David Moore w/ Norm Hitzges on The Ticket today -
- There's a lack of defensive "expertise" in the front office and scouting department
- Ownership/franchise culture is offensive-centric. (Cowboys have not resigned a 1st rd pick on defense since Demarcus Ware)
- Scouts lean towards offensive players to satisfy the owner
- The last two Cowboys head coaches were offensive-minded
- This dynamic leads to a situation where the franchise leans on the defensive coordinator excessively regarding personnel decisions
- They always view the next defensive coordinator as their "savior". Meanwhile, in Baltimore, a new DC is expected to contribute to established defensive culture.
- When the DC is fired or goes elsewhere (Norm mentioned Quinn leaving for another HC job if he turns this thing around), the franchise has to start from scratch because there's no foundational defensive system in place here in Dallas
- Mentioned how now they're throwing numbers at the problem in hopes that competition will fix the problem (no real plan)
Well, Jerry put all those Super Bowls together himself with the triplets, so of course he thinks offense is the priority.
Excellent summary of a structural flaw the Jones cartel not only doesn’t recognize, it probably wouldn’t care if it did anyway.David Moore w/ Norm Hitzges on The Ticket today -

Long time beat writer covering the Cowboys for the Dallas paper. An outstanding reporter.I’m sorry but who is David Moore??
hmmmI don’t know what we got at hc right now but I’d like to believe that Coach Garrett was out there teaching technique all the way down to the basics on the defensive side of the ball. So this talk about him being a offensive oriented coach is a giant crock. Because when I look back all I saw was a leader of men and the giant mistake it was to let him out the door.
Umm, Jason Garrett has a ring too. He has two.What did Jason Garrett know? Clapping and spitting? At least Big Mike has a ring.

We have no defensive identity. In fact we don't have an identity as a team. Our players have adopted the identity of the owner and GM. They play for themselves and care more about the sizzle than the substance, just like Daddy Jerry taught them.Excellent summary of a structural flaw the Jones cartel not only doesn’t recognize, it probably wouldn’t care if it did anyway.
One only has to look at this team’s defensive history since winning its last SB in 1995 to see this foundational flaw. Since we hoisted the Lombardi in SB XXX, this team has hired 8 defensive coordinators, including 4 DCs in 9 years: Dave Campo, Mike Zimmer, Brian Stewart, Rob Ryan, Monte Kiffin, Rod Marinelli, Mike Nolan, and now Dan Quinn.
And this team has changed schemes far too often- From the 90s 4-3 to the 3-4 under Parcells and Phillips, then back to the 4-3, then the “hybrid” 4-3 (4-2-5?) under Nolan, and now back to the 4-3 under Quinn. This team changes defensive philosophies like underwear. It’s hard to build a defense when you don’t even know what kind of defense you are trying to be.
Dont go there Vanalli2 I wandered in the Garrett desert like a false prophet for years.I don’t know what we got at hc right now but I’d like to believe that Coach Garrett was out there teaching technique all the way down to the basics on the defensive side of the ball. So this talk about him being a offensive oriented coach is a giant crock. Because when I look back all I saw was a leader of men and the giant mistake it was to let him out the door.
Garrett hand picked MarinelliThe big issue is Jason Garrett was never allowed to pick his defensive coordinator and was never held accountable for defensive gaffs. Any other HC would have been fired instead of shuffling around DCs.
Can I give you a dislike?I don’t know what we got at hc right now but I’d like to believe that Coach Garrett was out there teaching technique all the way down to the basics on the defensive side of the ball. So this talk about him being a offensive oriented coach is a giant crock. Because when I look back all I saw was a leader of men and the giant mistake it was to let him out the door.
Very well said.We have no defensive identity. In fact we don't have an identity as a team. Our players have adopted the identity of the owner and GM. They play for themselves and care more about the sizzle than the substance, just like Daddy Jerry taught them.
This draft was the epitome of the franchise. A few good players in the midst of a random events that seem to have no plan or direction. I can't speak for everyone but I feel a lot of frustration and I think the frustration is this draft is a microcosm of the franchise. Just going through the motions and hoping we'll be successful and if not then at least we'll be talked about.
Well if that is the case why not offer Sean Lee an intern coaching position.David Moore w/ Norm Hitzges on The Ticket today -
