The LBs were awful tackling. Cook should have been stopped for 2-3 yards so many times just to end up with 6-7. That’s not scheme as much as players. It’s fundamentals of tackling that aren’t being taught or more importantly enforced.

Agreed.

It’s amazing last week a shut down another top back in Barkley. Yet, Cook looked like Earl Campbell.

It’s the scheme as well though. I have no doubt that our linebackers are a-s but sometimes they play them out of position when that’s an absolutely terrible idea. I don’t even know what to do with this defense. We need to spend that entire draft on defense next year.

The Cowboys’ way. They lineup and do the same thing every week. I think the lack of great DTs hurts the LBs as well.

Vikings weren't bothered by the Dline bursting through gaps cause Cook was already in the second level by then.

Their FB is actually a useful player and can block linebackers.

Our LBs whiffed too but Rod needs to go.

Fullback comparison ...

Olawale ... 3 years, 5.4 million. Non existent on offense

CJ Ham ... 1 year, 645,000. Dominant lead blocker

Another reason we continue to fail. Wasting roster and cap on useless players

His only talent is that he is a fast FB. That's all he offers. Even then his "talent" running or catching the ball is is maybe the 6th or 8th option on this team.

Can't block, and who the hell would gameplan touches for J-O when you have Cooper, Gallup, Cobb, Zeke, Pollard(AWOL), Witten and Jarwin on the team.

This is the main reason why the Cowboys will go nowhere.
