NFL PLAYBOOK Examines NFC EAST

[Hollywood Henderson]

Year in and year out EVERY team in the NFCE has a MUCH better DC then we have...

Its all on the offense this year (again) unless Parcells takes over and goes 3-4...

zimmy WUSS is clueless!

We really need to get Howard cause he is much better than any of the DE in the draft this year.

I hope we draft one and he proves me wrong but I don't see it.

It doesn't matter who we have at CB and FS, if we don't rush the opposite QB we will be bad.

Last year we needed a CB badly and we didn't get any, this year we need a DE and we still didn't get any.

We improved the team but we are still far from good.

Some people don't realize that our pass rush has already improved with the signing of Ferguson. He will take pressure of Ellis and Glover.

I don't know how many people got to see him play last year with the Jets but he was a big factor in their pass rush and he will be in ours too, not by his own sacks but what he will free up for the others!

I've stayed out of the Zimmer arguments ... mainly because he's had several top 5 D's. But then again, so did Campo and that didn't take us too far.

I think last year exposed the flaws in Zimmer's system. BP seems prepared to give Zim the benefit of the doubt. But I doubt Zimmer is a Super Bowl quality DC.

Regardless of who we bring in as DE, he's gonna fail in Zimmers engage and react D.

I agree, main thing with Ferguson is his ability to collapse the pocket. By having a strong push up the middle it forces the QB to step to the outside towards where the DE will be coming

Ferguson is a run defender, he's not going to improve the pass rush. In all likelyhood he won't even be on the field in passing situations.

If you did not watch him last year with the Jets please don't respond. Its obvious that you didn't if that is your opinion of him.

Ferguson plays NT and when he plays DT he lines up over the nose. He plays the run technique. Run stopping is his forte. In obvious passing situations he's not even on the field.

You're just dreaming if you think he's going to make the Cowboys suddenly have a pass rush.

Ferguson did not come out on passing downs. I know you hate the Cowboys but please stop making up BS that evidently you have no clue about.

why does someone that hates the cowboys spend their time on here anyways?

ferguson is gonna occupy OLs that would otherwise double laroi - thus allowing GLOVER to create the pressure up the middle that will flush out QBs toward DE pursuit.

think "dominoe effect" NHLfranchiseman.

Besides, at this very moment our right end is a better pass rusher than last year. Loosing Wiley (or should I say getting rid of him) already improved our pass rush, because Eric Ogbogu is a better pass rusher, and so is Kalen Thornton. But if we don't get someone else it will be our run defense that suffers, because these two aren't good against the run and are too small, which will cause them to wear down.

Bottom line is the Cowboys can pencil in more sacks as a team than they had last year, barring injury.

BTW another pass rush addition will be Roy Williams, moving to SS he will be rushing the passer a lot more.

Yea Furgeson and Roy Williams are some great pass rushers....

Good grief.

Ferguson does not get a lot of sacks, most DT do not get a lot of sack but a good DT can collapse the pocket and contributes in getting sacks.

Man get a life and get a freakin team!!
No idiot in their right mind (that knows anything about football) could not know that a player like Furg leads to more pressure on the QB. Glover had 16 sacks one season in NO because he had a nose tackle type DT next to him. Since he's been here he's had to play the run stuffing DT posistion himself!! He doesn't get double teamed every play for nothing!!!!!!!!!!! Who will you double team next year? Answer that question!!!

[OILERMAN]

Ferguson will require double teams, on running downs.

On passing downs the only player on the Cowboys roster that could require a double team is Glover, and even he has seen his better days.

The best chance Dallas has is if they draft somenoe like Merriman or Tuck
