P.S. why is it always the Dallas Defense choking in the playoffs ?
Dak is the best player on this team and is also the leader. Dudes comes up clutch in the biggest moments while improving his skill set on a yearly basis( Passing Yds, TD, completion% , playoffs wins , division wins etc ). The real issue was OC limiting Dak’s skill set with limited offensive play calling, but going forward shouldn’t be a issue.
Pay the man & win some SBs ala Russel Wilson /Brady
You know with Marinelli his defense is a total failure overall weather it’s getting gashed in secondary by Rodgers 2x or getting his speciality so called weak *** DL getting shredded by Rams running game he’s a total package for complete failure.
I recall Dez screwing up which gave the refs the chance to decide the game back in 2014.
The 2018 defense was very young with new starters at most positions.
The only starters that were full time starters at their position in previous years were:
DLaw LDE
M.Collins DT
New at position or as full time starter.
CB Byron Jones previously a Safety.
FS Woods played more at Nickel CB in 2017.
Heath played more FS in 2017 but SS in 2018.
CBs Awuzie/Brown not full time in 2017.
LB Jaylon Smith not full time starter in 2017.
LB Vander Esch was a Rookie.
DT Woods new and not an NFL starter previously.
RDE Crawford/Gregory/Taco
Crawford about 50/50 starting at DT/DE in 2018.
Gregory didn't play in 2017.
Taco not a starter in 2017.
The Rams showed some new things against the Cowboys. It would have been difficult to adjust anyway but with the lack of experienced players it was basically impossible.
The Patriots are great but the Rams showed their hand against the Cowboys which allowed the Pats to game plan against the Rams new wrinkles on offense. A simple defensive alignment change by the Pats screwed up the Rams precision run blocking.
