This defense is horrible

[Chuck 54]

For all the whining and hate, we are missing the grunt work of Crawford. Certainly not the only factor, but when you’re light in the pants at both DT and DE, a guy like Crawford makes everyone better.

Im sorry but our defense is really bad. Forget about the names we have on defense, they can’t stop the run or the pass. We cannot win a sb with this kind of play on defense.

Next week We face a 60 year old qb with zero mobility. I’m sorry Brady has had an awful year. But they’ll our coach our sorry defense and Dak is going to have to bail us out again.

Ya tired of hearing how Kris Richard is the next big HC out there lol our Defense has gotten worse..We cant stop the run or the pass ..at least pick 1...

KR isn’t the DC.

 

[DuncanIso]

Really! They gave up a whopping 301 total yards, & 20 points after the offense coughed the ball up on their own 25, for an easy TD drive. Allowed 70 whole rushing yards to Lions' RBs, & 51 to their running QB. Come on--get real. They played on the road against a desperate Lions team, & still only gave up the previous numbers. I'll take it. Can & should they get better?- yes. This is what you get when you whiff on a drug addict in the 2nd rd. in one draft, & an underachiever in the 1st in another. Unless & until they learn to identify quality rush men & run stuffers, the defense will be average. They're far from terrible, though.

they were schooled by the Jets.

Our defense is Basic at best.

 

[Fredbeard]

That's a really stupid comment. Those guys are paid to occupy blockers so the LBs & Safeties can fill the gaps for tackles. I watched countless whiffs by all three LBs, as well as the DBs. Still, the defense gave up a total of 121 yards rushing-51 by a running QB, mostly during DE/DT stunts. The guys behind them do their jobs & tackle like they should, & the DTs are heroes. So, spare me.

What's really stupid is homers such as yourself continue to defend such mediocre play from the cowboys dts .if the dts had generated any interior pressure Jeff driscol likely wouldnt have been able to scramble for 51 yards. What is truly amazing is Scarborough wasn't in the nfl until the lions signed him a few weeks ago and jeff driscol iw a backup who played his first snaps last week.this game should have been a blow out for the cowboys

 

[TheHerd]

It hasnt reached that point yet, but this defense could end up worse or just as bad as that 2013 travesty.

Thomas Brady is going to absolutely annihilate this defense

Brady hasn't had a great season, but next week could be a different story. Or it may be so easy to run for them, Brady don't pass much. The Patriots win with defense, but their defense won't have to play very well to win this one.

 

[zerofill]

Same story different year...

Either the offense is doing great, or the defense is... there is never a balance in Dallas.

This goes all the way back to traffic cone Spears. People simply cannot seem to comprehend the role of DT's, and how them being disruptive makes your D go.

Thank God we drafted the next Linval Joseph/Snacks Harrison/Fletcher Cox type this year in the second round...oh wait.

 

[gmb1]

The defense is fricking horrible!



I had nothing to add

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Not sure what’s worse, ST or defense?

 

[Ekspozed]

Brady hasn't had a great season, but next week could be a different story. Or it may be so easy to run for them, Brady don't pass much. The Patriots win with defense, but their defense won't have to play very well to win this one.

Why won't their defense have to play well?

 

[Aven8]

We just can’t have it all can we? It’s awful. We can’t stop anyone.

 

[OldCoach]

We've truly got nothing at defensive tackle, with nothing on the way. Woods is a journeyman free agent type that plays like it. Collins is a boom-or-bust pass rusher who gets annihilated on a regular basis against the run, and the rest aren't worth mentioning. Bennett is an end playing inside on pass rush downs.

They need to invest at least two quality draft pick on defensive tackle next year, and maybe a free agent as well.

Right after Marinelli gets his handshake and gold watch.

Someone important needs to read this

Hey!

You are important! Don't let anybody tell you any different!

 

[Blackspider214]

I don't know how it's ranked 6th....it plays like a 25th rank defense.

Rankings mean zero. If anyone actually watched the games, they would know this defense is not good. They don't make any plays at all. They can't tackle. They gave up over 500 yards to the Giants. Miami marched up and down the field all 1st half. Sam Darnold off mono torched us and trashed us in the media. Embarrassing. They were putrid against the Vikings, who ran the same 3 plays all game like a game of Tecmo Bowl and we never adjusted.

 

[TheHerd]

Why won't their defense have to play well?

Because our defense won't stop them at all

 

[FTWayne]

I believe it would be instant better if you move Smith out of the middle. He gets washed out too easy and can only go straight. Oh well.

 

[SportsGuru80]

The middle of our D-line is soft as pudding.

 

[Creeper]

Believe it or not the defense only gave up 312 yards today. They gave up about 360 to the Vikings last week. The reason this defense does not look as great as the stats is because they do not take the ball away and they are very soft when they should be hitting the gas. This is not an attacking defense. The DBs play safe. The LBs play off the LOS.
