Cowboys are loaded with 3-4 OLB personnel yet they run a 4-3 scheme?

Don’t think Zim and Big Mike got a long.

Of course. Zimm knew what was needed and Mike and Jerry fought him on it. Zimm screamed for Tavondre Sweat, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Jerry just had to have him a project OLT(Guyton).

As usual, it's not so much who we take as it's who we pass on.

We have no NT.

I really don’t think Eberflus wants to play run only DT’s, but rather two under tackles within the interior. Problem is they cannot hold up against the run and have to play more of a 1T in obvious run situations

Correct.

Playing 2 UT's has been tried several times and has never worked.

 

[CCBoy]

No.

We all know what the downfall of the 2025 Cowboys will be.

In Texas. cook outs improve over time.

The staff on defense was brought in for the current status and changes. Let them have their chance before issuing your failure analysis. Your negative judgement is wrong now and just prejudiced. Give them their chance if you claim to be a fan...3-12 win seasons prior to this team being put together.

They can have their chance, but I would like a winning formula adopted. This defensive philosophy will not be it in my opinion.

 

[DuncanIso]

And with Rob Ryan.

Yup.

Didn’t work out for us.

3-4 versus 4-3 is a decade out of date.

teams run 3-3-5 or 4-2-5 nickels and then either walk up the 4th edge rusher or blitz an interior guy.
because Micah is so good as a pass rusher DAL has played it pretty much straight 4-2-5 and rushed him every snap.

It is more common to see 1 LB than 3 in today's game.

You can run 3 down linemen in either even odd or even a mix.

Well hey when you have to cut your HOF LT, where else to look for the replacement than the first round of the draft?

They are all ready to play immediately and are cheap.
