A DT like Malcolm Brown would do wonders

[quickccc]

How is the stat misleading? Show your work, if it goes against your narrative it doesn't mean its misleading.

And "the opponent ran for over 100 yards" is dumb metric to use. 25 out of 32 NFL teams last year AVERAGED giving up 100 yards or more rushing each game.

LOL .. oh so not only do you want me to show you “ narrative “ stats but you’ve already made up your mind that even if I do, you’re going to proclaim it as dumb because you’re determined not to
accept it - and that Rams playoff game was a dumb, misleading stat, too.. in fact there were already leaks and signs that our vaunted 6th best run defense in 2018 – and it all ended up
leading up to it’s dam-breaking conclusion.

1) at Carolina 147 yards (per cam newton RPO highlights) …. ON THE ROAD

2) at Seattle 113 yards ( per c. carson 102 yds)…. ON THE ROAD

3) at Washington 130 yds ( per A. Peterson’s 99 yds) ON THE ROAD

4) at Indy 178 ( per C. Mack’s 139 yds) …… ON THE ROAD

5) at NYG 143 (per barkley’s 107 yds) ….. ON THE ROAD

6) playoffs/ at LARams 273 yds ( per Gurley 115 , CJ Anderson 123yds ) … ON THE ROAD

but I'd be willing to bet someone,. somewhere, is going to be determined that it's dumb to use the metric’s of Packers Aaron Jones 107 yards and 4 rushing TDs as well ? .

The biggest problem on both sides of the ball is the lack of a true run stuffing DT.

Going to the Saints game, if the DT could have stopped the run then there would have been better field position and more time for the final drove.

yesterday, a good DT doesn’t allow Aaron Jones to score 4 TDs and keeps the game closer until the offense got things going in the 2nd half.

I have been the ultimate players matter more than coaches, but I will say the scheme that doesn’t believe in a true 1T stud is mind blowing.

We've been saying this for years, but the answer always is what do we armchair QBs know compared to professional coaches and their bosses?

I proclaim it dumb because its dumb. "Dallas is bad because they gave up 100 yards rushing in 6 of 18 games in a league where the average rushing yards per game is over 100 yards".

Dumb, dumb and really dumb.

We were 6th out of 32 teams in rushing yards allowed and your tantrum doesn't change that.

Seems to me like the interior DL is an issue and has been for a while. Why doesn't Jerry Jones, the GM, see this too? This emphasis on rushing the QB from the DE position is frustrating to me. We draft and draft DEs and LBs but no DTs. Then we wonder why the inside of the defense is soft.

Sadly, the Cowboys drafted a DT in the 2and round... but the wrong kind of DT.... thanks to Marinelli and his Tampa D philosophy.

while the issues with the questionable, inconsistent run defense, is not it's not just the interior DT, as the LB has been up and down at times too.
with this DL coach, and his player personnel preference and scheme philosophy, a Malcolm Brown may be an ill-fit here.
He's a 320+ pounder and his game works off power and is more of a stay at home run stuffer (one that you nickel-sub on obvious pass downs. ( just as if you would if you had a Snack Harrison, etc )

if you a Malcolm Brown, Snack Harrison run stuffer, and want to pattern your run defense after say the Saints run defense. then we have to change the DL coach .

Tantrum ? LOL. ..let's please try the decaff, can we ? If you're truly 5th in the league and a top run defense, your team is not surrendering those kind of yours on a cloudy day on the road,
and then it's bright shiny shutdown day at home, ..that's not consistency.
And that Colts and Rams at season's end of 2018, let us know how dumb our 5th ranked defense really was. ..

 

[Kaiser]

Tantrum ?

Its a tantrum when you still can't explain how their season average is misleading. Especially when you are potbanging the Rams game where we had a bunch of injuries playing a Super Bowl team. And the Colts game that was a trap game.

"Season average is misleading because I found two anomalies out of 18 games" is a very dumb argument.

They'll just double team Malcolm, turn their hips on our 3 tech who's most likely shooting the wrong gap and plant a guard and center on both our ILB's 5 yards downfield. It picks up like 7 yards a carry against the Marinelli run defense.

 

[JeffInDC]

And, honestly, I think the “fix” isn’t that hard. Antuan Woods has his moments, but I still look at him as a backup NT. This scheme is predicated ENTIRELY on the DL winning its particular roles. In this scheme, the NT/1T MUST FORCE DOUBLE TEAMS ON EVERY PLAY!!!!!!!! PERIOD. If this is NOT happening, the entire scheme doesn’t work. Why you ask? Well, if the 1T isn’t being doubled, the 3 other members of the line may be......and that goes against the mechanics of said scheme.

This scheme is designed to have a good to great 3T see CONSTANT 1-ON-1 matchups in order to create chaos as well as the DE’s seeing favorable matchups. When the 1T is drawing double teams, the line also doesn’t need to stunt as much. Right now, teams are taking advantage of all the stunts, games, and over pursuit that is being created by NOT having the proper pieces to run this scheme. Look at some of the really good 4-3 D’s in recent years like Carolina, Minnesota, NO, etc.....they were all similar in that they had a really good 1T next to whomever they lined up at the 3.

We have the personnel to do much better. The weakest link is scheme and Marinelli's inability to change some of what we do along the DL. Greenbay got our DT's to flow one way and cut back another by design all game long. We just never adjusted, at all.

I could go on with this on my side, but since we can't change ' tantrum' into a respectful adult exchange discussion ..we'll just have to agree to disagree, and leave it at that.

 

[Kaiser]

You can change the tantrum into a discussion by actually showing how a season average in the top 20% of the NFL is somehow misleading. Because answering with "Yeah what about the Rams???" is a tantrum and not a discussion.

 

[CF74]

Did we lose all 6 games last year or most of them in which we gave up over 100 yds rushing? Not including an elimination game of course, that one has been harped on too much...

 

[jay94]

Oh well I was told he was JAG here when he was on my FA wishlist in March.

That is pretty much every FA on this forum. And then that all our players are better then they actually are, but I guess that comes with the homerism. Our guys are so good that our former second receiver is no longer in the league.

That. plus the front office are idiots for drafting a DT in the 2nd instead of a safety, until we need more DTs and they are idiots for drafting a DT.

Or something, I get lost at times.

 

[Johnny23]

Sheldon Rankins returned against us. Him and Brown are very formidable in the middle of the defense.

We are pretty good at drafting, but when it comes to dlineman were not very good. It was widely seen as a big risk, I seen him as low as a 4th rounder. Since I have followed this team as an adult we have never cared about the 1 tech, the 3 yes.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Ask the one or ones that said that how is that working out now! I got the same response when I bought up snacks. I remember someone saying we can't get sacks now and you want a plugger to come in. Well at least Aaron Jones would not be headed to Canton after Sunday.

 

[Sarge]

Malcom Brown would be awesome...we could put Malcom in the middle.
