12. Dolphins Fan here, I come in peace

The one Cowboys player I'm kind of happy for this morning is Noah Igbinoghene, who returned the blocked field goal attempt for the Cowboys first touchdown of the season.

Noah was much maligned in Miami, and from a CB standpoint quite frankly couldn't cover a Chicken Fried Steak. Unfortunately for him, he was drafted far too high (30th overall pick) in the 2020 draft, which raised Dolphin fan's expectations of what he would be able to contribute. Coming out of college, he was considered a "project player", as he had switched from WR to CB his senior year at Auburn. If a Cowboys fan asked me directly about Noah, I would say he may become a good to great special teams player, but temper your expectation of him as a CB, as he demonstrated almost no ball awareness skills in Miami.

From all reports, Noah was a really good teammate, unfortunately he couldn't put it together for the Dolphins. Perhaps he can make an impact for the Cowboys. Sometimes, a change in scenery can do a person good.

That said, we're coming to put the L on the Cowboys on Christmas Eve.
