Tomsula was always a highly regarded 3-4 D-Line coach with the 49ers. How does his firing make us more likely to run a 3 man line?
Unfortunately Dallas does not currently have the players to run a successful 4-3 or 3-4 defense. The dline is weak and LB corp questionable. To get the defense to a respectable level will take a multiple season complete rebuild while keeping in mind the unanswered question of signing Dak or not and an aging and injury riddled oline.
No, Not wasted. Whit limited off season ,Pre season and new coaching staff. What else did you expect? Now they know who worked and who didn't. No more excuses in 2021. they have had their pardon. The old coach in me is excited.
Plus, Jerry wants to win NOW. We have the triplets at WR, but we cant afford to keep all three for very long. We have a talented but aging OL, Zeke is fading.
Dallas will run a 4-2-5 like every other team in the league is doing. Nickel is 80% of snaps.
LB are questionable? They're a joke! Ones over the hill, the other a gimp, and other suffers from fragility.
Are we going back to the complete 3-4 scheme? Remember Dware played most of his HOF career in it. Could Randy Gregory have similar results?

If the Cowboys look in-house for a replacement, George Edwards spent the year as a senior defensive assistant. He was Zimmer's defensive coordinator from 2014 to 2019.
But the first question that must be answered is what type of scheme the Cowboys want to use. In Green Bay, McCarthy employed a 3-4 scheme for most of his tenure. If he wants to continue with the hybrid look Nolan attempted to use, adding players to fit the scheme will be an offseason priority. In all but three years of his time in Green Bay, the Packers used a 3-4 scheme.
Exactly. A new DC isn’t going to affect what’s out there 80% of the time. The days of 3-4 zone blitz all day except for 3rd and long are overThat’s primarily what we ran here with Nolan this season.
What do you do the 40% of the time when D Law is on the Sidelines? Why not incorporate a different look?
Does the board have a policy against linking to ESPN dirxflg?
