An Elite defense with Dak could be enough

[Diehardblues]

Another homer who didn’t watch the game, 23 points 0 in the 4th quarter gave the ball back twice with less than 2:15 to play and what did the #1 O do, nothing, you should be ashamed to post like you do, that 4.6 yards per reception average was impressive along with the 17 points.

Amazing that we will blame our QB for not pulling out a miraculous comeback with 2:00 minutes left when we were dominated in the game.

Dak was the only reason we had a shot to pull out a game we had no business winning.

Stopping the run has to be camp priority number 1.
We can all argue until the cows come home over better ways to improve this team, but until the Dallas Cowboys can stop an opponent's running game, we will remain who we are, who we have been.

Yep, the same way we were dominated in 2018 playoff loss to Rams.

If you can’t stop the run in playoffs you’re dead meat. And that doesn’t even include no pass rushing sacks.

So lets bring up that game and how the Rams were without their starting RB and they pick up a street FA just one week prior to the game, the Denver RB, refresh me... lol]\
CJ Anderson,, there we go.
Talk about getting B slapped.

Especially in the playoffs as good teams will pour salt in a wound.

Its been this defenses biggest weakness.
Questions that are relevant..
Can the young investment on interior DL step up.
Can the back seven be so dominant that they can cover up the deficiencies in front of them.
Thats my main question and point of emphasis regarding this defense, Q has fast tracked, and it is never easy building from nothing on the inside.
He has been given what he has been given, but he has some possible nice chemistry possibly coming together.
I like how this defense is establishing team leaders like Parsons, he deserves to talk the talk, cause he can walk the walk.
That get peeps attention really quick when it comes to being accountable, knowing and understanding your assignments, because if your not paying attention then it can interrupt
the potental big play.
When players know that they have a supporting cast and uber studs like Parson level playing off their shoulder, they start paying attention quickly.

You may be misremembering a bit here. Gurley played that game.. Anderson was just brought in as insurance because Gurley was banged up and it turned out he had some gas left in the tank. But he was not picked up off the street for that game. He had started for them the last two games of that season and averaged ~150 yards per game and 7 yards per carry for them. Ironically Anderson hit the wall the following week and was toast the rest of the playoffs.

Now your going to make me go back and look, if so my memory was indeed foggy that day.

 

[kskboys]

I read here the d stinks, 23 points gave up, 7 of those due to Daks int, 0 points in the 4th quarter and the # 1 O could only muster 17 and a putrid 4.6 yards passing average but it’s the D that lost the game, you can’t make up stuff like this, let’s throw stuff at the refs it’s the right thing to do. Lmao.

D gave up 169 yds rushing. And it wasn't at least partially on the D.

You are correct, you can't make this stuff up. How in the world did you miss that, BTW?

Anderson ran 23 times for 123 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead the Rams to a 30-22 victory against the Dallas Cowboys.

4th quarter points is garbage time and don't count, right?

Never said that but a pattern does exist, no show for 3 quarters then hero time, you are happy with 17 points from the great O and the great effort Dak gave no problem. If I was you I would look at the last 2 and 1/2 minutes and get garbage time off your mind.

 

[Brax]

Thats a good point in reality the game was not close, if they would have just kept running the ball it would have been worse as we had no answer even in a stacked box. Absolutley the offense laid an egg and in all rights they were the "Strength of the team" and underperformed badly as a unit. That doesn't mean the defense put out a playoff winning effort when you give up over 5 yards a carry and 33 minutes TOP to a team you know has to run the ball on you. Again the game played out a certain way because of what happened, did you have faith that if by chance the offense got lucky and scored before half we were about to put the clamps on that running attack?

It was a hard fought game by both teams and points before the half would of helped. I have watched Cowboys games for 60 years and there was lot’s to blame D was passable O poor and the coaching terrible.

Amazing you look a come back that never happened and the O that was the unit dominated. As Dak being the only reason for the chance to pull it out it was the D that gave the ball back twice and Dak who made the bone head play that let the clock run out, so get it right revisionist history doesn’t wash here. You should watch the game again so you get it right.

Well your right about that on both accounts, and Dak didnt.
History will not change, Dak needs to start making some history.

23 points, if you were told the D would hold them to 23 you would of said the cowboys would win. As for the yards what’s more important points allowed or yards you should know that.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Wish this FO could hoodwink the Jaguars in a trade that sent Travis Etienne here for LVE str8 up,, just wanted to liven up the room a bit, they would want more.

And Dak for the Hansen brother while we are at it

I see you like swimming on the deep end.

 

[Flamma]

And Gurley ran for 115 yards on 16 carries.

It was horrible exploitation.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

If Eli Manning can win 2 championships with an elite defense, surely Dak could win 1 if we assemble an elite unit.

Your accounting of the game goes against most. Instead it sounds like a fan who waits for the QB to pull out games in the end.

Even if the time doesn’t run out on that last play you’d have one play left on the 25 yard line. Very unlikely you’d score a TD there.

Just amazing we expect our QB to pull a game out we had no business winning the way we were dominated.

 

[Diehardblues]

Actually Giants didn’t have an Elite defense. They had a great pass rush which disrupted QB on a run in the playoffs and against Brady twice. And Eli played his best on the bigger stages.
