Cowboys vs Eagles Secondary

[CWR]

When a quarterback throws 54 passes in a game it’s always because his team is losing. Philly’s defense is still weak against the run, but the Pats were never in a position to exploit that. New England gets style points for their effort, though.

Even with Rodgers gone there's a good chance the Pats are the worst team in that division.

Ahem

James Bradberry is only okay

He allowed the lowest QB rating of any CB in the NFL last year.

Is that supposed to completely offset his previous, mediocre career spanning his first 6 years?

You’re clueless. As a rookie he graded out better than Jalen Ramsey, he was the #1 CB for NY and made a pro bowl. He’s been a very good CB his whole career

In today's pass happy 17 games NFL you can't just have two talented starters. Offenses are too sophisticated and will find a way to expose a secondary that doesn't have a capable squad. Teams should assume a one or two game absence from their starters in such a long season, not to mention, third and fourth receiver sets. The Cowboys will have four capable starters at CB with Diggs, Gilmore, Bland, and Lewis. There is also the new Cowboy Noah Igbinoghene, a former #1 pick. They are absolutely stacked at safety.

The Eagles are hoping that the defensive line will help make ther secondary look better. There is no doubt that the Cowboys D-line accomplishes that but their starting CB are talented by their own right with two of them being former All Pros

You are exactly right in your assessment of the Eagles. I feel like The Cowboys were in this situation last year with our number 2 Corner. Adding a Former Defensive Player of the Year at CB was a Major Coup

The Cowboys D Line is so fast and Nasty that some believe that the secondary is benefiting but I believe the opposite may true. Everyone is covered and there are no safety valves for opposing QB's

Dan Quinn is a Genius and McClay is the undisputed King in Acquiring talent. What they have built is the solution to the Problem facing Defenses in this modern NFL. . . . Of Course the Cowboys got the Hungry Lion who is molding this Pride

Did you watch the sounds from the sidelines? These young Players have so much respect and love for Gilmore

Been saying the eagles defense will regress as a whole. Yes they still have a top 5 Dline if not top 3, but they lost there best safety and outside of their top 3 corners, the quality of there corner depth is very suspect. Not to mention their LB group is absolutely horrible right now. It’s a pass happy league and Tight Ends play more like big receivers now. You need LBs that can cover.

The TE aspect will factor in all year. Minnesota will be a big test

You can never have too many. I sweet thing is we kept some talent and dumped off what didn't work out. Stacked in the backfield!

And they are some Hungry Dogs that fly around the ball

It's about time man, I've been whining about the defense since.... forever.

Maddox is pretty decent/good but Bland is likely better (and younger) in the slot.

Cowboys just have a better, deeper secondary....... at least right now. Who knows what can happen with injuries, etc.

We saw last season toward the postseason.

And they all showed up in the 1st game . . . It is going to be an exciting year

 

[Proof]

Wheres that poster who said Bradbury was better than diggs and gillmore? Too many cowards on this site like that Giants fan that was yapping nonstop the week before the game.

lol man, where is that guy?

Blankenship is underrated as hell! He’s a player

I think he’s out for the Vikings game.
