Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign DL Christian Covington

[Pessimist_cowboy]

His job isn’t to get pressure though. It’s to eat up space and blocks and stop the run.

Considering our defense got its crap pushed in by the rams running game. It’s a solid move.

Yeah tell JJ Watt that(who plays the same position)

According to walterfootball( if you care) 3 and a half stars excellent vs the run , 7th best DT in free agency only 25

JJ watt is a LDE for the texans.

Lol they are wrong. He plays all over the field, bu

The man's averaging nearly 2 sacks a year. I'd say he's got some interior rush moves.

Better give him 20/year for those moves.

this was the "on the bubble" guy for the Texans when they did hard knocks

Call it whatever you want but when you rush standing up your more OLB than DE. This reads like they run a 4-3 system but they run alot of 3-4 alignments. Maybe their base is 4-3?

So we signed a DT who excels versus the run. Which was a big need after getting exposed versus the Rams.

Yet people in here are complaining about his sack numbers because he's not the second coming of Aaron Donald.

he's been mainly a de for houston. crennell this past season has smartly moved him around inside and out and let him rush standing up to keep the other team on its feet. he's such a freak that he has the versatility to do whatever you want with him.

Good signing. Love that it pisses off the haters.

The Cowboys could sign a dead guy and you'd be commenting on how great of a move it is and raving about his ability to be low to the ground when rushing the QB.

 

[Risen Star]

Look it up. His real name is Christian Coral Cleveland Covington.

I think I've made my point.

The Covington signing is a direct result of DAL getting its *** kicked by LAR and IND in the run game. Covington helps strengthen their interior run defense. Play-style is more akin to a 1T, but can play 3T if need be.

Not anymore. It's whatever Rod says it is.

 

[kskboys]

One less than Sheldon Richardson and Suh, who many on here wanted. Sacks don't tell the whole story.

Suh was being played out of position. He's not a NT.

That's why I thought he was a LB.

 

[Doomsday101]

Covington should be better suited in the 4-3 instead of the 3-4 of Houston

 

[kskboys]

Our new lineman must not be very good then, getting outplayed by ends who never play tackle

Getting outplayed by JJ Watt isn't exactly a horrific thing!!!!!

 

[KingintheNorth]

We are getting all of the Chris Covington's!!!!!!!

 

[RamziD]

This is a good signing. One of the DTs I wanted them to pick up.

 

[ItzKelz]

Great pick up.

 

[KingintheNorth]

This one is kind of sneaky good. As long as they didn't get dumb with the numbers like they did with Cedric Thornton.

Agreed.
