"The spotlight for Ezeiruaku last week came late in the game with a clinic-level punch-out. On a scramble drill, Ezeiruaku got Rico Dowdle from behind and ripped the ball free at the Dallas 41-yard line after a botched play from Carolina. The play had hustle and execution. It didn't rewrite the scoreboard, but it rewired the sideline, giving a jittery defense the jolt it needed while Carolina's ground game kept grinding."
"Currently out with a high ankle sprain. (Game stats- Snaps: 37, Total Tackles: 1, Pressures: 3, Sacks: 0, TFL: 1, FF: 1) He's still chasing that first sack, but Ezeiruaku isn't just flashing anymore, he's settling in. The rookie's ledger now reads 12 tackles, one forced fumble, two tackles for loss and a string of steady pressures. Sunday's tape was the loudest hint yet that the dam's about to break."
The Dallas defense regressed sharply in a heavy loss to Carolina, undoing confidence gained from the previous week. Rookie Samson Ezeiruaku produced consistent pressure, totaling 12 tackles, one forced fumble, two tackles for loss and a string of pressures while earning a PFF grade of 92.1, the highest on the team for Week 6. Ezeiruaku’s hustle created a notable punch-out that energized the sideline despite the loss. Rookie running back Blue played five snaps, returned two kicks for 40 yards with a long of 25, and had three rushing attempts for zero yards, reinforcing his role as a support back.
