I would've fired Marinelli and Richard after this game. One RB was injured, and the other was overweight.
No, fans haven't.
Dallas had a top-10 run defense per attempt this year.
Approximately 50 yards including a grand 47 from Zeke.......How many rushing yards did we?
Aww here y'all go with this lol......Dallas run defense sucked last year too regardless of what the stats say. Go look at what Aaron Jones did to our defense and tell us that the run defense wasn't a problem. Just because the stats got inflated because they didn't play many good rushing attacks doesn't mean its not a issue.No, fans haven't.

And about 11 months later they got a mudhole stomped in em.
Ok, now go do this for every team.Aww here y'all go with this lol......Dallas run defense sucked last year too regardless of what the stats say.

Its not nitpicking...anytime they faced a decent rushing attack they got done in. They didn't face many last year.Ok, now go do this for every team.
There are like 7 good rushing attacks in the entire NFL. Dallas was better than most.
Nitpicking single games to make broad strokes about the defense is pointless. Dallas couldn't score against NO, NE, or PHI. Offense should be the offseason priority. Same logic.
Cook averaged 3.7 ypc lolIts not nitpicking...anytime they faced a decent rushing attack they got done in. They didn't face many last year.
Vikings ran all over them.
Packers ran all over them.
Coincidentally Dalvin Cook and Aaron Jones were two of the better backs last year.
They shut down Saquon who runs behind a crappy offensive line.
Offense should be the priority? That's insane. All of our money is on OFFENSE. Tell the coaches to figure some things out. They improved the offense by getting a actual head coach.
Hilarious you accuse me of "Nitpicking single games" but a sentence later do the same EXACT Thing about the offense lol.
Cook averaged 3.7 ypc lol
Per the bolded...that is my exact point. It is what you're doing with the defense. It's stupid. Sorry it's over your head.

You're right....but his credit.....he had 1 carry for 59 yards........That first game they didn't shut down Barkley, 11 carries for 120 and don't remember his passing yards.
Quit box score watching......
183 total yards...........but tell me how the run defense was fine and its going "over my head" lol.

I vaguely remember the game. I thought Shurmur didn't give him enough touches for whatever reason. It was like he was saving him for something.
Just think if he would have had 20 plus carries.
Good news is "slow as hell Lee is back". Yaay
Richard wanted to kill that unit that game.
It was insane. The week before they faced the best rushing team in the league and dominated them. Then this game......they did that. You could argue they haven't been the same sense.
Wow, he looked even worse than I would have imagined. But it supports what I've been saying - that he is not an interior LB. He's just not instinctive enough to fill the correct gaps before the blockers can get to him, or physical enough to fight through the blocks when they do. He needs to be an outside LB.:09 to 1:12... watch Jaylon Smith. #CEV
I didn't say it was fine against Minnesota. You referenced Cook, who wasn't generally effective. YPA is a significantly better measure of overall effectiveness.
What's over your head is the comparison of the offense and the defense. You're picking two games, and saying run defense is the problem. I'm picking three games, and saying offense is the problem. It's the same logic, and it's stupid both times.
