The worst DEs and LBs I’ve ever seen on a Cowboys team….ever.
Williams, Kneeland, Fowler, Houston, EZY…..not one of them can set the edge, and they seldom even beat 1-1 pass protection. Every single guy either doesn’t care to play gap control or is unaware of what gap control is or is simply unable to play their gaps because they aren’t strong enough. I think the book is out on our defense….double the DTs because our DEs won’t play their gap responsibilities anyway, or like Kneeland and Williams, will allow a WR to wash them out.

The LBs are not much better. They don’t seem to even know what’s going on around them, but what’s happening in front of them with these DEs may add to their confusion.

I’m so thankful that we traded Parsons….we need all the draft picks we can get to fix this garbage. Parsons simply covered for some issues against the bad teams where he feasted when we got leads and forced them to pass. But even he couldn’t help us against the good teams that ran roughshod over us every year. He simply lowered our draft picks in every round but never solved the defensive issues. I’ll just add that we probably miss our best run defender (DLaw) as much as we miss our best pass rusher (Parsons).

Do not trade any draft picks for any players. Instead, try to trade players for late round picks because we need all the picks we can get.

The only thing we should be talking about and betting on is who will put the first 50 burger on our defense.
I would rather get a Crosby than allow them a chance to draft another first round bust.
 
Babe is being dishonest.

There’s one common denominator to all of those games, and he purposely left it out.

SAME GM!!!
He left it out because that's the one thing that isn't different. It's one of those hidden messages, cryptic posts, unspoken truths, it goes without saying...
 
So what excuse do we get this time? We all know Dak is going to say "I have to be better", and Schotty is going to say "we need to look at the tape and learn from this". What does JJ and Eberflus say?
Dak says we more often than I in these situations. I'm waiting to see.
 
Maybe Lamb and Pickens can play corner and safety......
Can they rush the passer and stop the run too?

I'm "never" a blame the coach for the lack of execution guy, but the playcalling truly sucked in this game. It was almost like he decided to ride or die with the passing game. And then it was like, Hey coach, they lead the the league in sacks. Well then, let's call a lot of deep passes, they'll never expect it.
 
Just an ugly game all around. Eventually the offense had to have an off game and couldn't continue to carry this team.

I'm back to where I was after the Bears game that this team is far from being a competitor for a wild card spot. I also don't think they should use any draft capital at the trade deadline for a player likely to only be here this year.
Nobody is carrying anything. 3-3-1 before this game.
 
No scheme to get him involved.
We were too busy inviting in the pass rush waiting for someone to get open enough down field for Dak to throw to him. Just last week I was commenting on how Dak was finally taking advantage of the 1 on 1 matchups on the outside. This week he chickened out again.
 

Safety play has been and once again was REALLY bad. You need to read the QB and commit one way or another. 50/50 you might be right. Standing in the middle of the field while the receivers run past you is never going to get it right.
