My thoughts exactly. Zimmer’s consistently had good defenses. Tough, disciplined. Exactly what the Cowboys defensive podcasters need. Someone to get on their ***. He’s going to do that.
Stick to playing Madden.
No, it isn't.
No that’s the ceiling with that team. Weakest team up the middle I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot.
Dak delivered against .500+ record opponents in 2023:
So it's Zim > DQ. We'll see in Sept. Zim will have a much better LB corp. Not sure about DT's. But if they can slow down the run in big games, it's a huge improvement.
I would be surprised. But I would welcome it.
Not really.
Same stuff during regular season too. The difference is playoffs show us real quick who the contenders and pretenders are.
We were favored to win all of those games. At Philly, at San Francisco, and at Buffalo were huge games. You can't put them in the same category as playing at home against Seattle and Detroit. Those are the games that let you know if you're a contender or not. We were embarrassed in two of them, and choked away the Eagles game. The only time we actually beat true contenders was back in 2016 when we had a great running game.
Ok, glad you brought up the away game at Philly. Why did we lose it? It certainly wasn't because of Dak. Here, take a look...
True. Yet, once again, with no run game and a struggling Defense. It's very hard to beat the better teams in this league when they know you are limited with weapons and a defense that can't stop the run and at times the pass.
I know. But can we win one of those games? Why don't we ever surprise a good team? Like the Ravens did to the 49ers. That Eagles loss made me madder than the loss to the Cardinals. From the foot out of bounds, the TE misfortune at the GL, to the final 2 drives. We got 6 points on those 4 drives.
This year is going to be interesting.
