What will it take for Dallas to have the most dominating Defense in the League?

I think we need 40+ sacks to even be considered.

I think we need 20+ interceptions and 15+ fumble recoveries.

I think we need to hold opponents under 15 points per game.

Those things could make us a dominant defense.

You want us to get Alberta? Sorry bro but I'm definately against adding anymore lazy players to our roster.

One thing I have not seen mentioned that would greatly help the defense is a good running game. Keeping the defense off the field and well rested would greatly aid the defensive stats.

Glover surely has enough size for a 3-4 end and both Wiley and Ellis have decent size for the position as well. If they don't we can always use Kenyon Coleman. In the LBs the only one that may be undersized out of the ones I named was Nguyen. I was hoping that Fowler could have stayed with the team because he could have helped but Nguyen does have the speed to play the run even in the 3-4 and should be fine. Also with the way we use our safties I don't think that we'd be running a huge risk in the running game.

So your solution to making our defense better is sitting 2 of the BEST players in our front, Ellis and Nguyen, RIGHT.

I think that is a big key there.

When you play from behind or with a small lead the D is a little more conservative. I think that was one of our problems last year. When you look at other teams that had more turnovers it would be nice know if they got alot of them when they were ahead and the other team was forcing to try and come back. It would not suprise me if that was the case.

I think you are correct, and I also agree that if the offense continue to sputter then the last thing you want the defense to do is take lots of risk.

One person. Ty Law.

Easy--an offense that can put pressure on the other teams defense.
