Dallas bottom feeding DTs

[atlantacowboy]

Since everybody wants to talk about Maliek here is his breakdown

Overall rank 46th

Pass rush grade 78
run defense grade 58

So, he's pretty good rushing the passer but sucks against the run.

 

[darthseinfeld]

We had 22 pro bowl players in mid August if I recall..........

We were already 19-0

I haven’t checked out PFF but I would like to know how low they have our linebackers graded this season. Jaylon looks like he’s suffering from drop foot again. The last two weeks every part of our defense has graded out an F in my book.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Can't expect this to change as long as we keep picking talentless guys with the claim that Marinelli is somehow going to coach them up to be great

Taco = cut / wasted 1st round pick

I love watching Taco shine at Miami. Starter. 12 tackles, more than any of our dlinemen.

That should be rubbed in Jerry's nose.

Has anyone bothered to show that to Rod Marinelli and ask him what happened?

 

[buybuydandavis]

Tristan Hill has been a bust so far,

"bust so far "

Not even half his rookie season. Premature to be throwing the bust label around.

Next draft if they dont get the closest thing to dexter Lawrence in the first they arent serious anout winning

Say the fans since 2010!!!!

LVE had one horrific game but grades out at overall mediocre 62.9.......good for 33rd overall at LB

Jaylon is in the same ballpark. He grades out at 59.2 putting him 45th in the NFL

Sean Lee is having his worst year as a pro. His grade is 54

The best of the bunch so far has been Joe Thomas at 69.7. As soon as he gets to 100 snaps, he'll be ranked somewhere around 20.

A smart team would have showcased Taco a few games and then traded him for a draft pick. But we aren't a smart team.

Definitely couldn’t have used McCoy. Everyone said he would be a wasted signing.

He’s been great this year.

This franchise’s refusal to really address the DT position is nauseating.

 

[kskboys]

Our LB's would be studs behind a good DLine.

We like our guys is the infamous attitude every off season. What that really means is that we just don't know anyone else.

 

[Tussinman]

Yeah this was a loaded DT class.

Malcom Brown, Johnathan Hankins, and Danny Shelton where all big sized DT's available for cheap. Even a slightly smaller DT like Magus Hunt would of been a nice upgrade. Hell even the mid tier DT's like Hendry Anderson and McCoy where good values as well.

There's like 8 or 9 DT's available this year for free agency but Front Office: "uh we like are guys even though we have 25 million dollars available and could easily sign all of them if we wanted,".

I mean F#$@ even cutting Crawford and saving 6 million could of gotten two of the players listed above..... (6 million buys you Danny Shelton and your choice of either Margus Hunt, Johnathan Hankins, or Malcom brown)

"bust so far "

Not even half his rookie season. Premature to be throwing the bust label around.

So far he has been a bust. He’s done absolutely nothing! When he makes the game day roster that’s an accomplishment.

Rod Marinelli has got to go.

You want to fix our DL? Get rid of him first. He’s the brains behind this idiotic cheap as hell approach to DTs.

Lee has only played something like 33% of the snaps this season. His lack of playing time is going to lower his grade.

 

[CF74]

We don’t have DT’s

 

[CowboyRoy]

Based on PFF grades, we have the worst performing starting DTs in the NFL. We are second worst as a group if you include the defensive rotations (100 plus snaps). (Phoenix is the worst as a group)

And yet we had moron Cowboy fans telling us all offseason how great they were.

So, he's pretty good rushing the passer but sucks against the run.

But isn't that the Rod Marinelli ideal candidate for a DT - to rush the passer from anywhere?
