Cowboys D is a Fraud

[Portnoy1]

I'm fascinated by the fact that the Titans didn't run the ball very well, but still continued to run Henry. I believe he had 26 rushes for 89 yards. Not great but it protected a lead and gave them big play action opportunities for Tannehill to hit. That also allowed them to bleed the clock and have less of the Packers run game to defend. What's crazy is that the game really never felt in doubt in the second half. They simply let the Packers bleed out but kept punching them in the face with 3 yard runs. Titans don't have our pass rush but just imagine if we played disciplined against the run for 3 Quarters and our offense continued to run the ball regardless of yards. By the time the middle /end of the 4th came Rodgers can no longer play action, he just has to sit back and face the rush.

Play good defense and pound the rock with a power back has been working for them for years. We may need to replace Kellen Moore with Scott Linehan. Linehan did orchestrate our 13-3 finish in 2016 using a similar formula.

linehan stuck with the run in 2014, the seattle game I still have, on one drive it was mostly
all handing off to murray, who popped a 24 yd run at end for a td!

he did good in 2014 with elliot.
In playoffs I think the garrett effect hurt them, and wound up playing rodgers and GB both
times.
linehan was way better than kellen.

they have a OC who may understand how to utilize the run game, instead of just throwing in a
few runs here and there.

Tennessee is one tough football team. They are the AFC’s 49ers. The Cowboys defense has a fatal flaw in the run defense but we have the best pass rush. The Cowboys have to adjust.

We obviously are incapable of doing anything of the sort. We get gashed.

It’s funny bc whatever special unit the Cowboys have had over the past 25 years, it always ends up being that unit that fails us or disappoints us. This year we were sure the D was complete, now none of us question that they’re completely garbage.

Last year we felt the same about the offense.

As much as this team frustrates me. I believe we have the players to win the Super Bowl. Every team has weaknesses. We just saw what happened to the Eagles and Minnesota lucked up against Washington and Buffalo. No more excuses!!!!!

Superbowl? No. Just.........no.

Defense is all ite

This aged like milk.

Looks like they focused on stopping the run and getting to third down. As long as they can get to third down, doesn't matter the distance, This defense is relentless.

We'll see how they respond on Thursday though. Cause against mobile qb's they have struggled.

Slowing down arguably the best team in football on the road is impressive.

Want to think that over

Hey I’m thrilled with this game. Vikings didn’t run enough early amd got behind. Cook Is averaging 6 yards a carry. Hope they prove me wrong

Fantastic, what a performance. I’m still concerned about the ability to stop the run.

Only when deserved. Still have concerns. Pass rush is elite

Yep a fraud.

A quality defense would have shut them out.
