In a span of two weeks, Jerry Jones has gone from to comparing his Jose Peraza Jersey top receiver to a certain Hall of Fame receiver that helped the Cowboys win their last Super Bowl.On Wednesday -- three days after the beat the to and a day before the Cowboys face the Alex Smith-le s in a pivotal NFC East clash, which you can stream on fuboTV ( ) -- Jones compared the impact has More NFL "Well, I think I'm going to go back to Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin. Emmitt had a lot of his runs where he wasn't touched for the first three or four yards," Jones told "Good Morning Football" on NFL Network. "It's because Troy Aikman and Irvin had them backed off, and they knew if they didn't stay back then Aikman, Irvin and Jay Novacek would take them right Trevor Bauer Jersey down the field. Well, Cooper has done that for us. We got to keep them back off. When we do, then Zeke can basically have the kind of days we want him to have as a running back. So it's a balance thing -- it always has been."That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but Joey Votto Jersey the Cowboys offense has performed marginally better since Cooper arrived in Dallas via trade. With Cooper, who has caught 14 pa ses for 169 yards and a touchdown with his new team, the Cowboys are 2-1 and they're scoring 21 points per game. Without Cooper, the Cowboys went 3-4 and scored 20 points per game. What is notable, however, is how much better Ezekiel Elliott has played since Cooper arrived. He's averaging 167 yards from scrimmage per game with Cooper. Without Cooper, Zeke averaged 113 yards from scrimmage per game. Dak Prescott has also improved.

Before Cooper arrived, the team's best receiver was slot man . Cooper might not be a superstar, but he's a WR1, even though he's prone to bouts of inconsistency. That doesn't mean the Cowboys won't eventually come to regret the price they had to pay to acquire Cooper (and a new contract eventually), but for now they can enjoy their quick ascent up the standings, which Cooper has contributed to.At 5-5, they're only a game behind the Redskins in the NFC East. The Redskins just . A win over the Colt McCoy-led Redskins would pull the Cowboys even with the Redskins. It certainly looks like the Cowboys should be considered the new frontrunners in the division. They added a WR1 to their roster a few weeks ago and the Redskins lost their QB1 a few days ago. That alone should Jose Iglesias Jersey shift the balance of power in the NFC East.
