This notion that tweener can stop the run has gotten how many winning season with playoff wins? It’s pathetic mediocre fans like you that accept this poo. That’s a “ losers mentality”.
Exactly: stop being scared to be critical if your team. I’ve been a cowboys fan for three decades and love the team, but I’m also critical of them. We have a blind spot when it comes to interior lineman and safeties. It was that way with the o line fir years before Frederick and Martin.

Hence no winning for 25 years!

I’M NOT ACCEPTING INSANITY,THERE HAS TO BE CHANGE.

Week 1 vs Rams: 153 yards 2 TDs ( Loss)
Week 2 vs Falcons: 113 yards 0 TDs ( Win)
Week 3 vs Seahawks: 117 yards 0 TDs ( Loss)
Week 4 vs Browns: 307 yards 3 TDs ( Loss)

Week 5 vs Giants: 89 yards 2 TDs ( Win)
Week 6 vs Arizona 261 yards 3TDs (Loss)
Week 7 vs Washington: 208 yards 1 TDs (Loss)
Week 8 vs Eagles: 119 yards 0 TDs (Loss)
Week 9 vs Steelers: 46 yards 0 TDs (Loss)

Week 10 vs Vikings: 125 yards 1 TDs ( Win)
Week 11 vs Washington: 182 yards 3 TDs (Loss)
Week 12 vs Ravens: 284 yards 2 TDs (Loss)

Week 13 vs Bengals: 101 yards 0 TDs (Win)
Week 14 vs 49ers: 150 yards 1 TD (Win)
Week 15 vs Eagles: 151 yards 1 TD (Win)
Week 16 vs Giants: 125 yards 1 TD (Loss)



Dallas has given up 14 games with 100+ yard rushers and lost 10 of them.
They have given 4 games with over 200+ yards rushing

I remember the early 90s Eagles did not allow a 100 yard rusher in ~54 straight games until Emmitt got over 100 in a game.

I wish the current Cowboys would build a run stopping D with similar results.

That is terrible. Cannot compete with those atrocious results.

Pathetic mediocre fans like me Haha

Guess that's better than dumb, stupid and idiotic fans like you


Urban and Osa are both run stuffing DT. Those are facts.

It's just physics. Osa is built like a 3-tech, and has pass rushing skills, length, and big hands, but can also move outside. 20 pounds is the difference between 2 weight classes in boxing, and for good reason. Not to say there isn't some flexibility, and variables here, but you're acting as though it's not an age old formula. Not many guys can be Aaron Donald.
Osa is pushing almost 290 and can absolutely play 1 tech. I remember folks saying the same thing about Jay Ratliff too, then they became his biggest fan until he lost his mind

I would like the Cowboys D to strive for only allowing 100+ rushing yards in 1-2 games out of 17.

0 200-300+ yard rushing games.

That would be nice. Most of the guys that drafted the past 2 days are excellent at run stopping but they are just rookies. They can't be that bad stopping the run again this year or folks need to be fire

Your facts make me laugh.

Its exactly like Marrinelli and his quick twitch BS. How well did that work out?

The problem with your vision of the middle of the line is that you need at least 4 DTs of about equal ability so that you can platoon them to keep them fresh. We might have 2 starters now but that is up for debate.

They signed Urban which is a run stopping DT and drafted Osa who is also a run stopping DT. This notion that 1 tech run stopping DT has to be 6'4 and 380 lbs is just crazy. Osa can easily hit 300 lbs once he is on that NFL weight plan.
He feels like a 3-4 end to me. Happy to be wrong.

So Urban and Osa aren't run stuffing DT? It's ok if you haven't studied their film, just don't act like you have

Remember when everyone wanted andrew billings the big super strong 1T who can barely make the field and does nothing for the bangles. Just taking a big guy isn't enough either.

Don't hate the pick. He may be the mad dog we need. I am concerned about our coaches and getting any D-line athlete to perform to their ceiling.
I don't know because Gallimore got better and Hill was showing flashes before he got hurt. It's a wait and see approach from me. I give players at least 3 years before I want to move on from them
