Daily News | Cowboys’ clutch play on third-and-30 leaves Darius Slay hopping mad
Midway through the fourth quarter of the Eagles’ 40-34 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the veteran cornerback knew the significance of the 52-yard catch the secondary had surrendered a few minutes earlier.
“Dudes just got to do their jobs, really, man,” Slay said. “Good throw by Dak, good catch by him, but if everybody just does their job, that play would have been stopped easily. That [stuff] there was mind-blowing.” Cox said his conversation with Slay was centered on not letting the blunder permeate the rest of the game — or the rest of what is still a promising season for the 13-2 Eagles.
Scott, who was filling in at slot after Avonte Maddox left with a toe injury, was operating from a difficult alignment about 10 yards deep at the snap. Still, he was late getting over the top and failed to make a play on the ball.“I don’t want to point fingers or stuff like that, but yeah,” Slay said. “It was an over Cover 2 call. [Shoot], we just have to get depth. We just have to do our jobs. ... That’s how that play works. If we do our job, that’s play is nutted.
“It was like right when the ball was snapped,” Scott said of the communication. “It was ‘Oh shoot, the ball is snapped.’ So I tried to execute my assignment during that.”
