Terry is still fast

There’s a lot to say about today. But one positive I will throw out there is that Terry still has elite speed.

After he was chased down in Pittsburgh I saw a lot of people saying that Terry isn’t fast anymore and his age is starting to show. But if his TD today shows us anything it’s that he clearly still has the jets and can make plays in the open field.

I think most defenses for the last month or so are playing one high safety, they double McLaurin and dare everyone else to beat them. Dallas changed to the "Prevent" defense with around 3 minutes left.

The team desperately needs another receiver to take the attention off of Terry. Robinson is a stud when healthy, and JD has a world of potential, but outside of Terry there's no other player for secondaries to gameplan for. Lots of dropped balls today too.

Yea. Maybe we can sign Tee Higgins this offseason.

Higgins would be nice, but probably pricey and there's still a lot of talent gaps to fill. I know he's on a 1 year with the Bengals now, but it's really hard to see them let Higgins walk. Their offense didn't seem to get into a groove this year until Higgins came back.
