I'm happy with the win but I'm just thinking what Drew Brees would do to this defense with the play calling tonight. I'm begining to think the Ryan's are really overrated and I use to be huge fans of them. He was psyched out by the RG3 hype last week when he said you can't put pressure on him during the week of the game.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the win but I'm looking down the road and if we want to get to where we want to go, this must be addressed!!!! opinions

because he doesn't trust his front 7 to put pressure on the QB. then you are asking the CBs to stay in man coverage for far too long and that leads to giving up big plays.

they have speedy WRs, so he wanted to force them drive the field to score. specially with Fole, however, the eagles converted time after time.

yeah and instead of switching it up we kept doing it hoping it would some how change. Lucky brown is a fumbling machine or we might of been having pitch forks and etc in dallas for garrett and rob ryans head.

I'm more concerned with how that RB was all over us.

Front 7 can't get much pressure if only rushing 3. Foles had all day for much of the game. And Cowboys need to cut either Agnew or Frampton, and re-sign Mana Silva.

Cowboys did so much better when they rotated McCray and Silva at Safety. Silva is much better in coverage and McCray thrives in run situations. And Silva is no slouch against the run either. Neither Frampton or Agnew are familiar enough with Rob's D, they both looked ugly out there. Especially against the run.

Beefing up the trenches & the pass rush would not hurt either. Why not take a chance on a proven pass rusher like Babin, instead of a nobody like Poppinga?

Excellent point.


We cant play man to man defense because if a corner gets beat its a TD, we have absolutely no safety help at all.


You can play this stye of defense against a trash team like Philly and win, but Drew Brees is going to carve this soft coverage crap up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

I ain't seen no soft coverage when Carr gave up that TD pass.
