Our guest writer and ex-Cowboys player Tony Casillas is back with his thoughts on road trips.After a much needed win over the Detroit Lions Authentic Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , the Dallas Cowboys go on the road to face the 1-3 Houston Texans. In the Jimmy Johnson era losing wasn’t tolerated, especially on the road. I remember when we lost to the Washington Redskins coach Johnson was so mad that when our plane landing was delayed because of inclement weather, he told the pilot to “land the plane right now!” That is a true story.The fact of the matter is that road trips are good, especially if you’re trying to create momentum and surpass a .500 record. I always thought as a player that good teams can win anywhere. There’s this feeling of cohesiveness when a team goes on the road. It’s a business trip with no distractions from family being in town, or people asking for tickets, or any number of things people don’t see behind the curtain. And last but not least, there is always the competition of who’s going to make a fashion statement as “the best dressed man.” Those are some the benefits of being on the road. Don’t get me wrong, playing at home is an advantage. Even so Youth Deonte Thompson Jersey , with the Cowboys fan base throughout the country, especially in Houston, it may not be your typical hostile environment, and a great place for the Cowboys to win and get to a 3-2 record. Road Trip! Road Trip!Jason Garrett: Randy Gregory, Xavier Woods will attempt to practice today It’s Wednesday so the Cowboys are heading back to practice in preparation for a road trip to Seattle. Coach Garrett addressed the media. (All Garrett’s answers are paraphrased and not actual quotes).The Seahawks have “a really good” defenseJason Garrett gave a lot of credit to every phase of the Seahawks defense. Noting some change in personnel but they play the same way and they have playmakers at all three levels.Brice Butler is getting integrated back into the teamWhen asked about the new/old Cowboys receiver, Jason Garrett noted that he’s a good player. He said “when he became available” that they thought Brice would be a nice addition. He should practice today.Managing seven wide receivers will be interestingGarrett noted that having “a lot” of guys is better than “not having enough” but obviously this is a lot of wide receivers to have on one team. The head coach expanded saying that typically you have guys who are safety nets, typically backup linemen don’t play in games, but that other guys need to have some kind of a role.It’s extremely unlikely that the Cowboys have all of their receivers active on gameday Womens Zack Martin Jersey , and they will compete in practice to see who gets a role on game day. Hopefully Randy Gregory and Xavier Woods will be able to practice on Wednesday, Datone Jones as wellJason Garrett did say “in a limited fashion” but this bodes well. They will see how they are early in practice and decide from there. Jason Garrett said the Cowboys “needed” Byron Jones to play safetyWhen asked about Byron Jones playing at cornerback he said that the Cowboys envision leaving him there for a little while. He noted on Byron’s versatility coming out in 2015, but he did specifically say that they “needed” him to play safety. He noted Jones is athletic, explosive and long and that he’s doing well. Bobby Wagner will be a tall order this SundayAsked about Travis Frederick’s ability to get to the second level and how paramount that is against a linebacker like Bobby Wagner, Jason Garrett hit on that importance. He noted that Frederick does really well on “reach” blocks against nose tackles and getting to the second-level. He thought that Joe Looney is getting more comfortable and better at that as he’s playing. Seattle ranks up there as far as the loudest ones Jason Garrett has seenGarrett did note that domes are typically loud, but Seattle is Seattle for a reason.Deonte Thompson’s speed “is one of his defining traits”Deonte Thompson is fast, but Jason Garrett noted that they didn’t see him as just a speed guy. He expanded on how he’s savvy, a good route runner Womens Cole Beasley Jersey , quarterback-friendly, and made it a point to mention that he can go deep. He also is a willing blocker. Obviously the Cowboys don’t see Deonte as a one-trick wonder as far as abilities.Playing Cam Newton recently is certainly helpful for Russell WilsonNobody is saying that Cam and Russell are the same quarterback, but Jason Garrett said they pose similar challenges. It definitely helps to have just recently played one when getting ready for the other.Jaylon Smith is gaining confidenceJason Garrett said the Cowboys didn’t necessarily want to limit Jaylon Smith in 2017, but he talked about how Jaylon was more comfortable doing some things versus others. More experience, more confidence, sustained performance, and more snaps all have Jaylon trending upward. Sean Lee is anticipated to do “something” todayJason Garrett noted that Sean Lee’s injury was described to him as “hamstring tightness.”
