5 Sacks just cause of the opponent or legitimate?

[Cowboyny]

-Jets had one of the most healthy offensive lines in the entire league
-All and all have played well up to the Cowboy game
-Eberflus did use some Quinn/Zimmer games up front. Saw many twists/stunts and even a double A gap blitzes.
-They didn't run much press coverage and were worse when they did.
-This was the first time that they really played ahead of the scoreboard
-Justin Fields tends to hold onto the football longer then most QB's.

No, I am not convinced they all of sudden found a pass rush. Need to see it against a better opponent/QB, but this team really needed a confidence boost. What I do know is, James Houston is legitimate as he has done this every week of the season. Let's hope Fowler follows up his best performance and Ez eventually breaks out. Also, nice to see both our interior lineman join the sack party!

I still would be calling the Bengals about Hendrickson's availability as that would fix the problem overnight and turn it into a possible strength. Also, keep in mind, as we see with Ez, there is a steep learning curve at the position, better to get a veteran then wait for a prospect's development when our QB isn't getting any younger. No, this defense isn't 1 player away, but this would be a huge piece that would be filled. Last thing I will say, he won't cost a 1st rd pick as he is a fa after the season, day 2 pick probably gets it done.

Fowler looked noticeably better Sunday than any other game. The DL also used more stunts and games than I've seen so far this season.

I think you are being generous in your opinion of the Jets. They have not won a game. They have a good shot at the #1 overall pick. They are bad.

They should of beaten the Steelers, played Tampa down to the wire. Yes, they are a bad team, but they weren't even competitive on Sunday.

We shall wait and see , if the trend continues and again better opponents , then we may have something

Seemed to be some matchups against the tackles that we were able to exploit. I don't know if that is because the Jets have bad tackles. I believe the right tackle is a first-round rookie, though, so veterans can sometimes take advantage of rookies early in their careers.

However, I don't think the Jets prepared for us to stunt and twist as much as we did. Why would they since we hadn't shown that this season? I'd say our next opponent will be prepared for that, but Quinn used that kind of approach throughout his time here and teams didn't seem to be able to stop it. Of course, he also had Parsons.

It's a catch 22, it creates more pressure, but opens up huge rushing lanes.

 

[tromofan]

This weekend in Carolina will be a much better test. But it’s clear the Cowboys defense is starting to find its footing in this new scheme.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Will add that the CBs had a generally better showing. Diggs, for example, did very well against Wilson causing Fields to hold the ball longer.

The coverage has been so terrible that I don’t think we’ve got an accurate gage of our pass rush.

The coverage was decent Sunday & we finally got some sacks.

True but they have been in almost all their games .

Dallas dominated them at their house.

 

[zrinkill]

I think a light went off on some of our young linemen.

We will have to see the next game but it looked promising.

Unlike any other game they were beating the guy in front of them. They’ve faced some bad lines and couldn’t do it. Not sure why the change but I don’t think it was just opponent.

 

[Praxit]

..players finally stepping up. I felt Dallas defense would start to get better with each game.

Eberfluke, figuring things out, as FIGURING OUT which players can do what.

 

[Stash]

It's a catch 22, it creates more pressure, but opens up huge rushing lanes.

Bingo!

 

[Carson]

For the record, the Jets allowed sacks each week

STEELERS - 1
BILLS - 4
TAMPA BAY - 4
MIAMI - 2

It was the most sacks they allowed all season.

true but there clearly has been a problem for them

I think its a split decision: some of the pressure we got is because they are not that good and some of it was us doing better

 

[Zman5]

Probably combination of things. Like some of the players on Defense are getting into gameshape. People forget Sam Will, Diggs and Bland didn't play much or at all last year.

I've heard can be obtained for a 2nd and forth.

I don't think adding a pass rusher solves the problem.

A elite off-ball LB would completely change the defense. A clone of Fred Warner...
