More from Bob Sturm on the Cowboys' win over Houston:
On other heroes of the game: Dez Bryant (4 catches, 50 yards) jumps off the page. You always wonder if a rookie is up for the NFL game. But I think we've seen he doesn't play like a rookie in many regards. He desperately wants the ball. And when he gets it, he desperately wants to go to the end zone. He is not timid. He doesn't fear contact. It was interesting they were using him to pick on (Houston rookie) Kareem Jackson as if Dez was an old veteran. In this bye week, they are going to spend time figuring out how to make him a bigger weapon. And I would expect that three-receiver look with Miles, Dez and Roy to be the predominant look for the remainder of the season.
On the bye week: I would like to see them further develop the two tight ends. I feel like we're seeing more out of Martellus Bennett then we've ever seen in his career. There was one play where they ran Jason Witten shallow and Martellus behind him and threw to Martellus. That shows they want to take his training wheels off.
Offensively, figure out what to do with Felix. Defensively, I think it's important we find this year's Bobby Carpenter to get Keith Brooking off the field in coverage situations more. They can't ask him to play in coverage on third downs. He's not capable anymore.
