Dallas Cowboys Have The No. 1 Defense In The NFL

Thank you! Hardly anyone is talking about this guy, & all he's done is helped solidify a shaky secondary. These first two games, he's had several passes defended, & has tight coverage every time I watch him. At 6-1, 205, he's a prototypical corner. While I didn't like losing Moore, this guy looks tailor made to play in our defense. It would go a long way in allowing Byron Jones to focus on becoming a great FS, if White continues to dominate his man.

He grew and inch and a half since he was drafted.

He was 5'11-1/2", 206 at the combine but he is now listed at 6-1, 210.
 
All the preseason does is tell you where your depth is, how young players individually are doing, & maybe how your youth movement as a whole is. With our tackles looking better, especially at the 1-tech, & the improved pass rush from our first/second year players, it does give hope for the future.
 
I always take these silver linings from the preseason...

We maybe losing but we have show improvements in areas

LOL! Just going by our roster info. That is funny, though. All I know is that he's playing at a level that I've seen few of our corners play at for quite some time.

I think the guy who does the roster for the site just looks up their college listings when they pick up a guy off waivers.

Wait. So now preseason matters?

I am so confused.

It matters that guys like Gregory, Russell, Coleman, Patmon, White, Collins, Swaim, etc, show individually that they can play, yeah.

That the offense and ST have looked like crap, the team is 0-2 and the defense has given up fewer yards than anyone else, no, but that's not the point of the article, at least the way I read it. The way I read it, the guy is poking fun at folks who take preseason too seriously and are toeing the ledge over the team's offensive performance, all while ignoring THAT #1 COWBOYS D!

You may think this is a joke. It is not. Read on.

After two preseason games, the Dallas Cowboys lead all NFL defenses in yards allowed and passing yards allowed. You find that hard to believe? Here is the visual evidence, straight from the stats section of NFL.com:

Odds are, a significant part of the people reading this post right now are thinking, "No way, Jose, that's got to be a mistake. After all, didn't the Cowboys just get clobbered for the second straight preseason game?"

It is true that the Cowboys lost their first two games by a combined 40-13. It is also true that the Cowboys have the best defense in the league (as measured by yards allowed) and the best pass defense in the league (as measured by passing yards allowed).

Still finding that hard to believe? Let me walk you through it.

The Chargers passed for a total of 75 yards against the Cowboys a week ago. They were sacked three times for 11 combined yards, which leaves the Chargers with 64 net passing yards against the Cowboys.

The 49ers passed for just 71 yards last night. The Cowboys notched three sacks for a combined 21 yards, wich resulted in exactly 50 net passing yards for the 49ers.

Chargers for 64, 49ers for 50. That's 114 net passing yards over two games or 57 passing per game, the exact number NFL.com is showing for the Cowboys.

Please tell me you aren't trying to make that argument in preseason?
 
The fun dichotomy of the preseason: a thread like this gets shouted down, while the "omg I'm worried about our offense" threads when scrub OL and RBs are playing are the soup de jour.
