I asked you a very specific question.
I asked about the DT Collins.
I did not ask about LVE.
I'll repeat the question.
Why was Collins outside the right hash after initially being between the hashes where the RB ended up going?
A: Collins took himself outside off the snap.
B: Collins was overpowered off the snap and driven to the outside by OLinemen.
I thought I answered it. I said he vacated the area. He wasn’t washed out on that particular play.
OK.
I just want to establish the issues related to the DL then we can come back to how it relates to the LBs.
"Collins vacated the area" means that Collins took himself out of the middle area of the field.
He was not driven out by the OL.
It would not matter if Collins was the biggest & strongest DL in history if he takes himself out that area of the field.
It was the scheme that caused Collins to be outside the hashes when the run went back inside the hashes.
It was not related to the physical ability of Collins.
Collins has assignments within the scheme and on this play those assignments took him out of the middle of the field.
Note:
Marinelli is at fault with either answer that I suggested from the previous post.
The difference is whether it's the players (DTs) the Cowboys are acquiring or the scheme.
The possible answers that I had suggested:
A: Collins took himself outside off the snap.
B: Collins was overpowered off the snap and driven to the outside by OLinemen

I was hoping @xwalker would come up with a another fairytale thread about how the DTs aren’t the issue with the run defense and they aren’t totally getting manhandled.
THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE WITH RUN DEFENSE IS NOT HAVING A NT THAT CAN TAKE ON COMBO BLOCK/DOWN BLOCK .

Jenkins just exposed the whole DL and took them to the wood shed. If Jerry wants to win meaningful games in the post-season or even make it to the playoffs he will need to make a trade for a true NT like Star Louteleli.
Good video.
Ironically, they're getting beat by the same misdirection tricks Moore is introducing to our offense.
What’s your theory on the linebacker play? I don’t think it’s a lack of ability. I think the linebackers are having to play super aggressively because of poor scheme/poor play by the front four.
When the DT takes himself out of the play due to assignments, the margin for error for LBs becomes zero.
If the LBs recognize plays instantly they can make the play but no LB will make the perfect decision every time.
Technically, if the LB makes the wrong decision, he is at fault.
The DT played his assignment and is not technically at fault.
It was the scheme that took the DT outside the hash marks.
It was the scheme that make the margin of error for Vander Esch basically zero.
They have plenty of talent at both LB and DT. Belichick could win Super Bowls with the Cowboys defensive roster.
This.
I think it's more of a LB problem than it is a DT problem.
Dallas should trade a mid-round pick for a NT.
Yep. Jaylon and LVE are both routinely missing open-field tackles that they nailed in 2018, and I can't tell you why.
Which NT should they trade for?Dallas should trade a mid-round pick for a NT.

I think it is both, a poor dline is affecting the LB's and not exposing their talent. A defensive lineman that is above average will change the complexion of the defense in a very positive way. IMO A Woods is average at best, a value addition when we really need a talent acquisition. We are close to having it our way so I am not totally disheartened. We were misinformed about M Collins coming into his own and instead his weakness has been exploited.This.
