Top-Five defenses in the NFL

[TequilaCowboy]

Seems like mostly looking for clickbait and comments, and succeeding from the looks of it.

Realistically, Cowboys shouldn’t even be in the top 15 defense at this point.

 

[Brooksey]

I a pretty solid homer but damn, this is too high

It's real simple, we will field one of the best pass rushes in the league

 

[Whyjerry]

What ain’t no country I ever heard of. they speak English is what?

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I think that was the only appropriate response for the Dallas defense rating.

"Click on my site and tell me I'm wrong" jesus..

Ding ding

Now read through this thread and see how effective that type of engagement is

 

[JayFord]

Based on what?

As of right now if the league started today I'd have them right around 15

 

[plasticman]

Wouldn't that be nice?

I wonder how many defenses can make a jump from being close to last in every category of run defense to being one of the best overall defenses in the league.....in one offseason.

A lot of things would have to go right, the primary one being the health of players.

Diggs and Overshown would have to return in their best selves.

Mazi would have to break out.

Parsons would need to have a DPOY season.

Bland would have to be Bland

The EDGE rotation would need multiple contributors from the trio of Kneeland, Williams and ....the rookie.

The takeaways would have to return to a fruitful number.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Whoever “ML FOOTBALL” is has to be a prankster. This is Saturday Night Live level stuff.

 

[Bullflop]

While this is surely a gratifying report to the homers of the Cowboys, it's also grossly overstated.

As tempting as it may be to believe that overblown optimism, I'll await the future info to believe it.

Our defense will be better, by default, with a healthy offense.

 

[Bullflop]

Whatever the MLF football scribes are smoking, I'd really like to try some of it.

 

[Frozen700]

Definitely made by a cowboys fan

Yeah, what in the world they basing that on? We were 28th last year.

So. I clicked on MLFootball seen in the tweet beside its logo. It took me the source page:

Afterwards, I clicked on the embedded link above. Then I laughed.

So no excuses for Dak this year
He has a top 5 defense

 

[ChronicCowboy]

This team allowed the most TD’s in the league last season (55 - tied with Titans). They were ranked fifth worst in the league in yards allowed. MLFootball must have been sleeping last season.

Pass Defense has a chance to be really good if Revel is as advertised and is ready to go early on; and if Diggs can return by mid-season and return to form it could be great.
