That poor kid.. Jerry and nem built him up to be the next Charles Haley and there was no way he was living up to that. He did turn out to be a very solid player but the expectations placed upon him by the Cowboys at that time were ridiculous.
Yep. I remember in 94 at TC there was a hot mic moment when Aikman was complaining about Jerry talking up Carver as a future all pro. Carver got a bad rap due to Jerry’s ego and wanting to prove he could draft without Jimmy. But in Carver’s defense he was stout against the run and we did play with him as a starter in December and through the playoffs. So we beat the Eagles and Brett Favre’s Packers in the NFCCG so Carver couldn’t have been that bad. He did exactly what we needed him to do and we won the Super Bowl. I think this is why I’m excited about Quinnen. I would rather have a dominant DT that can play the pass and the run as opposed to a dominant pass rusher that struggles against the run. Our history and recent Super Bowl history shows a dominant DT is better in the playoffs than a dominant pass rusher.
100% right there with you. Q-Dub is going to work wonders for this defense. Having him and Clark side by side with Thomas and Osa rotating in and with Wilson at middle backer we are suddenly stout up the middle. I can't remember the last time we could say that about a Cowboys defense. I still don't think it's enough to get this team to the playoffs. Though I don't think anybody sees the Panthers and Bears losses as some huge upsets anymore.. But they are still losses that will hurt in the standings and will probably keep us on the outside looking in come playoffs.
I think playoffs are unrealistic this year but next year I think we’ll be there.
No, it was dumb because it was factually incorrect and I easily disapproved it with the most basic of stats.
lol, okay genius. In your expert opinion what is factually wrong? I could care less if you disagree but to suggest a post is dumb? Because your stat is based on one game, and the Cowboys trade was for the future strength of the team?
With Cowherd it's the overhype.. GB has had a strong D as it is
Sure, but he has made them better. They give up fewer yards and points per game vs 2024.
Agreed...for GB, they should have traded those picks for OL instead of strengthening an already strong D
TJ Watt currently plays on the worst ranked pass defense in the league, no team is giving up more ypg than the Steelers and they are 5th worst overall in ypg.
You aren't suggesting that if you have TJ and Myles over for dinner, that you invite Micah as well, are you? If you can figure out why the Steelers D is so bad this year let their HC know, because he looks lost. And pleae, do NOT bring up Micah Parsons in the same breath as you do Myles Garrett
Micah was in the GB playoff game too and caught no heat. Film ain't lying.
