Mike Jenkins begins the trash talk

PrintCowboys' CB Mike Jenkins was asked covering pro bowler DeSean Jackson and stopping his big plays...
"We're just playing the deep balls," Jenkins told the Cowboys' Web site. "The main thing is they try to catch you off-guard. It's yet to happen to us, and we're not planning on it to happen. I guess he runs past a lot of guys, and it's not going to happen this week. It's not going to happen to us, period."
Tough talk from Mr. Jenkins. Interesting that the guy seems so defensive... My favorite part is when he says he "guesses" that Jackson runs past a lot of guys. Let's hope the Eagles players ignore this nonsense and treat the game with some class.
Oh and Mike Jenkins(#21) you are one of those guys he's "run past." It has happened to you. I'm sure you remember, it was a pretty funny moment after all... Vid is after the jump. Never mind that part, Jenkins apparently just changed his number to 21 this year.
Jackson can break the all time NFL record for 50+ TDs in a year this weekend.

God I hate Jenkins..
He’s such a big mouth. I REALLY hope Jackson burns him a few times to shut him up.
Surprise
I would be pretty surprised if the cowboys are able to shut down Jackson again. I just can’t see that happening. He will get them in some fashion on Sunday receiving or returning.

All Offensive Weapons...
…are firing on all cylinders. If they shut down Jackson, they’ll pay somewhere else. Oops, did they loose track of Westy, Weaver, Celek, McCoy, Maclin or Avant while they were so intent on Jackson? Forget about Vick? Oops, bummer Cowboys, six is six no matter who gets it, but I’d still love to see DJax get another 50+.
but didn't you love how the commentators on Sunday finally noticed how good DMac is
when he is under pressure? There’s always the screen to Jackson that he can turn into a 50+ if you give him an inch.
For clarity sake ...
… it was Adam Jones (21) and Roy Williams (38)…
Good luck this weekend.

Just out of curiosity...
Are you the same RaulV that spent a good chunk of time on the old Eagles Email Distribution list back in the 1990’s (back before forums and blogs were the way to go)?
If you are, it’s great seeing a familiar face from over 10 years ago!

We'll see what he has to say after the game
I figure not much. DeSean is by no means one-dimensional. He’ll end up getting his numbers somehow.
Oh, and I fully expect him to break the record on Sunday against… Mike Jenkins.

Its a valid point
Ignoring everything else, that was a first down on that fourth down. And even if it wasn’t the spot still was bad, and we should’ve won a challenging, saving a TO.
Reid- Best Coach in Eagles History
McNabb- Best QB in Eagles History
This is the year
my only issue with it is that at the very least it deserved a respot and measurement. It was clear the original spot was wrong and while I’m not positive it was a first down that owed it to the fans and players to respot the ball.

and we don’t talk before the game
What does that even mean? You don’t talk about football during football season? You don’t discuss your chances on winning? Are you even a fan if you don’t talk about the game before the game?
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
Yeah
The Cowboys spent a 1st, 3rd, and 6th round pick for Roy Williams
D-Jax came to us with a second round pick
I wonder who’s been a bargain
Let them focus on Jackson
I couldn’t care less if this Jenkins idiot is right or not with regards to Jackson burning them. If they want to scheme to give Desean extra attention, go to Maclin/Avant/Celek/Westbrook/McCoy/Weaver instead. They’re not stopping everyone.
as much as I want Jackson to break the record… I just want to win to shut these lame cowboy fans up.

seriously what kind of an idiot do you have to be to open your mouth before you play Phillys offense. I understand what happened the first time… but you’re just setting yourself up to eat a whole lot of crow
Desean Jackson... "If He's even, He's leavin"
I hope Mr. Weaver introduces himself to Mr. Jenkins
Then he could — oh wait, Jenkins would probably run away from him before trying to wrap up a back.
We’ve seen that show before.
Making something out of nothing
Where’s the jab at Jackson? He didn’t say anything derogatory about Jackson. He’s talking about the confidence they have on not allowing Jackson to get behind them, BIG DEAL!!

