Article: The Dumbsday Defense

[Dave_in-NC]

No the Pats weren't full strenght but we aren't the Pats, we need to be full strenght to play with them, especially in the secondary with all their weapons.... A CB was the last thing we could be missing while facing Brady and his bunch.. I'd just like to play them with both teams at full strenght.. We'll see them again, IN THE SB. I truely believe that...

I think we have a great shot at it. I don't think it is going to be nearly as easy to get to AZ as the Cowboy Blind think though. The Giants are coming on and I still won't count out the Eagles and Skins.
We need to get better on defense and cure our slow offensive starts. We haven't done it in six weeks.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

some of you guys are so numb you cannot grasp how average we are on defense.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

I swear to hear these idiots talk, we lost to the Little Sisters of the Poor and not the all powerful, all knowing and all stupendous Patriots.

I mean either the Patriots are all the media says they are and we got beat by a better team OR, they are rotten and we lost to a bad team and we suck worse than they do.

One or the other guys, make up your minds.

What! The Dallas Observor has more than topless bar add's and bad resturant articals? WHO KNEW! :bang2:

 

[Doomsday101]

I don't think this defense is living up to what should be expected given the draft picks we have used on this unit. I'm not giving up on them and think things will improve but for now they have not lived up to the expectation and have shown themselfs as avg.

 

[PullMyFinger]

Hes somewhat right. Im kinda disappointed in the D also. I keep hearing. "Theyll get better when they learn the system". My question is "When will that be, when its too late?"

I would hope they will continue to learn and continue to work hard so improvement can happen. When will the light come on? who knows but I do think this unit will improve

 

[Wrangler87]

It's hard to argue with this guys story. Sadly enough.

After 6 games
2006:
Record: 3-3
Sacks: 12
INTs: 6

2007:
Record: 5-1
Sacks: 15
INTs: 10


If this is bad...I'm ok with it. Plus, they will be getting guys back so it can get better.

The numbers are better and I think they are playing better than before but to be a championship team this defense will need to do more.

Maybe not the worst ever but the guy has a point.

Hell I was embarrassed for our defense last Sunday. Any Cowboy fan would be. That was downright shameful.

When offense has many three and outs, no defense can be effective in a long run, as evidenced by 4th quarter collapse. Yes, defense didn't get the job done but offense wasn't all that great either.

Dear Richie Whitt,

Due to the magnitude of your stupidity and high volume of asinine points you have brought up in this "article", I will all go ahead and assume that you indeed have a very small "unit" and are currently suffering from a rather severe case of little man's syndrome. You will likely be taking questions from a middle school newspaper application in Anchorage, Alaska after Dallas ends up winning the NFC and you are let go for failure to know anything about organized athletics.

Sincerely,

Your Daddy, HH31

P.S. I hear Cialis works wonders

Credibility lost with that asinine statement.Eva is most definitely not overrated!

 

[Zman5]

To borrow from Parcells "You are what your record says you are"

We are 5-1 and the defense is ranked 11th overall. Not the best but not too bad either.

 

[YosemiteSam]

You can rant all you want about what he says, but like Parcells said. You are what you are. The Cowboys have gotten eaten alive against teams that can actually throw the ball. They've had six games to *fix* that issues and obviously have not done so.

Secondly, they have also had several games to *fix* their disparagingly slow starting offense and have also failed to do that.

Patrick Crayton was talking *if* the Patriots make it back to the Superbowl. FYI Patrick, YOU won't make it back to the Superbowl if the Cowboys don't clean up their short comings.

I find myself looking through the Cowboys goggles at times too, but when it's all over. Those googles aren't going to help the Cowboys win it all. Only fixing their obvious problems will.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I guess Richie Whitt got some bad popcorn.

The numbers are better and I think they are playing better than before but to be a championship team this defense will need to do more.

And we have to remember, this is their 1st season (and 6th game) under Wades 3-4 scheme (which differs from Parcells' 3-4). I think the players have adjusted well and are doing their best despite key injuries and a new system.

I agree. There is still a ways to go before this season is done and I expect that these guys will get better as we move forward. Not all is bad on the defense but they have to be more consistent in their play and have to cut down on the mental breakdowns and unforced errors.

 

[Kangaroo]

Same personal same results from teams with a QB. So far the schedule this year has been easier than last year.

Think about it we have the same defense with what is suppose to be an upgrade in Hamlin and Spencer and the 2 winning teams have put up 40 on the defense at home

The guy makes very valid points people just want to rip him because it hurts
