Is it time for a new defensive coordinator?

[Floatyworm]

I don't know how we continue to "Trust Marinelli"....

We have now blown games against Atlanta, New Orleans, Seattle, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and now the Jets.

We can't hold a lead.... Get unbelievably soft in coverage in the 4th quarter. Forget how to blitz in the 4th... I think

I've seen enough to know we gotta make a move.

Never been so frustrated by a defense. We play pretty solid for 3 quarters....then we completely go into a shell

and get conservative in the 4th....and just find a way to lose

How many times does a coach need to see when rushing 3 guys .....your not getting pressure...and your giving up

big plays? And figure it out it's not working??? ? Our DBs don't react to passes.....and just let guys make the

catch

 

[Proximo]

No.

 

[John813]

It would be nice to see Rod call a tad more blitzes. Our corners are on islands already with our safeties floating around.

 

[30yrheel]

Yes. Bend until you break sucks.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

Nope. I think with KM taking over for Romo next year the defense will automatically play much better

 

[Cmac]

Nope. I think with KM taking over for Romo next year the defense will automatically play much better

have we taken such a leap.....KM taken over for Romo next year?

 

[mattjames2010]

Here we go with the "But they only scored this and that much!" posts.

We're lacking turnovers, our already struggling offense has to drive the distance of the field far too often, and we can't stop anyone late in the 4th. Yes, a DC change needs to happen.

Maybe if your man crush didn't throw 3 interceptions the defense wouldnt have had to close the game out

So we've been told.

I just had a thot. Maybe we should have a Floaty Zone where all the QB Controversy threads and KM Annointed Next Starter threads can get banished.

Cowboys still have a very good shot at the NFL record for the fewest turnovers forced in the entire history of the NFL.

That, all by itself, is enough for Rod Marinelli to at least be questioned.

 

[YosemiteSam]

$10M a year and I will be the Cowboys DC. It's up to you Jerry.

 

[Chuck 54]

Much of what ails this defense would be remedied by two very good safeties.

 

[Alexander]

Depends on who is available. But we all know Jones isn't ready to cut the cord on Marinelli.

They seriously need to sit down and take a real good honest look at the scheme and what they are doing though.

There have been so many 3rd and forever plays that have been converted that you have to get upset about it and it isn't just the lack of a pass rush.

 

[Alexander]

They need to decide what they are. Are they a press-man or zone coverage team?

Marinelli has never been successful running man concepts but I think circumstances and this silly craze that started when Kiffin was around to be the next "Seattle" has corrupted the basics to what he does.

As bad as our safeties have been....I'm convinced the coaching and scheme have a lot more to do w/ it.

 

[mattjames2010]

Maybe if our defense created more than one turnover a game we would have been in the position the Jets were yesterday.

But hey, Marinelli is untouchable.

Click bait...........

 

[HeavyBarrel]

I'll take a different DC and better players....Hey GM Jerry, mix in a big school safety for a change......

 

[The Natural]

Yes it is. But if Garrett gets to stick around despite his ineptitude I don't see why Marinelli shouldn't either.

 

[TrailBlazer]

That's moronic. They played probably 75 snaps on defense bc our offense is inept. The defense isn't the problem. At least it hasn't been lately. The real problem is settling for field goals all the time.
