He's faced Watt and handled it ok. I don't want to get into a "who's better" argument, because they're both elite pass rushers.
Losing Diggs hurts a lot. I get that they beat up the Patriots, but this is the worst version of the Patriots in 20 years and their offense is terrible. It will be interesting to see how the Cowboys defense holds up for its first real test since losing Diggs.
I ran across this..
Different era, and players have changed so much, but I wonder how good Paul Hornung really was? Lombardi said he was the best player he ever coached. That says a lot!
How would Hornung compare to McCaffrey, I wonder? How fast was Hornung? All rhetorical because we probably don't know.
"At the 1957 College All Star game in August in Chicago, Hornung had a famous match race with Abe Woodson. Woodson said, "We had Jim Brown, Jim Parker, John Brodie, Jon Arnett, Len Dawson, Paul Hornung, and Tommy McDonald, with Curly Lambeau and Otto Graham as our coaches, and we still lost 22–7 to the New York Giants. Oh, well." Just for fun, Woodson, one of the fastest players ever to put on pads, and Hornung agreed to a 100-yard (91 m) match race. Hornung won by five yards."

Packers, Notre Dame great Hornung dies at 84
Paul Hornung, the "Golden Boy" who starred for Notre Dame in the 1950s and the Packers in the 1960s, has died at age 84, the Louisville Sports Commission announced Friday.
They're inconsistent. Deny it all you want but Dallas is good.
I’m not saying they aren’t decent. But they have been finding creative ways to crap in their bed for years.
Even if they don’t, the niners are a well oiled machine and you should know more than anyone that you don’t f*ck with Brock in October.
TB12 covered up a lot of their flaws.
Too bad Hornung and McCaffrey didn't have a footrace before Hornung died in 2020. Then we would have known for sure who was faster.How would Hornung compare to McCaffrey, I wonder?

It is an interesting question, IMO. How good was Paul Hornung?
I thought I was doing pretty good just spelling his name right.
Their blackout bubbles are just way too large. I'm six hours from Chicago. I'm not gonna back up and make the drive because I'm blacked out from watching the Cubs. I'm just gonna watch less baseball. The blackouts should really be limited to a smaller market directly around the stadiums.
It's 2023. There shouldn't be any blackout bubbles. Follow the model of other sports and shrink stadium capacities, but offer a unique experience to differentiate itself from watching on a big screen at home.
Target Field has done, IMO, a great job of this by offering a huge variety of watering holes and making the stadium super walkable. My favorite way to watch a Twins game in person is by never visiting my seat, but bar hopping my way around the ballpark. It's a wonderfully entertaining way to watch the game.
Dak will pull a Dakism when it matters most. Count on it.
I must be in the wrong thread...looking for 49's/Brock Purdy news.
"What's more, a whopping 48.2% of Purdy's pass attempts have gained a first down or touchdown, the highest percentage in the league. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is second at 47.8%, but every other quarterback is at 38.5% or below."

Forget regression, it seems like 49ers' Brock Purdy is actually getting better
Purdy's elbow injury and low draft status had people thinking he was a fluke, but the 49ers' quarterback has upped the ante from his splashy debut.
Can't hurt to have CMC hurdling people for 20 yd TDs."What's more, a whopping 48.2% of Purdy's pass attempts have gained a first down or touchdown, the highest percentage in the league. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is second at 47.8%, but every other quarterback is at 38.5% or below."
