how was defense was far better off with Rush.....how does the 29th rank offense, 27th scoring, and 28th in TOP help the defense?
So wait...you think the defense played better post Rush than with Rush? You don't think losing Anthony Brown and Jourdan Lewis hurt the defense?
What!!??? that's not what I said. you are the one who said the defense was better off with Rush!!!! with a worse offense the defense was better off!!!
He didn't say better off.. He said better.. Which they absolutely were. I think we can all agree the defense played 100 times better early in the season than late. Though to their credit I think they started to get their mojo back a little late in the season. And frankly I thought they were pretty good in the playoff games. All that said I don't think enough is made of the psychological impact of the team losing QB1 and knowing that they had to play out of their minds just to have a chance and then exhaling a bit when QB1 returned. It's only natural. The injuries just added to it but I think there was going to be a dropoff defensively when Dak came back regardless. Pros or not.. guys are human.
What are you even talking about? Where the hell did I say the defense was better off with Rush? You're a little spicy right now and I think its causing you to get confused between posts.
This is a joke. Cousins has had a few top 10 defenses with Zimmer. Even a top 3....my how ya'll forget lol.
Exactly....never said we were better off I was saying the complete opposite. Defense just was better. Not sure if it was injuries or what but they played better.
Anything that dude says about Dak is a joke. Here's the thing with these Dak haters that needs to be illuminated again. He has already far exceeded what their predictions were for him when he came to the Cowboys. He keeps making them look bad and they cannot forgive him for that. First he could pass for 300 yards.. Then he couldn't win a playoff game.. then he couldn't win without a dominant running game then he couldn't win without a top 5 receiving group.. then he couldn't win without a top 5 offensive line. When the Cowboys franchised him that was a signal that "The Cowboys were going to get rid of him and he'd be out of the league in two years. " They just can't stop themselves from predicting failure for this guy. The simple truth is that he has already succeeded far beyond their predictions and they just have to wear that egg on their faces .. They'll live..
They both need a lot of help on both sides. Dak had a top defense this season and last season, they also led the league in turnovers twice. It's obvious that's still not enough for either qb
Ya'll called me a "Dak hater" and "Eagles fan" for saying this last May:
It's not hating if you see things for what they are.
Dak clearly took a step back this year.. I don't know if it was his newfound aggressiveness or just the receiving group not being as good. Probably a combination of both. I always come back to the Cowboys (Kellen Moore) not tailoring the offense to Dak's strengths. Which baffles me because he had no trouble adapting his play sheet to account for Rush's weaknesses.. All he really needed to do was tweak that game plan a little and sprinkle in some Dak magic and this team might still be playing. That to me is the biggest reason why he needed to go.. Like so many of the talking heads have stated.. Moore has a bunch of plays.. but he doesn't have a scheme.. His play calling is too often a mish-mash of ideas rather than a concerted attack on a defense's weakness or a matchup that favors the Cowboys. I mean how many times did we see a defender giving our receiver a 10 yard cushion and instead of calling a quick pass and let the receiver work we ran a 10 yard route that ended up right next to where the DB was standing at the snap? That's where Dak has to take his game to the next level. HE has to see that and automatic to it rather than going ahead with the stupid 5 step drop and pass to where the DB is standing. HOPING the receiver fights through to the spot where he threw the ball.
ahh, ok, then that was my miss.
my apologies, I read better off. you said better. which they were better. thus it helped Rush.
Naw man you know i'm pro Dak through thick in thin. If I start talking like that just know someone stole my account lol. I'd NEVER hype up Rush. Hell they can draft his replacement for all I care.
All QBs do. That's what makes a very good team.
....but we been choking for years......during the TRomo years too.
