Twitter: Dak's stats vs Top 5 Scoring defenses

[CowboyRoy]

Top 5 scoring defenses?

What about just top 5 defenses?

You still think Dak is a backup?

In the CFL.

In the CFL.

Man you really nailed that one huh? You should be a scout.

Scoring against is more legit than yards.

Of course it is! Just ask Belicheat. His defenses generally are ranked higher in point allowed than yards allowed. Common sense here, giving up less points is more important than giving up less yards!

Scoring defense is more important than yards given up. You guys don’t realize this. How long have you been football fans? A week.

Points per Drive >>>>> Opponents points per game


Right now, Dallas is ranked 5th in points per game. We all know that this defense isnt top 5 or anywhere close to it

umm ... they are also 6th in yards allowed

 

[WillieBeamen]

umm ... they are also 6th in yards allowed

Umm, And they are 17th in yards per drive...


So what does that tell you??


You arent insinuating you think this is a top-5 defense, are you?

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

What if we destroy the Vikings as Dak goes 32-40 for 400 yards and 5 TDs?

He'll still suck because he missed that one pass in the third quarter, right? LOL

I think that some of these people that are convinced that Dak sucks are some of the same people that used to say that we should tank for Rosen a few years ago. That didn't work out so good either.

A lot of the people who believe Dak sucks are the same people who have an excuse for every Romo mistake. They are being overtly critical on purpose. Just put them on ignore.

they are headed that way

crunched some numbers on JG as HC ... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/GarrJa0.htm

if you average the ranks in each year as HC ...
in all categories (O or D) his team's have been best at fumbles recovered and worst at getting INTs
they hit hard, but do not play the ball well, for example, so far in 2019 they are 3rd in FR, and 24th in INTs

as of now they are a very balanced team, 5th in points on O, 5th in points allowed on D, 3rd in net points overall

so yeah they're top 5

I'll lay money they finish top 5 in net points, and top 5 in both O and D scoring in 2019

Name the teams because we haven’t played a top 5 scoring defense this year.

unless you mean scoring defense by defenses that have scored touchdowns And not teams that have given up the fewest points.

Lol...that's what I originally thought...of course 5am drinking coffee and a little foggy.

 

[Diehardblues]

Not to be a drag here, but how do these "top 5 scoring defenses" compare to just plain "top 5 defenses"? I'm guessing they're not the same teams?

Please. No facts to dispute the narrative here. Lol

 

[phildadon86]

Why u @ me ?


Didnt he lose twice his rookie season to the Giants?

They finished 4th in points allowed...

Going back to 2016? You’re better than that. Lol

 

[Diehardblues]

Does it really matter though? Would it have any impact on your opinion?

I hope not. Your consistency gives us all comfort Risen.

Let’s see those stats and numbers then we can decide. How about that?

 

[Diehardblues]

Scoring against is more legit than yards.

No it’s not cause scoring can can come from special teams and defense.

There’s a reason NFL stats officially ranks defenses by total yards.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

It's a what if. I hate it hurt your feelings.

Didn’t hurt my feelings it’s just a weird thing to say out of nowhere.

 

[Diehardblues]

Top 5 scoring defenses?

What about just top 5 defenses?

C’mon now . That might not present the same facts and support this narrative. Lol

Dak is great against top 5 scoring defenses. Wooohoooo
But not top 5 defenses I’m betting.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What is the likelihood of a teams scoring defense being made up of nothing but special teams points? Highly unlikely.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

C’mon now . That might not present the same facts and support this narrative. Lol

Dak is the greatest against top 5 scoring defenses.
But not top 5 defenses I’m betting.

So I guess you are a fan of defenses that play bend but don’t break and let you rack up yards against them as opposed to defenses that actually get turnovers and limit you from scoring?
