Which Cowboys defense do we see tonight? Its no secret the defense was a train wreck early with LVE and DBs out, but it improved when LVE returned and Poe was cut. Look at the last four games –
Eagles – Dallas holds beat up Eagles team to their lowest point total of the season, up to that game (similar to point totals afterward)
Steelers – Dallas holds the Steelers to their lowest point total of the season, up to that game. (last two games were lower playing Ravens and Commanders)
Vikings – Dallas holds Vikings to an average score, but 21 of the 28 points were in the second half. 14 were great plays by Theilan and Jefferson that would have scored on anyone and 7 were scored on our practice squad CB.
Commanders – Terrible game with Dallas defense allowing 34 points and another 7 scores on a pick six.
So which defense shows up tonight? The one that played the Steelers or the one that played Washington?
When you look at the Washington game the two late scores were because of horrible execution/coordination by the defense. But it was also a team playing on two days of practice because of the passing of Markus Paul and it being the Thanksgiving game. It wouldn’t be a surprise if you had breakdowns. Was the Washington game an anomaly or a reversion to the mean?
Dallas is going to lose tonight and it won’t be close. But I’m betting the defense looks more like the Steelers game than the Washington game. That is good news if the defense is even average for a team that will add two draft picks from the top 40 next year.