Now, this is fun. We bust on them, they bust on us. This is what rivalries are all about. I’m hoping someone steps on the star this weekend. Of course, within 5 years, he’ll probably join the dark force.
Jenkins has done better against better QBs
than McNabb. The main issue is your boy Donnie Mac doesn’t get the chance to throw those deep balls because by then he has Jay Ratliff in his face and DeMarcus trying to take his head off.

let me guess.
You’re not a bandwagon fan…just your dad or grandpa liked the cowboys because they were really good with Staubach or Aikman and co. and the bandwagon aka. not within a 3 state radius of texas fandom was passed down to you..making you of course a 2nd or 3rd generation of BANDWAGONEER…
It’s no different than every dumbshit Yankee fan claiming their a real fan because Daddy liked to see a team win all the time…give me a break.

Do you know what your last name rhymes with, Phillip (I’ll give you a hint: you’re acting like one)?
99% of the world did NOT become a fan in the manner you describe. Most people root for the local team.
Besides...
All the people who became fans of their team because whoever got them into cheering for a particular team was from or was from the area where the team resides…you know, where REAL fans come from.
I just explained how most all cowboy and yankee fans not residing anyone close to TX or NY became a fan of their team which was my exact fucking point…Thanks for confirming that not only are you obviously a typical bandwagon cowboy fan, but that all but 1% of you are bandwagoneers as well…i was giving your fans the benefit of the doubt…but wow, 99% bandwagon, that’s impressive even by my estimation.

Forgive me if I don’t believe you. I’m pretty sure all the Eagles fans in Philadelphia constitute more than 1% of the fan base.
no all the Eagles fans in Philly
would constitute 99.9% of your fan base, because the Eagles have never done anything to constitute people from other places to want to become a fan, and that was my point.

It’s the internet.. there are countless other sites, within a click or 2, that we can all go to for boobie fun. But it’s funny that BTB doesn’t have enough football related material to cover an entire post that you have to drag in some pom pom fluff. It’s still one of the funniest things I’ve read on BTB, and that’s difficult since I find the vast majority of posts over there hilarious.
I’m going to assume you read this before you posted it and still decided to post it which is amazing to me.
According to your stats Jenkins and Brown are a push, Asante > Newman and Hanson > Scandrik so I fail to see how they outplayed our Corners.
Oh, and how many teams have you beaten this year that are actually going to make it to the playoffs? None? That can’t be right….
Oh and you beat the Saints … but so did Tampa Bay. C’mon dude you are better than that … its the NFL. You lost twice to the Giants (a non playoff team) we beat them twice what does that prove?

Eagles Corners – targeted 176 times

3) Got fewer interceptions
4) Gave up more touchdowns

This is funny cause all you Eagle fans

Apparently you confuse “confidence” with “cocky trash talk.” Considering the team you root for, that’s not a surprise.
This isn’t confidence.
no it is confidence
you just choose to look at it in a bias way. If Sheldon Brown said the same thing you would call it confidence. Well now you wouldn’t cause ofcourse you will try to prove your point but we have all had corners that say stuff like this and I like it. Plus , I can remember alot of talk like this from Eagles players in the past , so we all have them at times. Maybe you all can use the overrated bulletin board material as if the number 2 seed at stake isn’t enough to get your team motivated.

This is pretty much on par with what Jenkins said – http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2009/10/philadelphia_eagles_cornerback.html – I personally don’t think either instance is “trash-talk”, it’s just confidence.

First it was Sheldon responding to trash talk not just trying to get his name in the papers like Jenkins is, and second he didn’t call out a player a player called out his team.

I espacially like this statement
“but we blitz” like the Eagles are the only team in the league that blitzes. Sounds like a poor corner trying to cover up his failures. Cowboy fans should know, these were the same type of statements Roy Willy (the safety) used to spout.

Ken Hamlin might have won a playoff game or 2 with the Seahawks. Actually, now you’ve opened up a whole can of worms… How many current Cowboys have even won a playoff game?
And let’s face it: Romo is doing this with less talent than Donovan has.

Jenkins
Isn’t going to be a reason of why the Eagles win or lose on Sunday and I can’t imagine that Reid is scheming because of what impact Jenkins might have on the game.
You obviously haven’t paid attention to his play this year. In his second year in the league, Jenkins is quickly becoming one of the better corners in the game. I hope your coach is underestimating our defense as much as the fans are.
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s#!t about the rules?!?
Yes, because Andy Reid has proved that he overlooks the Cowboys
What with his 14-5 career record against them.
LOL
How bout those double moves on Asante??
One of your boys came to the Cowboys blog, before the last game @ the Link, and explained how the Eagles have better players at EVERY position. But guess what?? >>>>>>>>> THE SCOREBOARD explained a whole other story!!

