News: Schein:Cowboys 2nd best D

[xwalker]

I'm sure in your brain you thought you were making a good point here, copy and paste boy.

I did make a good point. Thanks for noticing.

 

[SlammedZero]

This is so true.

Seeing a pick 6 as a cowboys fan, is like seeing a unicorn.

That and punt returns.

Yes you did. Your lack of football IQ.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Sounds good to me.

Sounds like BS to me.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Well I came in to argue against the #2 best defense......but then I looked at the list.......maybe you can argue the Bears are better...hell I'd even agree but its not too many more units I'm taking over the Cowboys. Cowboys are flawed and not perfect by any means but so is everyone else on that list.

The 2nd best defense in the NFL doesn't give up 250 yards rushing in the most important game of the season. Not a chance.

Bought and paid for by Ole Jerrah himself.

Cost a pretty money to be at number two .

Cowboys Defense in 2018

• 6th in points allowed.
• 7th in total yards allowed.
• 4th in yards/carry allowed.

I guess the 25 teams that allowed more points much have D-Coordinators that are 30 years past their prime.

The Saints Defense was 14th in points allowed and 14th in total yards allowed. Their D-Coordinator must have been maxed out when he was 16...

Call me when they make a difference in the playoffs.

A lot of people forget that The Triplets had an awesome defense that helped them win 3 super bowls.

The main thing the current defense needs to justify this high ranking is generate turnovers better.

The defense can certainly do better in that department though I think the offense bears some of the blame too, they need to start putting points on the board to force teams into taking more risks.

2nd best D maybe in the NFC East


Certainly not in the entire league

Need better play inside from the DTs and the corners need to learn to turn their head and make plays on the ball.

Old-fella Marinelli will be exposed come playoff time as usual

You would think having a DC who won a Super Bowl, while having Warren Sapp (hall of famer) and Booger McFarland (very very good) playing DT for him, would recognize the importance of talented DT’s for his scheme.

But dementia sucks.

That and punt returns.

Punt return touchdowns for cowboys fans are like seeing Bigfoot.

73 rush yards allowed in the Seattle game...

Move on Troll Master.

 

[Wolfpack]

Amazingly, we were 5th in the NFL in run defense last year. But, you can bet every team on our schedule has dissected the Ram game and will try to imitate their success.

I can think of one coach who probably didn’t learn a lesson from that game.

That was solid run d last year and got totally out coached in the rams game.

 

[Risen Star]

Move on Troll Master.

Reply to me.

Get challenged.

Tell the guy you replied to initially to move on.

I guess it's a little more than just his football IQ.

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

Bill Parcells 2003 defense was number one in points number 2 in yards. (or vice versa) But if we can reach that level of success again we won't miss Zeke that much at all.

Our team is going to go as far as our D will take us.. It use to be that we would need to score 25+ a game in order to have a chance to win, now it is going to be on our D to hold teams to 17 or less for us to have a chance to win. I predicted this would happen a few years ago and i maintain that to this day

Marinelli also got out coached in the GB playoff loss in 2016. GB jumped on us 21-0 before he finally started dialing up some blitzes to slow rodgers. in LA, he never did figure out to stop the run.

I highly doubt we're top 3. We don't have the horses on the interior DL, or at S.

I think we'll be pretty good though, if we stay healthy. And the offense can score in the redzone. That helps.

We were a little better than league average on defense last season with some outlier performances, we were also pretty good in redzone defense.

Not top 3, but I'd say top 10. #6 to #8. Top 10 is generally good enough to be a legitimate SB contender if your offense is top 10 as well, which is a pretty good chance.

We were the 7th ranked D last year and i don't think we will be any worse this year. You are right we may not be a top 3 D but we can certainly be a top 5 D

Well like I said above....its not about how great the Cowboys are its about how bad everyone else is.

I'm trying to give you a smack to the face for each yard given up against the Rams but it won't let me.
