Twitter: Dallas Defense Getting it Done

[Texas_Pete]

They say defense wins champions, right?



0 100 yard rushers allowed
0 100 yard receivers allowed
Mo is #1 rated CB
8th in total points allowed
11th total rushing yards allowed

Thoughts?

Talk to me after the GB game.

We haven't really faced a top notch offense that we will likely see come playoff time. Evne Cincy has been scuffling.

Thoughts, nope... hard to have thoughts when my mind is blown.

Sort of.

I watched the Giants' run game obliterate Dallas. I saw Cousins miss wide open receivers in what should have been a rout of the Cowboys. Then I watched the 49ers put up two touchdowns in a nanosecond to start that game before Gabbert finally remembered who he was.

I will agree it's getting better. Marinelli is a wizard.

Outperforming expectations so far and coming up with big plays when needed. Got to give them credit. Will get a better sense of their improvement the next few games.

Jordan Reed, ODB, AJ Green, DeSean Jackson ALL have the ability to torch us. We played them all. 0 100 yard games allowed. They didn't torch us.

I don't see how GB changes that. They might be one of the worst offenses we have faced if you go by their performance thus far.

Maybe our defensive pressure caused 3rd Cousins to get happy feet - leading to overthrows? I'll take it.

On the road, elite QB. Yes, they are struggling but they have more potential than any offense we've faced thus far.

I don't see Jordy Nelson torching us either, especially if AJ Green couldn't do it.

We never breathed on him. LOL

Good news to read about and I'm not taking away anything from the defense but the offense (running game) has allowed them to remain rested which is keeping them off field.

So far this is like 2014 again.

GB has been scuffing too, so why are they considered a top notch O and Cincy is not?
AJ Green was shut down, and I would take him over Jordy Nelson.

I understand the importance of facing a quarterback the caliber of Aaron Rodgers. But in terms receiving corps, The packers are probably next to last ranked against the others the Cowboys have faced.

I guess I gotta clean my homer glasses!

 

[jazzcat22]

We are winnnig, we are 4-1, and a few want to only find ways to say why the other teams lost, and we did not win.

Well, sorry to inform those, as we did win those games. The d came up with plays to help win. Last year they did not.
So to me they are a big reason of being 4-1.

room for improvement, yes. but we all knew it would be a "process" and they would improve as the year goes on.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Plus...we are doing it without O-Scan for the most part. He's been gimpy since the Giants game.

Got to him a little bit later in the game. Tyrone Crawford had a big sack. But last week was he first real pressure we've seen.

I suspect our yards and points per drive is still low.
