The Cowboys use a similar defense as Seattle, which just advanced to the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Speed up the process please.

Seriously, we get some healthy bodies back and upgrade the talent so we can be average next year and folks will be impressed.

Just being average this year and we would have been a playoff team and could have even won a playoff game.

I swear he looks exactly like some actor. I want to say Gene Hackman but I know that is not who I am picturing in my mind. Have thought that for almost a year and can't pinpoint it :(

Lloyd Bridges?

We could possibly improve a great deal if the Health gods could smile at us a little.......Vince Lombardi would not have been successful with the group we had on D last year. I know no one wants to hear than but it was not MK's fault that the D was so poor. Let's get real here.

It would take an incredibly focused offseason where we identify the defense, specifically the line as a problem and pull out the stops to address it.

Given our track record drafting, I would not bet on it.

This kind of posting makes me think people on this forum dont even read anything except threads that look like they can contain things to bash Jerry and the coaches. If u read this forum there are a boat load of threads on what Dallas is looking at right now. McClay spent the day looking at 4 guys Donald, Hageman, Murphy, Martin. If 3 of them are the first 3 picks of the draft this is a great thing for this team.

He wants to run something similar to Seattle but we don't have their DL esp the DTs. I think their DBs are as important though. They come up and tackle as well as cover well. So we're a ways away from that D but they don't have our offense either. We have to find people who can stay healthy and play well.

It almost physically impossible to be any worse. Unless the NFL were to implement a rule to limit first downs to 30 and passing yards to to 350, how the heck could we not get better? Oh, Roger could decide to make quarters be 12 mins instead if 15....

Oh, come on. If it makes you and others happy to continue to drone on with this nonsensical and illogical rhetoric be my guest. It's old and wearisome.

Practically a historically bad defense and he guarantees improvement.

Way to put yourself out on a limb, Monte.

I was thinking the same, the only way we're worse is if they expand the league.

It'll take more than a little and less than a lot. IF some can stay healthy and we add the right people then perhaps we can get middlin' or better.

He refused to implement more man defense which is the cornerstone of the Seattle D? Sherman doesn't pass off his WR to some noob just learning zone concepts (Wilcox, Heath, even Church) Both D's rely on the front 4 for pressure and minimal blitzing but are not the same D. We begged for our CBs to play more press man during the gouging but we saw the zone D give us 40 1st downs, 3rd worst D in NFL history, etc. Way to cling on to another team's success to whitewash your past seasons embarrassment...

I think that more then anything Dallas needs, health. If they can keep the core on def healthy they can win games. And if they can just get a little depth they are a playoff team. Cowboys never make it easy, but they make it entertaining. and i love that. I never get bored with this team.

I just wish they gave it to Rod without Monte's presence being needed. I figured that was worst case scenario...I learn slow.
