This is the problem. You can't have one without the other..it doesn't work that way..you either want bad boys or you don't
Nonsense. There have been plenty of guys who played nasty on the field, but were nice guys off it.

Before the season, McCarthy made some long speech about tailoring the scheme to the players. He then puts in some ultra complicated read and react hybrid defense in place with a group of low IQ defenders . . . with no preseason.

It was a train wreck waiting to happen and it really exposed McCarthy as all talk and little thought.

Marinelli's scheme was too simple. Opposing QB's knew exactly where the openings were going to be before the snap. Last year, the pendulum went way too far the other way. I hope Quinn puts in a relatively simple, attacking defense where the defenders don't have to think much, with just enough wrinkles that opposing QB's get confused from time to time.
How about they run the Seahawks defense? Because that is what they are doing.

I know. I'm not familiar enough with the various options out of it to know if its going to be successful in today's NFL with this personnel group. I think people underestimate just how much better teams are at passing nowadays. There has to be enough wrinkles in it to keep opposing QB's guessing a little without so many wrinkles that it confuses your own team.

I can see them trying to Alpha all over him because they're threatened and it doesn't work.

I don't want him to cow down to the Hot Boyz dance revue.

I will be very disheartened if I start seeing pics of them all together with the # sign.
I won't be completely surprised either.
Honestly, that’s why they drafted those other guys. Quinn saw the need for a culture change on D, IMHO.

I think what he is saying is you need football players on defense, hard nosed guys who want to hit and knock the ball loose. The Cowboys have had guys who shy away from direct contact which is why they haven't played well.

It's not nonsense at all. Just bc you can find plenty over the entire history of the league doesn't mean they're easy to find. You want to patch this defense together one piece at a time until you can find all of these guys? Good luck

Can you tell me all the bad boys on the Doomsday defense? Or even the defenses from the 90's Super Bowls teams?

I think you want a bad boy or two that can bring the emotion that gets everyone fired up. A defense full of bad boys ain't gonna work either IMO. Gotta find the right mix.

Parsons is going to snatch the leadership role from dlaw and Jaylon in TC mark my words

Hoping for this

DLaw for all of his overall great effort, has moved to compartmentalizing the game as a means to an end following his contentious contract negotiation.

Jaylon was too quick to try and capitalize on one good season and is now exposed as a very limited player with little total care for the team's success. He'll just doll up before and after games and say "it starts with me".

Indeed it did.

VanderEsch deferred to others and never fought for the Defensive leadership role when it might have made a difference. He will not be able to regather the clout he could have had in the locker room.

He has heart but his injury situation leaves any future reverance by his teammates unlikely so long as 54 is on this club.

Parsons should be sequestered by Quinn and plainly told this Defense is to be molded to your abilities and expectations. Amount him as The Man Day 1,and make it clear to him he is NOT to succumb to locker room hierarchy.

Dez did similar and for 4 or 5 seasons the Cowboys were at least a dangerous football team that gave great effort up and down the roster.

Micah Parsons, Keanu Neal, Jabril Cox, Kelvin Joseph, Osa Odighizuwa- we have some defenders now that can hit, instill fear in opposing ballcarriers, and go all out on every snap.

I love Dan Quinn's culture change.
agree

different kind of culture change, we need some football players with an edge vs "the right kind of guys" ..

I'd say close to half the defensive players in the league are nasty on the field, but most of them are probably just fine once the game's over.

More than half? So Dallas is the only team full of pansies on defense? I'm not sure we have the same definition of nasty. Secondly, being nasty on the field doesnt mean they're nasty off the field. There are a bunch of different kind of character concerns off the field that don't have to deal w being nasty

First, I said almost half, not more than half. Second, isn't being nasty on the field but not nasty off the field what we were talking about? I think what qualifies as nasty off the field means anything that's likely to get them suspended or worse.

Yeah, what makes you think the guys we drafted would get suspended for off the field issues?
