Trash defense PFF style

atlantacowboy · Dec 10, 2020

And here are how your Cowboy defensive players stack up against their peers:

CB Awuzie : 80 out of 125
CB Lewis : 113 out of 125
CB Brown: 106 out of 125
S Thompson: 89th out of 90
S X Woods : 49th out of 90
LB Thomas : 66th out of 86
LB LVE 41st out of 86
LB Smith 44th out of 86
DL Gallimore : 99th out of 130
DL Hill 127th out of 130
DL Woods 86th out of 130
DL Crawford 113 out of 130
Edge rusher Smith 52 out of 108
Edge rusher Armstrong 89th out of 108
Edge Rusher DLAW 5th out of 108

As you can see, other than DLAW, we have a defense whose personnel ranges from JAG to "lucky to be in the NFL"..........most are near the very bottom of their position in the league. Can't win with this little talent regardless of scheme........or QB.

Worst defense I've ever seen

ScipioCowboy · Dec 10, 2020

So LVE, DLaw, and Aldon are the only players who rank in the top half at their positions? And with LVE and Aldon, it’s barely.

Awuzie, brown, lve, Smith, etc. I’m not saying any are destined for the hall of fame, but many players on this defense have performed significantly better in prior years.
When you have so many players take a step back you’ve got to look at the coaching staff.

Couple that with a terrible DC and your 32nd in D in the NFL...........

What were their PFFs last year at this time?

PFF does ratings twice, during the games and after the all-22 is released.

You may not like the ratings of the individual players, but the results speak for themselves.
This is a historically bad defense. These players suck. Pure and simple.

I'd be more worried about the rankings if they were all above average.

Sure, the defense sucks. But the way PFF does their ratings is a joke. They suck too, hence my joke.

And therein is the biggest problem. These guys have mailed it in. They are heartless and without pride as individuals. Regardless of the coaches or defensive scheme, the basic grade is based on winning your battle. Beating the guy in front of you. 80% of our defense needs to be replaced.

Yah, but its all Nolan's fault!!!! :lmao:

its D-law and the equivalent of dumpster diving for FA's on Defense. Only exception is we paid a few of these guys some $$

Your missing the boat if you really think that. LVE and Jaylon got exposed last year under Marinelli when the DT position really got bad. The secondary guys were always bad to average.

Trash players lucky to have a job on top of a horrible defense coordinator equals weekly laugh factory

Any LB is going to get exposed when the DT position is this bad...but even Jaylon last year was twice as good as what we have this season. Not saying much but he has gone from pro bowl to below average to train wreck.

Brooksey · Dec 10, 2020

Thompson 89/90 after a pick. That's how bad that guy is

His play has dropped off since he signed that big contract. Go watch film of him now. He routinely jogs behind the play, takes poor angles, makes token effort to get around blocks...... he tries to hide it behind enthusiasm and lots of on field celebrations, but we are stuck with his contract for at least another year.
