Surprising to see so few threads today calling out the defense

There are 2 too many, cooks, chiefs, generals, until we remove 1 there is no rating this defense. This could only happen in Jerryland.

Bill Billichick will anticipate all of these idiotic stunts and will scheme the perfect play calls against them. The ONLY thing Dallas can do is to not stunt at all in that game and that would be a HUGE improvement for this defense. It would catch Bill off guard. But we already know Marinelli will stunt on every freaking play just like he always does because he is a football IDIOT. Guys like him prove that just because people play the game doesn't mean they know what the heck they are talking about. For all of those ex players who think Marinelli is some sort of defensive guru.
Marinelli gets the most out of players and puts them in position to do very well but his scheme of stunting puts them right back out of position. Run a 4 man front with no stunts. Keep the LBs clean and let them make the tackles. We know that brady has no left tackle. He don’t trust him so he will be getting the ball out quick. I expect at least 2 roughing the passer calls. Leave this game on our LBs.. But give this D-Line a fighting chance so they don’t get eaten up...

Wade had those boys balling a few times.

I can't tell if it's Garrett's stubbornness or naivity that makes him bring in clowns like Ryan, Kiffin, and Marinelli.
Yeah Zimmer and Wade have put together some good defenses here. But would you say that in the last two decades we've had a defense that we could 100% lean on to win us a game?

You know the answer to this...Obviously NO. Marinelli is deceived and as such thinks more stunts are better. He has to go......
The rams Keyes on this and told everyone. They time the run to the stunts and have huge holes to run through. How does he not see this and not adjust. It’s just redonk...

At the risk of stating the obvious, that was a blow-out, of course, if not for the fact that the defense couldn't get off the field against a back-up QB and a pisspoor running game.

They suck and are underachievers..

Is that good enough???

I see stunts being poorly executed. It turns into a meeting in the A gap instead. I've seen plays where the stunters hitting A gap just stop fighting. This allows the QB to just step up in the pocket and evade or DEs. Stunting poorly and having LBs so far off the LOS just invites catastrophe. We get no push in the A gap consistent enough to have Data doubled and as a result our LBs pay.

The defense has sucked much of this season.

Well to be fair, it's only Monday. Win or lose, there is a 48 hour rule where you can only trash Garrett, Rod and or Jerry Jones. We will get around to others as the week progresses, patience grasshopper.

Many of us left our thoughts after game. Think people are rather resigned to it,and just don’t expect much to begin with. It’s at that level...

Honestly, there’s not much to say. It’s been a recurring issue since 2010.

Agree 100%. This is the game coaches must break tendencies. No stunts please.

Couldn't agree with you more. This team's problems are NOT on offense. We're moving the ball well (better than anyone in the NFL, according to the stats). We're scoring plenty of points.

Our problems are on defense.

The proportion of offense vs. defensive complaint threads on the forum somehow does not bear this out.

Zeke not rushing for more than 50 yds is a problem for our running game struggles.

they need to fire Marinelli ASAP.

we have to wait till the end of the season and hope.

6 more games of BBDB defense.
