Rams.
