2007 Cowboys D: 3rd in sacks, 5th in QB rating, 6th in INTs...

[Chocolate Lab]

6th in rushing yards per game

6th in yards per play

7th in yards per pass attempt

Individually,

Ware finished 3rd in sacks

Ellis finished 6th in sacks

(Yes, two players in the top six in sacks!)

Anthony Henry finished 5th in interceptions


Very impressive for a team that for years struggled to pressure the passer and turn the ball over.

(If anyone is interested in a thread not about Parcells, Ireland, contracts, collapses, or impending doom.)

Wade Phillips sux.

Wade Phillips sux.

Should be fired, from what I hear.

Wade sucks! Send him to Miami! He's a puppet coach! The defense didn't improve at all! Okay, it barely improved! We can't pressure the QB! We should've stuck with Zimmer! Can we go back to the Cover 2?!? We need to overhaul the defense! We have the worst secondary in the league! We can't force turnovers! We're not aggressive enough! Good one play, bad the next!

That about covers it.

But they looked so bad the month of Dec!!! They can't be that good!!!!

 

[percyhoward]

There aren't many defenses better than this one, when it's at full strength.

 

[theebs]

very impressive.

The only thing left to prove is that they can be dominant and win a tight playoff game for us.

I think that is coming in two weeks.

If by chance Dallas blows out their opponent in two weeks, I can see the media headlines saying something like "well, they won. But can they win a close playoff game?"

Most of the interceptions are a result of the QB being heavily pressured or just poor throws, not many of our guys jump routes and make plays.

Or...

_________ was missing _________ which would have made a huge difference in the outcome of the game.

Very Impressive indeed...bring on the playoffs!!!
Go Dallas!!

 

[Achozen]

I think we'll have a real dominant D next season.

Another year under Wade and a healthy D will go a long way.

Wade won't be here next year unless he wins a playoff game.
