31 sacks since Wade took over

[theogt]

In the seven games since Wade took over calling the defense, we have 31 sacks. Over 16 games, that'd be 71 sacks.

Unreal.

Why wouldn't Wade coach the defense from the start? Doesn't make since since that's what he was brought here to do. But his defenses have been hellatious since he took over.

yes it is, outstanding job by the defense

 

[Roughneck]

Keep it up baby. Want Flacco to be real comfortable with the Texas Stadium turf next Sunday.

Unreal.

What are we going to do next year? It's obvious he needs to be our DC, but if he's here in any capacity besides being the head coach I think it becomes yet another distraction.

 

[Rack]

Not only is the freakin' awesome, but it's unreal that 71 sacks wouldn't be the record.


Close enough for me though.

We lead the NFL in QB sacks by 6 after tonight.

Love it.

Ware took the lead in the NFL. DPOY.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Wow. 8 sacks tonight. 19 on the season for Ware. Wow.

How on earth can anyone even ask this question?

Wade Phillips = head coach of the Dallas Cowboys

Unreal.

The Cowboys have a lot of near sacks and a lot of general pressure too that has really helped out our secondary.

I saw that 46 defense at least once tonight.

I've been wishing and hoping for a stout pass rush for years. It's finally here. The Dallas Cowboys have a great pass rush!

Yes! My sentiments exactly. I've been waiting for a ferocious pass rush for years too. (great job wade!)

I'm telling you, if our D keeps playing like this and Romo stays steady, we could do some real damage this year.

Apparently I miscounted, as a graphic was posted on NFLN.

In the last seven games:

16.1 PPG (would be 4th in league)
268.3 YPG (would be 3rd in league)
33 Sacks
13 Takeways

That'd average out to 75 sacks in a season.

The only one of those numbers that isn't eye-popping is the TOs, but I think we have been real close and a bit snakebitten in that regard lately. I do think they are about to come, though.

I also think the ppg looks worse than it really is because of offensive TOs, poor STs, one demoralized game against the Giants with BJ at QB and two garbage TDs given up to SF.

Wade Phillips and the defense are in a freakin' zone right now... He's really dialing it up!

and thats skewed by one bad half vs the Giants.

This is the best defense in football right now.

If you averaged 13 takeaways over 14 games, it'd be #1 in the league in takeaways.

Slightly under 2 a game doesn't seem that extaordinary but I'll take your word for it.