One double move
Austin had one catch. Yeah it was a big one, but the double move was made on SHELDON BROWN. So get your facts straight.
44-6 I actually like that scoreboard a lot. I mean a 38 point victory. It’s almost like watching a college team (or a high school team) try to play against an NFL team
And furthermore, I’ll always felt that double moves are as much on the D Line as they are on the secondary. It’s the D Line’s job to get to the QB before the offense has the time necessary to execute a double move.
And let’s face it: Romo is doing this with less talent than Donovan has.
- DatNguyenNguyenScenario
I wasn't talking about the Austin play ...
Samuel is know for his agressive style and also getting beat on double moves. Oh damn I almost forgot, you guys have the best players at every position. …
Only thing that counts is Sunday .. so you keep talking about LAST YEAR and “NEXT YEAR”.

What corner doesn't get beat occasionally
Jenkins and Newman get beat too and they don’t come up with nearly the amount of picks that Samuel does
Its a different approach ..
but Dallas blitzes less and relies on pressure from 4 players, with good coverage behind that. (usually with safety help up top)
Eagles play aggressive up front and at the corners. This has worked well for the Birds since Johnson came to Philly, and helps create turnovers.
Dallas’ style is less agressive, but that does not take away from Jenkins play. Jenkins would start in Philly because he is better than Samuel. Brown is one of the league’s best CBs, and Jenkins is getting there.

Samuel has 8 career TD's...
Fun little factoid – A list of Cowboys that don’t have that many…
- Felix Jones
- Martellus Bennett
- Tony Romo
- Tashard Choice
- Sam Hurd
Point is… He makes a ton of HUGE game changing plays. 9 picks this year – 42 for his career so far… and he’s only 28. Jenkins has done nothing. Let’s not go there.
I just wish the Giants hadn't buried themselves
I would endlessly prefer seeing the Giants in the playoffs.
And I feel the Giants are a better team. I just like seeing the ass-runners suffer. A lot.
Of course you would ..

Wow
Miles Austin ran a route with a double move and scored a touchdown. That’s amazing. I feel so privelaged to have been in the same stadium when that historical moment took place. I mean, the way we’re talking about double moves they almost never happen, right?
Speaking of the scoreboard, gues what buddy? The one on Sunday matters. Just like last year, the first game was close but pretty much meaningless. I welcome you to come back to this thread after Sunday when the Cowboys lose and apologize for acting like an asshat.
Please
When Jackson has had big plays deep, it is generally because the safeties on the opposing teams stink in coverage. Jackson ran around the field all day against the Giants’ pathetic safeties and the ‘Boys don’t have a single safeties who is a playmaker in coverage deep either. Hamlin can hit but he isn’t the fastest guy either.
I would love to see
The ‘Boys leave Jenkins 1-on-1 with Jackson all day. Almost ensure that Jackson will have at least one big play if they do. Jenkins may be a good CB but there are a bunch of players (Ware, Ratliff, Spencer) that the Eagles’ line has to deal with and the Eagles are going to have a really tough time running the ball in this game especially between the T without Jackson against a very stout RB defense in the middle (Ratliff, Brodie, Brookings).
Agreed
I’m 50x more worried about our center situation and keeping Ware off of Mcnabb than i am some loud mouth CB who nobody even knows
Desean Jackson... "If He's even, He's leavin"
Why?
Nick Cole has given up fewer sacks than anyone else playing on the Eagles O-Line. 1.5 sacks in 21 starts. That’s impressive.
He is also a guard
and typically guards give up fewer sacks due to not going up against pass rushing DE’s and OLB’s

