Twitter: Cowboys first defense to lead the league in turnovers in consecutive years

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Defense played well with 33 take-a-ways. It's a shame Dak gave 15 of them back.

It's obvious this is a burner account. Not sure who yet. Mountaineer is that you?

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

I guess none technically, Special teams gets credit for the forced fumble in the redzone, but regardless defense was lights out that game.

Lights out? Lol I know people these days are changing definitions of words to fit their narrative, but against a nobody QB I wouldn't call that playing lights out. Bucs defense in their win in the SB against the Raiders, Ravens against the Giants, now they played lights out.

Haters and talking heads just don’t understand how good our defense really is. Most think Parsons is the reason why the defense is even average. Hope they continue to think that way while Williams, Clark, Tank, Armstrong continue to take heads.

A defense becomes great when it does great things. Turnovers are NICE but this D is not stopping teams when the game is on the line or shutting out teams with top O's which is how a great defense is defined.

Why though? Do yall really think coaches and players listen to these doorknobs in TV and go.. "durr we only have to worry about Parsons cause the guy on TV said so"

Fans are really wild. Players and coaches aren't stupid. But no one is going to game plan to stop any of the other guys when Parsons has the ability to single handlely blow a play up no matter where he is on the field. The bottom line is, that Parsons and Diggs are absolute game changers and you have to focus your game plan on stopping them and hoping the rest of the guys don't step up. The other guys have there opportunities because of the threat Parsons gives. Not because the knobheads on TV only talk about Parsons

Good points but I am sick of crap like the Eagles defense is going to be great because of the 4 Georgia guys they drafted in the last two seasons. None of them did anything in the pros but the Eagles defense will still be great with unknown safeties and linebackers.

Let's go for a 3rd

we must.

 

[khiladi]

Imagine if we had a QB that could capitalize regularly off the TOs and not just against bad teams….

The eagles won the division and went to a superbowl.

And there defense was a part of that. You want respect, the team needs to go out there and earn it by winning more in the playoffs

we haven't seen this years version yet. Lets hold off on the anointing oil.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

You guys talk about his 15 interceptions…..that’s actually the lowest amount to ever lead the league in picks. 15 is not that many but I grew up watching guys throw over 20 lol.

Yeah I grew up with with Jake Plummer in the division.


Good thing Quincy and Vinny didn’t play in the Twitter information era.

with the offense giving up two ints and goin 30% on 3rd down what else could they do? Not like the 49ers were some scrub offensive team, they had 9 points coming into the half, one TD given up. Sure its not the most dominant defensive performance in history, but it was way more than enough to win

 

[NotForLong]

No wonder we have gone back to back with 12 wins. . . Imagine if Dak had more help. . . poor Dak

Wow . . . another one who is clueless to the difference in the NFL of 20 or 30 years ago. . . amazing

The last two years didn’t tell you enough. This defense added Gilmore.

they bullied the bullies for a large portion of the game. wheels fell off after the miracle circus catch unfortunately.

 

[jblaze2004]

I remember the time before Dan Quinn when we couldn't even buy turnovers. It was sad.

we had times when we werent great.

 

[stilltheguru]

That's not the reason. We started getting turnovers in 2020 when diggs and Donovan started playing.

 

[baltcowboy]

we had times when we werent great.

When injuries happened to the corners, LVE and Hankins during the middle of the season. When the defense was healthy it was one of the best in football.
