Cody Alexander on Joey Porter Unlocking the Defense

[StarW]

Anyone who believes a defense should be built from the secondary forward is a tool and yes that includes CP if he actually believes this.

Look, we all know the defense was built around DTs and stopping the run, bro. It just hasn't panned out... or hasn't panned out, yet.

Every NFL secondary needs a #1 CB, and we didn't have one because Diggs flaked out. Now we do with JPJr.

Bland is best in the slot. We've got alpha males in Porter (CB), Downs (S), QW (DT), and Barham at MIKE.

I think the goal was to have a dog or 2 on all 3 levels. It's as smple as that.

If this defense sucks, it's on Parker 100%. But... Browns old DC is available for the 2027 season if that's the case.

That is very interesting -- most of the analysts said that Porter wouldn't fit in our system because it is zone heavy. However, having one side of the field covered in man while the rest of the field is in zone is going to reduce the area you have to deal with in zone -- that seems like it is going to make for fewer holes in the zone.

Im starting to think any analyst quoting zone heavy isnt worth listening to, because it describes literally every NFL defense now.

I think when Quinnen Williams is rushing gaps and pushing the pocket this defense is much better overall. Q is not a one technique it's not his game. What Dallas did last week against Derek Henry shows this front 7 is still finding their way and can improve. If Parker allows Big Q to play as a pocket collapsing rusher Dallas is a better defense, plain and simple.

That's what I'm hoping to see today, bro. Bullard was more impressive than I understood as well when he was on field. Can't wait for him to get healthy again.

The DTs did there jobs when Barham blew up the backfield on a couple plays. I'm hoping they're about to gel.

I'm down with the JPJ move more than most around here. It's so hard to find a boundary corner in the draft. We got a guy who ranks 3-20 for every major CB statistic and smokes anyone we've had in years.

Im not talking about this buddy
I have no quibble with what you said
Listen to the Cory video, he says CP believes defense should be built from the secondary forward
If that is what he truly believes then we have a huge problem

Yeah, I was basically agreeing with you and elaborating what we all know, but I see how my post came off.

Just not this week?

Solid post, I agree with the whole thing. I am posting post Texans game, Quinnen Williams was a beast all day and Gary and that front 7 came to play. As far as JPJ you have to aquire talent anyway you can ,good corners are hard to come by. Cee Dee Lamb had a hall of fame type performance 17 catches and the 17th the game winner. Dallas is 2-2 and right back in the NFC EAST race .

Okay, who is now our second best CB? Revel? Durant?

Yessir. Cowboys are back in the race. CD, Dak, and QW all had solid games. Flournoy and Pickens made plays. Q Williams is finally getting in the groove. Hopefully, we tighten up on pass coverage as we get some players back in the secondary. Run D is starting to gel a bit. T Smith is back soon, which will provide a nice boost on Offense. LFG!
