They don't have an answer for our defense. They can run as many variations as they want at the Cowboys D... we still shutting them down.

Yes, it's awesome not to have to try to scheme around limited players.

Kris Richard is awesome but he has much better players to work with than past defensive coaches.

In past years they had to "protect" certain players.

Church: Had to avoid the wrong matchups in coverage.

Carr: Good when when protected by 2 deep Safeties but exposed otherwise.

Claiborne: Pick plays or anything complicated like bunch formations.

LBs other than Lee: Limited in coverage.

There are many other examples

Right players, right coaching... it's a combination hard to beat.

That New Orleans game...

Makes my heart warm to hear people always say "they held NO to 10 points" everytime the Dallas defense is mentioned. It really was the signature, "we have arrived" game for the defense.

(This happens in the video for anyone wondering why I'm a week behind)

It's a signature game if the D keeps showing up. I really feel like this team is different, but success has ruined this team often during Garrett's tenure.

I'm drinking the koolaid, but I'm only taking sips right now.

Same. I totally get what you're saying right here. Drinking the koolaid, but only in sips.
