That's why I call them jump around defensive tackles. Because when they come off the ball they try to jump around the offensive guards leaving big holes. John Ridgeway was physically incapable of laying like that. If we want to stop the run we have to abandon the one gap system. Go to a two gap system and bring in players like John Ridgeway and Suh...natural two gap players.
Phillips plays a 3-4, we definitely don't have the LBs for a 3-4Bring in Wade Phillips as consultant.
He can generate sacks/pressure without giving up 200 yards on ground.
And for Pete's sake, sign Ndamukong Suh already.
It does feel like everybody fell in love with all the sacks and equated that to great defense.It's a small sample size, but this looks more like scheme than personnel. "Who cares how many sacks you have" when teams can do this to you?
Good question. Dallas better find some answers, and soon.
It's only a few plays, but when you see them it's not hard to grasp why what Dallas did wasn't working.
Dan Quinn needs to be fired if this keeps happening. He's our D-Coordinator and the one who signed off on cutting John Ridgeway. John Ridgeway was Jerry's pick, but it's becoming very obvious why John Ridgeway was cut. Probably because John Ridgeway either refused to run such crazy stunts that expose our Defense or because he was a gap-plugging type of DT who didn't fit into the mold of being able to execute such crazy called stunts of Dan Quinn's.That's why I call them jump around defensive tackles.

True. The difference is Dan Quinn likes to have 5 DBs in the secondary, with 1 playing a hybrid/rover type. If Cowboys go 3-4, they will be limited to mostly a standard 4 DBs and outside LBs who have to both rush from the edge, contain the edge and try to cover the pass when necessary.The pieces for a 3-4 scheme are there, Parsons OLB, Clark ILB. Hankins NT etc
