Our Secondary/Defense against Bucs will be ugly

I cringe thinking about our young secondary and new Safety group having to go against the Bucs on the first week. Going against Brady, AB, Mike Evans, Godwin, and Gronk is scary for a veteran team but to have to face them in the first game many of the Cowboys will be playing together and with a new system for the first time is frightening.

I disagree with your assessment about 90%. The whole defense is going to step up starting with the DL. The defense will be most effective in a 4-3 front with Bohanna, Urban, Gallimore, & Hill pushing the middle of the pocket & keeping run plays to average gain.

D-Law, Anae & Gregory will be able to get consistent pressure on Brady with wide rushes, stunts & being just too darn quick & fast.

Matter of fact Anae is going to have four sacks in the season opener in which all of them switch position of the field in favor of Dak & the offense.


The LBs will be able to roam free with a stout DL allowing them to cover the flats & inside routes. The outside CBs will be able to play man & only one will require saftey help over the top for most of the game (Bossman Fat with 4.3speed!)

The extra safety will allow Quinn to double Gronk all of the time or cover RBs in dump off or go for blitz if he stays for protection.

This is why you beef up your defensive line. It negates the wr and te positions when you put the qb on his @$$!

If we had legal gambling here, I'd throw down lots on the Bucs to easily destroy this team. 0-1, on the way to 7-10. The Jones bogans and Big Mike are still running the show and dat won't get it done against Brady fo sho. We'll prob get a lot of photos of flash designer men's wear on the players though as if that counted for anything.
I think the key is to play the rookies to have a chance. They actually have something to prove.

Dlaw, Gregory, Parsons and Osa will be on Brady like white on rice.

Our safeties are better than given credit for, IF Kazee is healthy. Im assuming he passed his medical evaluations so I expect he will be ready and stay healthy like he has done throughout his career leading up to the injury. Wilson is a stud in the making.

The corners are a bigger concern, but we've got talent.

I do expect the defense to take time, but I dont think we see the same train wreck as last year.

You obviously didn't see the first half of the super bowl when Dan Quinn completely shutdown the Pats offense...I'd suggest you go and watch those two quarters. Don't bother with the rest of the game, I didn't even watch it. Just garbage time stats that don't matter.

Wait and see approach? Riiiight. Because the last 25 years has shown us nothing. Dallas fans don't get blasted for "whining". Our fans are cynical and for good reasons.

I know we hired a terrible DC whose defenses were not good and we did nothing to improve the defense personnel wise. It will be another season where if the offense is not scoring 30+, we aren't winning.

I will watch because sports is entertainment but our draft was really subpar and once again did zero in free agency.