Cowboys
Actually have been pretty effective in their 3 games at limiting the damage that Jackson does:
Last year
@ Dal 6 catches, 110 yds, 0 TDs
Phi 2 catches, 46 yds, 0 TDs
This year
Phi 2 catches, 29 yds, 0 TDs
Still, if the Cowboys stop Jackson from going deep it is really going to be up to their safeties (Hamlin, Ball, Sensabaugh) to keep Jackson from getting deep and they have had missed results all year with doing that against opposing WRs especially on deep slants over the middle.
I have a feeling you're gonna see a TON of Celek and Avant on underneath routes
Desean Jackson... "If He's even, He's leavin"
Don't forget about Maclin
He’s playing really good ball right now. Just hope he can stay healthy. Regardless, we have too many weapons for Dallas to focus solely on Jackson in coverage.
Too bad you didn’t have any of those guys last time. You probably would have handed it to us good.
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s#!t about the rules?!?
Yeah
Just like you didn’t have Roy Williams and Miles Austin last year when you could only muster 6 points in a playoff game.
Oh wait…
Last year?
Why do you guys keep bringing up last year? I hope you scout last year’s team, too.
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s#!t about the rules?!?
Explain, please. You are aware that we played earlier this year, right?
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s#!t about the rules?!?
Sigh
You point out that we had Maclin last game when you beat us. I point out you had both of your starting WRs when you lost the most important game of the 2008 season. See what I did there?
Week 9 of this year is meaningless if you don’t show up for the second year in a row.
It should be a great game — again, if you show up. :)
Austin wasn’t a starter then.

Um ...
Jackson tossed a TD in his first game because he was hot dogging. Its not like you guys actually kept him out of the endzone.
In the second game the Cowboys gave up something like 24 or 31 points off turnovers in a span of 8 minutes, so McNabb and Jackson really didn’t spend much of the second half trying to hook up.
This is like crowing that Westbrook didn’t score a TD in that end of season game in 2007.
Jackson stopped himself...
with the stupidest play of the year. He had one touchdown and gave it away.
Yeah, what an idiot! I’m sorry he’s on our team what with his hot dogging AMIRITEEAGLESFANS?

Too bad they can’t count that win again this year, then you wouldn’t even have to show up and play. We shouldn’t even play you guys, since you ‘own’ us at the end of the year. I’m not sure why we bother. Hell, I’ll drop the ’Boys a line and tell them not to even show up Sunday since you already have this one in the bag.

you see, fellow Eagles fans
that their championships count more than ours since they’re called “Super Bowl” championships. that makes them more magical.
you see, the star gives Cowboy fans all sorts of privileges, not the least of which is the authority to decide where the line will be drawn between “meaningful” and “meaningless.”

Truly
People who think it matters that a team won a championship before most of us were alive, be it the ’60’s, mid ’70’s, whatever…it doesn’t.
Really, the most I can say is it defines a set of player’s respective careers. Once they retire, however, stop with the crackerjack bullshit about ‘championships’ over a decade and a half ago. It makes one look pathetic.
Actually it does
How many teams were in the league when Philly won their championships? About 12? 14?
And speaking of pathetic, the bandwagon jokes are pathetic.
Fine, we can do away with the talk of Super Bowl rings. How about we compare all-time record vs. each other. The Cowboys, a team that started in 1960 WITH NOTHING after the Eagles had already been established for 27 years, lead the series 56-44. Of course, since this is in the Cowboys’ favor, I guess we will have to stick to the Eagles win at the end of last season as your only bragging point.
I'm an alumni of Michigan State
Do you think I give a shit about the football championships in the ’60’s? How about Magic’s championship in ’79?
I don’t care about it. At all. Because I’m a sensible, logical person.
Of course, Cowboys fans are morons, so it’s all par for the course.

Let me explain
And I’m being completely serious here. No bad blood, no sarcasm, just telling it like it is. The reason we get so riled up is that your evidence for claiming this Sunday is in the bag is a 44-6 win last year. But the thing is, that was the same thing you were saying before the first matchup this year. Then the Cowboys won.
You are pointing to evidence from last season, when we had 5 different starters on defense. We point to the game earlier this year because our rosters are pretty much the same. I know you guys have had some injuries, and so have we. And yes, we got a new kicker.
If you absolutely must predict the outcome of this weekend’s game using a past game, it seems logical to us to use the latest game, where most of the personnel is the same, not a game that happened a year ago with a ton of different guys.
Fact is, none of it means anything until Sunday night.

