Played fairly well???
I’m an avid Jethro critic but the defense wasn’t as horrid as we saw against NY.
Number 11 is missing
I think his problems mostly had to do with the zone coverage, but he has said that he needed to ramp up after his recovery, so it's quite possible that he's not where he needs to be yet. Our problem is that we have little choice but to play him as much as he can possibly handle.
Get rid of Eberflus and his zone coverage crap. Zone coverage has hurt the defense every year for the past 10 years.
I got no problems with how Dak has played so far. Think AC is just upset that I felt it ridiculous that he got moved up 3 spots on the NFL.COM QB Index, after a loss. You don't have to be a top 10 Quarterback to keep the cowboys afloat. The bigger issue got exposed in our win against the Gnats, which is the secondary and lack of pass rush.
Why was Clowney available?
You don’t think we are hurting in personnel as well. Bland out and Diggs obviously not full recovered . Not to mention weakness at LB and Parsons gone with no real pass rush. Those all take a toll .
I don't need your respect. Dak played well. Aubrey been our MVP.
Our defense is our biggest problem. Regardless what you think of Dak he’s why we have been in these games.
Because no one was offering him the money he was seeking? I don't know. I'm sure a lot of teams wouldn't mind having him for the right price, but that may not have been his price. I'm not saying he's anything great at this point, but just based on last season, he's good enough to be on an NFL roster.
I give the running game some of that credit. I'd give the receivers more but they've dropped too many passes for my taste.
It’s up to them to change my mind. Maybe 5 games from now I think different.
So what is his price no one else wanted to pay? Are we paying it??
And we currently have the healthy personnel to have man coverage?
We certainly can't play zone no matter what!
Don't know. Might have been $5 million and when he didn't get it, he settled for $3.5 million. He could have other similar offers and chose ours. He mentioned the opportunity to be in primetime and show what he can still do to the rest of the league, so maybe that's his motivation. I just hope it works out, but am not expecting much. He's definitely proven more than any of the other DEs we've got, but we don't know how worn down he is.
Wilson had like seven throws of 25 yards plus. That means he had all day to throw. Just crazy how bad we need to have an NFL level pass rush.
