It is a win, but still a lot of work to do

I will take a win every week...

But This defense still has a lot of improvement to go.

Washington did as many penalties and mistakes that it hurt them more than this D

They also need to find out how to tackle behind the LOS because they keep missing these RB and QBs.

And this was with lesser penalties on the Cowboys.

Yes. 24 hour rule. Enjoy the win. It was fun to watch them win.

But yeah the defense is still really concerning. It was not a good game for them defensively today.

It wasn't expected to be "fixed" after just 2 games.

Seeing improvement is a good and much needed thing though.

Lots of progress today but still worried about the run defense and our own running game.

The way Dart and Daniels have run around must have Lamar Jackson licking his chops.

Honestly the only improvement I thought that stood out was they made less penalties.

Where was the improvement? You mean after the backup qb was in? Before that I didn’t see much improvement.

It's good to play the Commodes after a loss. But we got to remember that they are bottom feeders. But I enjoyed the win.

They started to fly around and rush better the second half……a long way to go, but they didn’t look like the 32 ranked D the second half….which they looked like last season and last week.

The run defense is an abomination! Will this ever be corrected in my lifetime? *heavy sigh*

 

[SDCowboy]

Work wont fix the issue. We have no defense.

If Daniels doesnt get hurt this D would have been abused again. Same issues as last week. Safeties playing way too far off. LBs are clueless, but Barham is getting better. Winters is lost, reminds me to K. Murray. DEs put zero pressure on QB. CPs system is terrible and its looks more and more he benefited from Fangio's defense.

It got better after Daniels went out. But here comes Lamar next week.

 

[Yobwocs]

Only improvement is we forced some field goals instead of touchdowns. But Commanders fumbled snaps, Daniels got hurt, Quinn should've kicked the field goal, and Mariota's pass called back looked like a Touchdown to me.

 

[wecasa]

Bad angles. Bad form. Over running plays. Poor coverage.

Looks like paralysis by analysis. Too much thinking, not enough playing. Maybe the scheme is too much. Get back to basics.

 

[JayFord]

Are we sure Washington keeps Daniels past this season if he’s out an extended period of time?

 

[Grenic]

I'm sorry that D Is worse than last years

Barham with the turnover.

Now that we've completed the two pre-season games, let's see how we do in the opener next week on the road . . .

 

[Grenic]

this new DC is terrible

 

[thunderpimp91]

A much needed win. Enjoy it but I don’t see the improvement others are talking about on defense though. Tons of concerns about that side of the football.
