Upcoming changes to the Cowboys

[Verdict]

It’s one game. It sucked. Keep this game in perspective. It’s one game in 17. It matters. But it’s still just one game.

I saw Parker make some in game adjustments. He will work hard. He will make some changes. He gathered data points from the loss. I expect the defense will improve.

I AM concerned how wide open the receivers were in the passing game. That’s problematic.

I think you are going to see more of Barham, and less of Overshown. I also think you will see more Durant.

We did not get much pressure in the first half. We did get some well disguised blitzes in the second half. Downs wrecked Dart on one of them. We haven’t seen that in years.

There are some positives to be taken from this game. I’m as frustrated as any of you. But I think we will see some adjustments and improvement. Give it some time. The Giants are a much better team than most think they are. The entire NFC East is improved.

The big question is, if you are Jerry do you make a move? If so what is that move?

What do we need MOST? Pressure player on defense? A corner? A linebacker, An OT?

Pickens pulled a disappearing act last night. Would you part with him? Flournoy looked as good as Pickens last night.

overshown was lost out there. missing tackles and going to wrong way a few times. i was like what is going on.

Dude said he was running like a wild horse but looks like he got thrown off. Hate to see someone get hurt but we’re beyond the point of moving on and finding someone more reliable. Might as well roll with Barham and let him take his lumps early at least he physically meets the bill

Well the defense can’t get any worse than last night so I guess that’s positive.
Exactly what adjustments did you see Parker make? I saw the Giants do the same exact things over and over with the same results.

I would add that this defense will never be a dominant one if it still has Liufau as a major contributor......he remains undisciplined and a liability to be exploited

Holy overreaction Batman.

 

[G2]

The pass rush is nonexistent.

He is on IR and likely only still a Cowboy because of his injury. A healthy Liufau doesn't make the 53.

When all you got is a QB and two WR you gota use them and they have to catch. It’s time for Dak to go all air and deep. Stop trying to be what you’re not. Throw the ball, catch the ball and be the high paid WR you are supposed to be. Do this or lose another year.

 

[chicago JK]

It is one game but not a good performance.

It starts with pressure. If you can get pressure or teams think you can get pressure it just changes things. Without it Dallas is lost. Especially when it seems like they are again not disciplined.

It feels like they don't have studs at linebacker or corner back. Add that to a team that can't get pressure rushing 4 and it is a recipe for disaster. Seems like there are a ton of ways teams can attack Dallas if they don't have consistent pressure on the QB.

on offense...i'd like to see more aggressive shots down the field.

on defense...outside of a few players,i dont have alot of hope.
very disappointing...especially the coverage breakdowns.

 

[visionary]

Worst thing Jerry can do is make a move and trade away more draft picks
Parker was making zero adjustments yesterday, the Giants ran the same play several times and no adjustment for me.
The deficiency on the team is not talent, it is now scheme, experience of defensive coordinator, physicality, attitude, discipline.

A huge part of the problem was lack of production on offense, our elite QB was seeing ghosts, running around, throwing late, bad interception, not reading the defense properly, which has been as weakness for a long time.
These things are all on Gerry and Shotty and Dak

We get a lot of interference calls and cd and Pickens catch a lot of them. It Is our best play.

LBers as a group are bad.

 

[LouBrown]

The schematic changes don't matter.

The CBs are bad
The LBs are bad
The Edges are bad

You can't scheme out of this sort of talent deficiency

Might be a good time to get him locked up on a team friendly long term deal lol

 

[NDGAEDE]

Overshown was bad, yes, but Barham was too.

They need to sign Wagner today. He won't fix this defense but they need any help they can get at LB.

 

[Patrick]

Bobby Wagner should have been signed before the 4th quarter hit 0:00 last night.

Overshown and Winters are terrible, every single play action they fell for.

Also, stop dropping pass rushers into coverage....

 

[Creeper]

On the positive side, it was a bad night for Dallas. Dropped passes and fumbles that did not go their way had an impact on the outcome. Dak's idiotic throw away that was intercepted seemed to change the tone of the game for both teams.

If the ball bounced Dallas's way maybe they could have pulled it out. But the defense was so bad I am not sure it could have made a difference. The Cowboys looked rusty and unprepared all around. Yes, it's the first game. But the Giants were playing their first game too. They looked like they knew what they were doing.

I cannot emphasize this enough. Schottenheimer is a 3rd or 4th tier coach. I don't think any other team would hire him as a head coach. Harbaugh is a tier 1 coach. It showed for both teams last night. One was prepared with a stellar game plan. The other looked rusty and unsure of itself.
