And according to what you type, you have no clue how defenses work in football.
I'll give you a hint. It's not just simple as committing more players to stop the run or pass.
The ultimate goal for the defense is limiting the opposing teams from scoring.
And another swing and a miss!!!!!

Nowhere did I advise committing more players. That is your idea. So, since it was your idea, looks like you are the clueless one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did we allow less than 20, or did they slow the game down because our O was so bad and our run D was so bad? You gotta look at the whole pic. There was no reason for them to do more. Our D didn't stop them.
I could be wrong but I don't recall them "slowing down" or slowing the game down. They moved the ball on us and got to the redzone and couldn't score. That's how I remember it but maybe i'm not remembering it correctly.

TB scored 19, but could have scored more if they had to it seems.....we will see this week how good the defense is without Kearse and a against a QB coming off a sub-par performance in his own right and a very talented WR.

Really?

It's not about options, and your facepalm is really weak, dude. Try something better.

Listen closely. If you cannot stop the run, then you must commit more players to stopping it. That's why we were giving up those passes. You speak as if the two are not related, when in fact they are hand in hand.

Is there another poster with "kskboys" handle? This deserves a :facepalm::facepalm:. LOL.

I think that's accurate.

However, it's not just this game. We've been losing in the playoffs consistently because we can't stop the run. Remember the Rams playoff game?

Uhoh, looks like I did say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apologies!!!

Once again, if you can't stop the run, the game is lost. No, it's not everything, you gotta stop the pass also, but our playoff losses come down to not stopping the run. Rams and SF being the latest two examples.

What does those games have to do with the game we played against TB? Different season, different teams, different players, different game. I guess that's too hard for you to understand.

You're clueless and now you are just trying to cover up by lying about what you said and bringing up games from other seasons that had nothing to do with game against the Bucs.

I find it interesting that LVE seems to have regressed in some respects since his rookie year.

Never was same player after neck injury.

Not quite Sean Lee instincts or playmaking but LVE has never been as fast, aggressive and as physical as his rook season.

I know the Cowboys gave up a lot of yards rushing last night. Was it scheme, ability, or something else?

The defense looked pretty decent against the run at times last night. Other times it looked like a sieve.

State your case as to the “why”. Thanks in advance.
NO OFFENSE, TOP way out of balance = defense on the field far too long, FIRST Game, not in full game shape, that was easy..

Miscues....

Playing Parsons in space early...he's more effective as a pass rusher.

Where was Barr? Thought he would get snaps

Same for Cox...inactive? Inexcusable

And why on God's earth do they keep trotting out Anthony Brown? Teams target him ...and he repeatedly gets burned.

Gilmore is on the verge of eating himself our if the league. Keep hearing breakout player...I keep seeing slow get off..lack of change of direction.

Sadly...our pass rush was pretty much non existing without Parsons...

Basham...another guy that brings nothing...progress stopper for Sam Williams.

Our 2nd round picks...on defense. Play them or cut them. We are past the point of ridiculous.


Was going to ask did Barr play! Per this board Brown is the man, I keep hearing.

Run defense still not good enough but you cant fix everything in one draft. LVE must have photos of someone doing something they shouldnt.

LVE played a pretty good game, even the doofus announcers noted that. He was pretty tentative last year after the neck surgery but he's more agressive and is always around the ball.

But that's fine, when he is released and plays for another team and wins a ring (like Ware) I'll be happy for him.

Seems like the only players most here think well of is Pollard and Parsons, everybody else is/was crap - LVE, Lawrence, Dak, Zeke, Cooper, L. Collins, Schultz, Witten (in his later years) and on and on. Guess Cowboys "fans" just love to complain....
