Stephen wants to moneyball the defense. They don't pay anyone other than Jerry's kids and like to keep bringing in cheap rookies.

Exactly, and they're not "Jerry's Kids" they're called "Jerry's War Daddys". How one becomes a war daddy is unknown since talent and results on the field aren't prerequisites.

Easy on hammering our illustrious leader.

At some point you would think Jerry would realize he’s the problem but then again it’s been 25 years.

Cowboys front office always wants to appear like they are the wizards of drafting. But they are more like the Wizard of Oz. A fraud.

Thats the problem.

Now we lack pass rush and we don’t have a secondary that will hold up well with a good pass rush much less what we are about to trot out there.

Didn’t we have that problem before Tank got hurt? Am I missing something?

They did address the defense. Did you miss the draft and the free agent signings? Why post if you don't know what you are talking about?

12 defenders in 2 drafts isn't addressing the D? It was pretty much pure crap when Garrett left.

No it wasnt all they had to do was get bigger DT. Rod pick the wrong players and they let him.

I think Jerry is complete trash. So you'll get no argument from me on how we'd be better off if he could be replaced with a real front office.

But also: With Lawrence and Gregory and Gallimore out, we're without our 3 best d-linemen, no one else's plan for this scenario appreciably differs from our plan to litter the field with mediocre backup types and hope we survive.

Defense doesn't sell tickets like offense does

Address the d? It has been a joke. The signs and drafts on D lackluster approach

Gregory is a joke. Poured so much time in him and nothing to show.

Go look at our draft history past 12 years. We’ve spent as much draft capital on defense as offense. We just suck at drafting defensive players.

Walker · Sep 16, 2021

We sign people like D-law to top $$$ and doesn't play up to the contract thats the issue.

Our first 6 picks in the 2021 draft were defensive players
3 out of our first 4 picks in the 2020 draft were defensive players
Our first pick in the 2019 draft was a defensive player
Our first pick in the 2018 draft was a defensive player
Our first 3 picks in the 2017 draft were defensive players
In 2016 our 2nd pick was Jaylon Smith
In 2015 our 1st 2 picks were Byron Jones and Randy Gregory

Those are our last 7 drafts. Oh...we've addressed it....we are just not any good at it. That ultimately falls at the feet of the architect of the franchise.

You simply CANNOT miss as much as we do when you use premium picks on defense. A 1st round LBer should be a stud. You cannot afford to get 4th round production from a 1st round LBer. So the miss on Jaylon and LVE is HUGE. The miss on Taco Charlton (1st round pick) is HUGE. The miss on Trysten Hill (2nd round pick) is huge. The miss on Randy Gregory (2nd round pick) is huge. Most of these guys are gone or on the bench. NONE of them played/play any better than middle round draft picks. That is the problem!

The defense was playing against the best QB in the league and arguably the best offense in the league. What’s wrong with you people? Is it this entitlement thing with you guys again? “I want it now, I want it now, sniff, sniff”. Give the team a chance.

they constantly draft defensive players. they just do not draft good ones because they seemingly have no idea how to scout defense. Or they have a problem as an organization in playing defense, which scheme to play and then which players to draft to play in the scheme.

They pretty much always miss on defense and always hit on offensive players.
