Can't quite put my fingers on it but something is missing with both the guys. Last year they both were dominant in making plays over the field. This year, it's almost as if they are not reacting to as fast or decisively. Maybe I'm overreacting but if I didn't know better I would think they both lost a ton confidence from the Rams playoff loss and still recovering. Again maybe it's just me.......

DT's are chumps. Nothing to do with confidence. The RAMS showed the rest of the NFL the weakness of the Cowboys. OUr DT's. And a guy like Jalyon can get washed out easy on blocks.

They haven't been bad, but they haven't been great. I've noticed Jaylon more than LVE so far. The strip fumble was a nice play. Hopefully just a slow start for them

Not that difficult, teams are game planning for them.

LVE has played well overall IMO.

Jaylon has been outright bad; he has always struggled with breaking down and taking ball carriers straights, but now he’s doing this weird thing where leaves his feet and reaches for them as they run by. I’m not sure if he was responsible for causing that fumble in the red zone but he’s lucky because he was absolutely shook.

Pay attention to Jaylon when he’s being blocked, he gets washed way too easy.

My thoughts exactly. This team is in dire need of some nasty DT's.

our prolific offense is changing the way our defensive alignments and schemes are called. we're keeping receivers in front of us and just rushing with 4 linemen. we are challenging other teams to beat us as teams were doing to us before dak got on his hot streak. i'm not concerned.

Jerry needs to take them behind the wood shed and knock the snot out of them, and the entire defense, as well as the OL and their holding issues today.
