We have to get the the QB to win games. How many sacks do we have in the last 5 games? We just suck at getting to the qb. We cannot play the tampa 2 with no pressure.

It looked like we ran quite a bit of 3-4 today too. Interesting. This was one of the best games by our defense.

Its not even about just the sacks. There was a play where we blitzed Heath and Cousins had nothing and had to throw it away. I'm fine with that. There were times where they would blitz and still couldn't get there.

Cousins could have made himself a sandwich back there, on most plays.

This is so not true. We got plenty of pressure on Cousins today. No it wasn't relentless but he hit the ground a few times and had to hurry his throws a few times. Now if you want to say Romo had time tot make a sandwich on most plays.

They might as well play a 3-man line on passing downs. They are completely ineffective when blitzing.

idk no pressure vs foles and the eagles could be disaster. Too much team speed and too many guys that can make you miss.

you know, the defense actually played decently today. 23 points, and both touchdowns came after turnovers in our own territory. And of course the final drive.

Not dominant or anything, but all things considered pretty good.

They pressured Cousins enough to make him uncomfortable. That's the goal; sacks are the bonus.

That's why I didn't understand why they released Nevis. I thought he got good pressure when given the chance. Also did not notice Wynn today. But after watching Ware these last few games I don't think I would be so quick to get rid of Spencer

The rush was better than recent games, but I hope Kiffin/Marinelli can scheme something that works better against the Eagles next week. No pass rush has killed us and made the secondary look even worse.

whatever we did in the first game against them, repeat it.
