Bennett debut, led to 5 sacks by DL

[Praxit]

When was last time we got 5 sacks? Been a while I believe. How many double teams can offense dictate, without losing advantage?

This guy will be a force to contend with.

Week 4?

Assuming, of course, that we utilize him fully. And don’t fall into the JG conservative habit of going “Wow! This guy is really effective when we do this... better not use him like that again for... let’s say 3 games, yeah that will throw the other teams off!”

Ala Kellen Moore...

 

[Hawkeye19]

Yah... he is a disruptor that can wreak havoc from DE but more importantly— from inside. He is an upgrade from Crawford.

The defense has issues in the secondary— but things are starting to come together in a special way for the front 7

Putting J-Lew out there, X Woods improving, and Heath out will improve our secondary, at least to a certain degree.

.....I liked Crawford, but he was non-existent most of the time.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Hopefully he likes playing here so we can have him back next year.

 

[Carson]

It’s amazing the difference between Bennett and Crawford

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

Getting pressure with 4 is the key. A couple of those sacks required an extra rusher.

Bennett was good as expected, but DLaw finally looks like he is close to 100% and not protecting his surgically repaired shoulder like he was earlier in the season.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I believe we only had 1 sack against the Giants in week one with Eli at QB and without Quinn. And that sack was a 4th down Eli scramble where he fumbled.

Hard to sack Eli since he either goes fetal or throws the ball in 2 seconds so as not to take a hit.

.....I liked Crawford, but he was non-existent most of the time.

Crawford was stronger against the run, Bennett is stronger rushing the passer. Its just easier to notice the splash plays were Bennett gets pressure.

 

[Seven]

They moved him around which was very effective.

It's what they do with JJ and it works well. Like seeing that. Find that weakest link on their OL and keep coming.......

Here is an interesting bit of statistical analysis regarding Crawford.

He played in weeks 1,2,5, and 6.

Look at the opposing statistics from this season:

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/2019/gamelog/

This team and it's pass rush did markedly better with Crawford out of the lineup.

Sack numbers took, and have taken, a significant uptick when he has been out of the lineup. But yeah, let this team and everyone who covers it try to talk up Crawford, and "leadership" and "team captain" and whatever other crap they may try to cover for the fact that they're better off without him.

Thank goodness we are finally done with him.

Not until the day he is actually released we're not.

This team had every reason to cut his pay or cut him outright this offseason.

But what did they ultimately do?

No, because there was still over 3 million in dead cap if we cut him. Next season it's like nothing.

No, because there was still over 3 million in dead cap if we cut him. Next season it's like nothing.

And there was a cap savings of $6 million if they had cut him. Instead, the team chose to keep him around at a total cost of around $10 million with nothing to show for it. And now they're better by his subtraction and the stats clearly show it. Not that they would ever admit it, nor do I expect or need them to. I've got the facts.

Look I think he never even should have been resigned. I get what they wanted to do. But you have to understand this team doesn't care about actual talent. It's who they "like"
