Cowboys Rookies — Grading week 1 performances

Veterans Osa Odighizuwa (four tackles, two sacks) and Johnathan Hankins (2 tackles) did the majority of the interior work on the defensive line.

Odighizuwa had 39 snaps on defense – and two more on special teams – while Hankins had 18 on defense and one on special teams.

Neville Gallimore was credited with 34 snaps to round out the night's work among the defensive tackles. Second rounder Luke Schoonmaker (tight end) saw 16 snaps on offense and 17 on special teams.

Fourth rounder Viliami Fehoko (EDGE) did not see action on Sunday night. Fifth rounder Asim Richards (offensive tackle) had nine snaps on offense.

Fifth rounder Eric Scott Jr. (defensive back) also did not see action on Sunday night.

Sixth rounder Deuce Vaughn (running back) had six carries for just eight yards. He was not targeted with a pass out of the backfield.

Seventh rounder Jalen Brooks (wide receiver) also did not see action in the game.

The Undrafted

The two undrafted free agents saw action in Sunday's blowout victory.

Hunter Luepke (running back) saw four snaps at fullback and 12 more on special teams.

He made a couple of solid blocks – including one on one of Pollard's touchdown runs — but did not touch the football.

Offensive guard T.J. Bass had nine snaps on offense and seven more on special teams.

Rookie Of The Week

Brandon Aubrey made the biggest impact for the Cowboys among the 10 rookies on the active roster.

Aubrey gave the sideline and the fanbase PTSD by pushing his first point after try wide left.

Aubrey rebounded well, hitting his next four point after attempts and both field goal attempts.

A combination of weather and early jitters made Aubrey look a little hesitant on his kicks. But he nailed every one after the early misfire.

The issues with the weather might be a concern long-term if they continue. Aubrey was solid in the USFL but that was in the spring with better weather.

His kicking for Dallas up until Sunday had been in camp at fair weather Oxnard, Seattle and indoors at AT&T Stadium.

Sunday's game was the first bad weather he's seen the last two years. It won't be the last.

Two of the last four games will be played in December and January in Buffalo and in Washington D.C. Two locations not known for pleasant weather in the winter season.
