Yeah you're reading my mind. The state of the position is a disgrace and it's got Marinelli's fingerprints all over it. Don't forget the Colts also ran all over them late in the season last year.

We will need a couple of DTs but first that coordinator has got to go. Get his voice out of the ear of Frick and Frack.

LLLOOOLLL, love that last line.

I was in complete shock that we didn't.

We could’ve gotten Corey Liuget for a song and a dance.

Gerald McCoy......I mean is it better than what we have? Sure. But to me that's not addressing the position the way it needs to be. He's a veteran who's best years are behind him. In a make or break year as this team likes to say that's not how I address that position. Now Malik Jackson is a guy I can understand looking at. But I guess he ended up getting hurt anyway for the season..........

I would have rather they would gone after Gerald McCoy than draft a project who isn't even going to be playing much this year in the 2md round. They didn't even kick the tires or even give an offer to McCoy. How would they know if he's all washed up or not.

Snacks Harrison is big enough for 2 people.

Jackson was another I would have looked at.

This is where those big contracts become problematic when team isn't nailing the draft and needs to address a position in FA. Last two games (Giants & Rams) the starting DTs have gotten run off the field. In Rams game, Dallas allowed 5.7 avg yards per rushing attempt for total of 273 rushing yards. Against Giants, Dallas allowed 8.9 avg yards per rushing attempt for total of 151 rushing yards.

Trysten Hill was drafted in 2nd round to address this glaring weakness on DL. He was inactive for week 1. If he is inactive for week 2 its unreasonable to expect solid production from him this rookie year. This leaves Dallas with what I consider a semi-major problem - they have 2 back up DT playing as starters (Woods & Collins). Collins is in contract year and highly unlikely to get resigned. Its also time Dallas come to conclusion that Antwaun Woods is a feel good story but not starter.

How to fix this:

1) Move Tyrone Crawford inside permanently. This likely means increase in injury potential so not long term fix but might help Dallas get thru this season.

2) Trade Taco, Hyder & draft pick for DT who can rotate and is better than Joe Jackson inside.

3) Sign DT who has question marks on another teams practice squad. This is how they got David Irving.

Honestly I thought there was no way we would resign La'el Collins. Jerry has called Maliek a corner stone DT so it would not surprise me at all if we resigned him. If not I am not worried as we do a great job of finding DL talent.

Or Timmy Jernigan. The Eagles released him due to a big salary and then signed him back for a song. Meanwhile, we don't even think about cutting Crawford, who embarrasses of the field and on it. Costs us about $10 million this year and doesn't do anything well. Did nothing against the Giants and now has to be 'managed' during practices?

What.

A.

Joke.

Was that a joke?
:huh:

I can't believe how many arm chairs on here are already to label Hill a bust after one inactive game. SMH.

J-man · Sep 12, 2019

Trading one of a couple of our extra DE's for a big fat DT would be nice.

Absolutely. I'd look at bringing in a vet like McCoy and then draft another DT high in the draft. There might be some interesting vets out there besides McCoy like a Dareus or Brockers that you could bring in here on a short term deal that wouldn't hurt your cap.

It's amazing how many people just think we've done such a swell job at DT.

DT issues fall on one man - Marinelli. He has the ear of the Jones and McClay and they have build a defensive strategy around this belief that they can go fairly cheap at DT and Marinelli will turn it into awesome sauce.

The sooner they just force Marinelli into retirement, the sooner we can turn the page on this.

Right here^^^^^. The old man has got to be put down. He has been the defense's Linehan for years. He owns Taco and Hill. I'm not sure why Jerry values these old dogs opinions. Similar to that old guy who had Jerry's ear on drafting who Switzer fornicated his wife. What was that guy's name?

I am far more alarmed at his complete lack of any impact during the course of 4 PS games spent largely going up against other teams' back-ups, practice squads, and future fast-food line cooks.

Dallas might need 2 new starting DTs next year