First off
The 44-6 “rally cry” is just that — it is not a Vegas style prediction of the games outcome.
It is also shoved into the face of your trash talkers who cite “omg we beat you this year!” — because the same thing happened last year. You won a close game early in the season, but when all the chips were down, you folded.
I’ve already said this should be a great game if Dallas shows up to play this time.
Agreed
And that was my point. Neither of the games mean crap.
The way I have it figured, whoever comes to play is going to win.
I know I’ll be jumping up and down screaming at my TV.
Hopefully in a good way.

To be honest
I’d rather have a close game (with a win of course) — close games are fun, albiet a bit nerve racking.
If both teams show up to play it will definitely be a battle.
WHAT?
44-6 was extremely fun… much more so than any of those close games. By end of half I was able to relax, and all the Dallas fanboys in the party had given up hope and relaxed by then too..
No denying it
It was awesome — but it was one of those rare blowouts were the action was pretty constant thanks to the boys turning the ball over on every meaningful drive.
Most of the time, with a score like that, the game was exiciting to watch for a half and then got kind of dull.
Regardless, I’ll take an Eagles win whether it’s 100-3 or 50-42.
Yup
I’d like to see a close game, but I wouldn’t mind a high-scoring close game. Two offenses that can really light it up.
I’d like to see a final of like 55-51

As a 23-year resident of Philly, now transplanted to Texas, let me spread a little truth to the rumors and allegations that have been thrown around on this board.
1. Not all Texans molest livestock. Just Cowboy fans, university of texas Alumni, and residents of Carthage, Texas. All other Texans do NOT find Velcro gloves under the Xmas tree at age 13, just those three groups.
2. The whole Super Bowl thing, you have to understand, the Cowboy fans grasp desperately to that lone shining moment. After all, what else do they have? The Texas Rangers? They define futility. The Mavericks? Haven’t ever won a basketball championship. The Stars? Hockey in Dallas? 99% of the people here think "Icing" refers to the sugary sweet topping of a cake. The Cowboys are currently a running joke in the NFL (see #3 below), so they cling oooh soooo desperately to those Super Bowl wins. They remind me of Uncle Rico in "Napolean Dynamite"
3. The Cowboys are the running punch line to the NFL. Their owner rapes and pillages the Cowboy fans on a weekly basis: $90 for a pizza, $72 for a 6-pack of beer, $60 for parking 8/10ths of a mile from the stadium. The owner makes all of the draft choices, including 12 this year, and then refuses to admit that he’s wrong on these picks. They sign such great moral characters as Adam "Pacman" Jones, Terrell Owens and Tank Johnson. They are more concerned with who Romo is dating than the fact that their owner signed the offensive coordinator BEFORE he hired a coach.
4. The Cowgirls are desperate for this group to win because after this year, Bill Parcel’s picks will start dwindling away and they are left with Jerry Jones picks (ok, for now we’ll nominally call them Wade Phillips picks). So they lash out verbally in an attempt to deny the obvious reality: It’s only down hill from here.
Again, as a lifelong Eagles fan amidst the rabble of Cowboys fans, my advice when dealing with these bandwagon fans is to just nod your head, speak slowly and loudly, and let them implode on their own like they always will under Jerry "Nip and Tuck" Jones.

