Jay Ratliff was our last good DT and he was undrafted. Our only hope is to yet lucky because we sure as heck can't find any.

Jay Ratliff left a curse on us when he left. He's probably why Jerry/Stephen thinks they can invest so little and find a gem

David Irving was surreal at times sucks he cousins get it together.

Mo Collins has had a good career hell he’s starring for the 49ers I believe. Osa is solid. Probably about it.

Even then people had a issue with Ratliff saying he was too small lol.

That 2009 defense was the last unit in Dallas that could bully the opponent at the line of scrimmage. Unfortunately they just ran into a buzzsaw in Minnesota. Then the wheels fell off in 2010. We've been a finesse defense since then.

 

[John813]

If going back to David Irving you forgot the boards favorite DE/DT in Tyrone Crawford. lol

God, Irving could of been one hell of a player and gotten a huge bag.

It's odd on how much the team focuses on the offensive line but ignores the DT spot.

They haven't ignored it. They just haven't been good on their selections.

Osa

Osa is far from a JAG.

 

[John813]

You're correct. Wrong word to use on that sentence.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Osa is far from a JAG.

What does he do? He doesnt stop the run. He doesnt get sacks.

 

[HungryLion]

What does he do? He doesnt stop the run. He doesnt get sacks.

He looks physically impressive though. Lol

 

[HungryLion]

It’s not fair Willie. I’ve been begging the cowboys to draft a DT high for years. For years.

They finally do and they draft a bust.



That being said. Mazi busting doesn’t mean the FO can just sit on their hands. They need to keep looking for more DT’s.

Drafting a bust just means the FO has to try even harder. Our FO doesn’t seem to get that. They just throw up their hands and said “well, we tried, we drafted Mazi. What more do you want us to do”

 

[Creeper]

I give Mazi one more year to either produce like an NFL tackle or I would get rid of him. No sense of keep dead wood around.

The need to do something at DT because no team can win in the NFL with DTs as bad as ours. That being said, we need safeties to be more active. The need to come up and support the run better instead of shying away from contact.

 

[cowboyec]

wish we had kept maliek collins.

david irving...what could've been.

Hankins was definitely a jag. Outside of Irvings one big year, our best was probably Collins when we actually played him at 3T

Our problem with Collins is that we couldn't find a way to play him and Irving together. When we played Irving, we tried to play Collins at 1T

 

[Wolfpack]

In the last 10 years, they have drafted 10 DTs.
1st Rd: 2
2nd Rd: none
3rd Rd: 3
4th Rd: None
5th Rd: 1
6th Rd. 1
7th Rd: 3

I don't believe any of them got a second contract. There should be 5 starters in that mix but they seem to struggle with the position.
