It’s completely genius to run zones all game with no pass rush. So genius it’s stupid.
Why is it that we have to settle for bend but don’t break or Nolan’s defense? Why can’t we have...I don’t know a solid defense that generates turnovers? I hate Nolan’s defense but I sure as hell don’t want Maranellis either.Cowboys fans hated the bend don't break approach of Marinelli (and Zimmer back in the day).
I said before the season that Nolan does not play that philosophy.
Now fans are seeing why bend don't break had it's benefits...
You couldn’t be much worseI used to play quarters in College!!! I was pretty good at it! Salud.....
To me our DB’s are better in man than zoneIt’s completely genius to run zones all game with no pass rush. So genius it’s stupid.

Small sample and crap opponents coming up
Scheme Types
Marinelli: Bend-don't-break.
Nolan: Aggressively bad
Players vs Scheme
On a defense stacked with great players and without any liability type players, an aggressive scheme would be preferred.
On a defense with limited overall talent, bend-don't-break is preferred.
7 games is big enough sample for me.
But I had no misconceptions about Nolan, he was crap before he came to the Cowboys.
Nolan's defense doesn't suck because its aggressive though.Scheme Types

I’m just seeing guys a step slow every play. Just sitting in zone coverages 10 yards apart from their receiver.I would not say the defense is aggressive.
Nolan plays BBDB a lot.
And we are in a 4-2-5 almost every play.
it’s all off man cover with a mix of cover 2/3.
lots of zone too.
im not seeing a lot of blitz packages. Anyone seeing A gap blitzes?
Ok. So shut up until tomorrow
I keep saying it. Around the league every team running a new scheme is sucking.

He probably meant a few plays on every seriesIf you said there is just a few plays that make this defense bad, then you were dead wrong. I see play after play of getting beat all over the field by multiple players.
