R end is holding back an already good defense

[3rdEyewarrior]

Let me explain. Yeah we get sacks, but we need an end to set the edge like d law does or close to it to stop those big runs. Sam Williams had the size for it. I’d hope Barr at lb er can help. He’s a pretty big lb er.

Yeah Micha stunk it up too at setting the edge on the right side but I give him a pass because I feel he was only at 70% due to the flu.

And over use. He’s covering and rushing the passer.

I think it has more to do with playing an undersized front. We switched to a true 3-4 in the 2nd half. We played the run better

That's why you don't play him at de full time. A 245lber isn't setting an edge vs a 320lb ot. You can't expect him to be able to.

Our run defense still worries me a little. We gave up over 100 yards rushing in the first half.

That we did.

And gave up 40 in the 2nd. I'm confused on how bad or good this rush D is.

Our defense is adjusting in the 2nd half. What is working for teams in the first half have not worked in the 2nd.

I think it comes down to what DQ wants to stop
He was playing a mistake prone QB so he went pass rush over run stopping in first half

It sure seems that way. Halftime came and they shut down the run and it wasn't a fluke. A lot of his at the light or backfield.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Maybe our linebackers just suck at filling the holes.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Dallas needs a real run stopping MLB. LVE is ok but you want a dominate defense ok has to get better. I'd also maybe think about giving Brown some competition at the corner spot. And on the DT side. I thought Gallimore was pretty much it against the run. Nobody really pushed the middle consistently in the pass game-let alone the run. Also Quinn has to find a way to get Parson loose. Teams are now scheming against him and pretty much being successful at neutralizing and slowing up Parsons. IMO.

If we have 2 mobster d t s and a Wagner at mid lb er , we could get by

I totally agree with you. Let willams play more, put Micha at LB and let him rush when Williams drops into coverage.

Teams will run less when we score more tds.

It's early to pass judgment but I feel we ae doing pretty well stuffing the run on short-yardage, and I actually think Armstrong is pretty decent at setting an edge. I think where we are getting caught out is on draw plays and situations where we are getting up the field and our linebackers aren't doing a good job filling the holes.

 

[Zman5]

Armstrong does well against the run. The big outside runs today were against Fowler and Williams.
