1 sack in two games

[Wayne02]

Against two teams with their best offensive lineman (left tackle) not playing. Can't win that way. I saw someone bring up Tyrone Crawford earlier, the guy is a ghost out there, I actually forgot he was on the team. Where is Gregory? I haven't heard from him since week 1. Where is Lawrence? Where is Mincey? Where is anyone outside of Hardy that can cause disruption on the defensive line?

 

[CowboyStar88]

I do like Irving and his raw talent. I think this guy can be a player for this team he was everywhere last night

does this go on miranelli? is it time to move on?

Crawford turning into another guy who took the money and ran.

Even more telling is no sacks in the 4th qtr... Usually money time in close games.... Gone are the days of the " game ending" sack or int

 

[links18]

The opposing QB is getting rid of the ball on short pick plays that go for 25-35 yards. We have answer for it.

 

[jwitten82]

Our starters on the dline besides Hardy have a combined 3 whole sacks.

I was angry when I saw his contract from the beginning. He has done nothing to get paid 9 million a year with that amount of money guaranteed. Irving looks like more a player than this guy.

Marinelli doesn't like to blitz and Henderson likes to play off receivers, it's hard to get sacks when you play that way.

We have to be the most vanilla defense in the NFL. I watch most of the Steelers games and they have a new DC and they are so far ahead of us as far as game planning and aggressive play. Yes they have their issues at safety as well, but they make plays and they force the action.

We need one stop to win the last two weeks and we do nothing to mix it up at all. Really sad when you watch how other teams play. I honestly wouldn't blame the players (both offense and defense) for giving up on these pathetic coaches who do nothing to put them in position to succeed.

see im with you. to me the problem is coaching. we need to shake it up on both sides. this aint working.

When I brought up the question, why in the world would we sign Crawford now instead of waiting till the end of the season. I was told that he would be cheaper now then wait till he goes on the open market. Wow he ran all the way to the bank laughing. This whole DL is a joke when you can't even get pressure on two lousy OLines the past two weeks.

Yes, Sir......He is took the money and RAN........ Winning on the field doesnt matter....when you bank account is WINNING more then the team.

Crawford is a WORTHLESS

 

[AlterEgo]

I need to go back and see the time of possession. The defense looked gassed but I thought the Cowboys offense did a fairly good job of staying on the field to keep their D fresh. I must be wrong though because it was almost like this team had no training camp to get in shape.

Eh, I don't think he did it maliciously. He just was not that good and it is showing now.

 

[perrykemp]

So far in his career Crawford has averaged 1 sacks every 8 games (5 sacks in 39 games played).

Folks who dig into the All-22 indicate he is very productive in terms of QB pressure outside of the sacks.

The 5y/$45M ($9m/year) commitment to the guy is a bit concerning at this stage. I had assumed with the return of Hardy and McClain guys like Crawford would have been able to realize their full potential. I haven't seen it yet.

Perhaps Rod needs to give him a new Marinelli name.

Carr threw for 300 yds and 4 TDs, they ran for 139 yards.
Bradford 295 yds and 1 TD, they ran for 172 yards. (With an extra OT period)

Whats the difference? Don't see it.

Time of possession: 25:42 to 38:19 for Dallas. Our Defense is gassed but their's looked fresh

Just to remind people:

Irving, when he plays, is that lined up right next to Hardy..