ByeDawk!
Where are you on this one? The guy is an Eagle’s fan in Texas, you have to tell how he isn’t a true fan and doesn’t deserve to root for his team!!!!!
THIS IS AWFUL!
Wow, stupid and insulting
I can be that way too. I could post something clever like “The only reason the Eagles haven’t signed any questionable moral characters is because Coach Reid has them all in his family.” But that would bring me down to your level.
You are certainly most welcome to drag your sorry azz back to Philly if it’s too tough for you down here in Texas.
Oh yeah?
You could give us your observations of Philly fans, since you were raised in Dallas and moved to Philly? No, I didn’t think so. Although I tried to use humor to get my point across, the meat of the observations are correct. Dallas area fans, with the exceptions of the Cowboys and their respective colleges, are extreme front-runner fans. As long as the team is winning, they are fans. See 2009 Texas Rangers and 2003-2008 Mavericks for more detail. Because there are very very few true fans, they do cling to the Cowboys and their Super Bowl wins desperately,
And Mr. Jones is a running joke in the league. Maybe you don’t realize how idiotic he comes across to the rest of the country, with his running the drafts, hiring the offensive coordinators, saying he’ll keep TO then releasing him, maintaining “keepers” for his star players (Pacman), and after all of that he charges you exorbitant rates for pizza and beer.
You may find it stupid and insulting, but truth hurts. I would never dream of leaving Texas, there’s no finer state in the union to raise a family, buy real estate, own guns, practice my Christian beliefs, get a good primary and secondary education, drill for oil and gas, earn a salary and watch HS football. But for all those pros, you have to deal with douchebag Cowboy fans. Its a price I’m more than willing to pay.
"Sometimes, children, fear is an appropriate response"
Yeah!
While not all Cowboy fans agree with me, I like Jones as owner. If you are going to torch him for his bad moves, you have to give him credit for his good moves. I don’t always agree with his actions, but the man isn’t afraid to adapt, even if he doesn’t want anyone to know it.
I have a personal theory about the malcontents Jerry has signed. I call it the “Curse of Charles Haley”. He had such success with Haley he keeps trying to recapture that magic.
I get a laugh at peeps on the boards with their front-runner/bandwagon fan comments, then turn around and point out how long it’s been since the Cowboys have won a playoff game. Your insults are confIicting. Our games sell out even during down years, and I didn’t see any shortage of fans last year after we got beat badly the last game. You didn’t take a poll. You didn’t count anything, you are just repeating the same vitriol that has been posted on msg boards for the last 15 years before you were even old enough for your Mommy to let you touch a PC. Comparing Rangers or Mavericks fans to Cowboys fans is a waste of time. Texas is a football state, always has been, always will be. It’s comparing apples and oranges especially considering the fact neither has won a championship. I’m trying to think of one fairweather fan that I know and can’t come up with one. They are either fans or they are just not interested at all. Just like I imagine it to be everywhere else.
Also, for one to feel insulted doesn’t validate that the insult was the “truth”. Go read a dictionary. Do you think I seriously consider your comment about molested livestock the truth? I guess that’s the twisted humor we have come to expect from Eagles fans, the ones that put bounties on kickers, cheer players getting injured, boo Santa, throw snowballs with batteries in them etc.
I’m looking forward to game 3, and the final stake in the heart for the Eagles this year.
Ok enough blah blah blah
We Dallas fans are living on Superbowls and the win this year.
Eagle fans are living on the past failures of the Cowboys in the playoffs and the win last year.
None of that matters for this game. None…..notta……I don’t care how all of you try to spin things like politicians. It means nothing. These two teams play Sunday in the Future as of now, not in the past!!!!!
"When people talk about Super Bowl dynasties they mention the 1970's Steelers, 1980's 49ers, 1990's Cowboys and the current New England Patriots, but nobody has dominated the Super Bowl like Anheuser-Busch. In recent years, Budweiser has been the MVP of Super Bowl advertising -- making another company the favorite to win the Ad Meter poll was never an option."

News Flash!!! Cowboys to Beat Philly
Cowboys will send America’s Worst Fans (philly fans) home disappointed again. It’s too bad that a team with quite a bit of heart has the most uneducated and crudest fans in all American sports. It does make it all the more sweet when America’s Team gives the city a reality check on a regular basis. I guess the green represents envy toward all of the Super Bowl Rings that will not be? Go Cowboys!

There's that apostrophe again
I love it. Love it. And to call Eagles fans uneducated? Pure bliss!
I also love how he had to clarify who the worst fans were. Because, well, he knows the truth.
NEWS FLASH TROLL
America’s Worst Fans (philly fans)
If you are talking about worst fans… Philly ranks 7th below:
6. Dallas Cowboys Fans
There is no doubt that America’s Team has some of the most bandwagon fans in pro sports. When the Cowboys excel and are at the top of their game, people all over the country, most notably in California and Arizona, decide to sport T.O. and Romo jerseys.
Then, the minute the fans find out that their Cowboys aren’t the Super Bowl champions, every piece of fan apparel with a star on it goes in the trash. Those people who you see wearing the giant star on their jackets will most likely be sporting Colts/Steelers jerseys the minute their Cowboys begin to lose.

or how about this link to the most annoying fans… the Dallas Cowboys

most uneducated and crudest fans
Unfortunately Philly ranks 11th in “America’s Smartest Cities”, whereas Dallas ranks in at 48th.
