"Tyler Booker's night in Detroit was the game of a rookie guard doing his job while the waves kept coming. On the road in a loud building, he logged every snap and held his own. He was charged with zero sacks or penalties and just two pressures allowed across 82 reps, even as Dallas as a team took five sacks and managed to log just 91 rushing yards."
"For Booker, the season arc is encouraging. Booker's PFF profile has him tracking as a run-game hammer. He's at 71.5 overall which is 25th among guards this season, but his 78.0 run-block ranks 11th. At the unit level, Dallas remains solid by blocking standards. They're at 65% as a team Pass Block Win Rate (13th) and 71% Run Block Win Rate (16th), so hovering middle of the rankings."
"The immediate problem is Minnesota, and their numbers are louder than their headlines. The Vikings are third in team Pass Rush Win Rate (44%) and 11th in Run Stop Win Rate (31%), and they're one of the league's best no blitz pressure defenses. Personnel-wise, the waves come from everywhere. Dallas Turner and Eric Wilson are both at 5.5 sacks this season, while Jalen Redmond and Andrew Van Ginkel are both over five sacks each."
"Ezeiruaku arrives in Vikings week with a rookie résumé that finally looks loud in the right places. The counting line is trending up with two sacks, one forced fumble, nine tackles for loss and 34 total tackles. He's also at 30 quarterback pressures, third-most on the team, and leads the Cowboys defense on PFF in defensive grade at 79.5, that's a solid start for the young Boston College defensive standout."
Tyler Booker played every snap in Detroit, allowing zero sacks or penalties and only two pressures on 82 reps while Dallas rushed for 91 yards and took five team sacks. Booker grades 71.5 overall and 78.0 in run blocking, ranking him among the better run-game guards. Dallas as a unit posts a 65% Pass Block Win Rate (13th) and 71% Run Block Win Rate (16th). Minnesota presents a challenge with a 44% Pass Rush Win Rate and deep, interchangeable pass rushers. Rookie Ezeiruaku has two sacks, a forced fumble, nine tackles for loss, 30 pressures and a 79.5 PFF defensive grade.
