I mean why not try something different, get possible better usage out of our players

We have mazi/hankins/hopefully another big body coming soon this off season to play the NT

Have Lawerence, Micah as our pass rushing OLB's (i'm not sure how much coverage you're going to want either doing maybe more so micah) law can drop back and cover the flats IF he'd be willing to even make the switch

Fehoko/Osa as our DE's add bigger DE's for the 3-4 (just an idea for right now)

Find new ILB's

Make Sam williams a LB as well, try to get him on the field, this would be his last season to show something substantial

What else can we do, please give your thoughts

We'd have to get a stud nose guard, unfortunately, they don't grow on trees.

It’s probably where we’re heading if they hold on to McCarthy which is almost certain. If they do decide to hire a new coach I’m guessing it will be Kellen Moore as the most likely target and there’s no telling where it can go!

We are too light to play a 4-3 D

Let’s switch to a 3-4 D guys

Brilliant idea. And this isn’t for the OP - I’ve seen multiple people make this same suggestion. It makes zero sense

Lololol - these players you have playing these 3-4 position have no prayer

Not to mention, how often are teams in base D these days? 20% - what are we even talking about here- basically nothing

Won't matter. We had 3-4 in the past and it didn't lead to a championship.

I think it has more to do with building around Parsons, he's too small to play DE. Parsons is 245, ware 260 and people constantly said Ware was too small

We have no ILB... besides we already basically play a 3-Micah-2-5 or a 4-Micah-1-5

Stay away from moore. I think MM will be stripped of playcalling and we get a new DC, hoping one that brings in big players for the middle of the line. Solidify the trenches. Stop the run. Bring blitzes and play man. Get a solid OT and a good RB. If we had a running game for teams to worry about it would take pressure off Dak. Dak needs to spend all offseason reading defenses.

So we fire the current coordinator which i knew would happen (he'd be the scapegoat to go first)
