NFL teams bring in rugby players, sprinters, etc. But I think I'd like to see one team bring in a Sumo wrestler to try DT.
Fujinokawa is one of the smallest rikishi in Sumo but yet he's undefeated through five days. Outweighed by over 100 lbs here, but he simply overwhelms his opponent with leverage to express his considerable power.
Only 121 kgs (~266 lbs)!

108 years ago, the US military carried out the largest mass execution in American history. In December 1917, the military hanged 13 soldiers. Another 6 were hanged less than a year later.
Yes...they were all Black soldiers.
It's best known as the Houston Riot of 1917

The biggest thing I'm looking for from DAL this week is how Eberflus constructs the front with Quinnen Williams added to the group. How many odd fronts will we see? Will those be bear fronts? Under fronts?
The answers to those questions will tell us a lot about the direction this defense is headed.

Here, you can see the slight difference between QW's stance this year (1st picture; more weight on feet, but down, head up) and his stance when he played with Whitecotton (2nd image; more forward in stance with more weight on hands, but higher, head not up as far).

Wife won't be home until super late tonight so I'm going to try to make Japanese long fries for the first time. Pray for me.

So much bad on this play. Not only does Mazi get reached too easily from the 2i (can't happen), but he fails to the slow the LG's climb to the 2nd level, enabling the LG to get to Murray.
DAL loses the cutback defender because Shemar James gets bulldozed by the RG.

That jump cut was disgusting
This is all Javonte Williams. Just a beautiful jump cut to avoid the tackler and create a big gain

made the best fried chicken of my life last night, inspired by videos I've seen about Cocodaq in NYC. It was incredible.
Pro tip: Invest in some Evercrisp to make sure you have the best leftover fried chicken of all time as well

Would love for DAL but I have my doubts that LVR would be interested.
Still, anything less than the 2 first-rounders would be a win for DAL (think something like a 1 and a 3 or 4 would be ideal).

The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly called the Las Vegas Raiders about Maxx Crosby, according to Trey Wingo.

Welcome back Booker.
To finish off the look at the run offense, let's watch Tyler Booker body slam a poor WAS defender.
Epitimozes DAL's domination on Sunday.

As a scorned #Bears fan from last season, I am actually shocked Eberflus adapted to what his defense needed to do to beat the Commanders yesterday.
Gotta give Eberflus credit for changing his stripes yesterday.
