Twitter: Dallas Tweets 09/30

Agreed. Probably allow the same yardage and points but will get more turnovers and get the offense some short fields occasionally.

I'm exaggerating for sure, but things can't get worse that doing what they're doing.

I agree, I just take some measure of comfort in the fact that Mayfield isn't on the same level of the Super Bowl quarterbacks we've faced for the first three weeks of the season.

Problem is he goes hot and cold, same as Beckom, we have to hope he's cold this week. Having him at home is a small plus...

he’s due for a low game. He played good last week and against the Bengals. Browns are like the Cowboys. Overhyped and so cocky when they win, they lose. But Dallas is pretty bad so I’m not so sure this will happen.

It should be Smith and Knight on each side if smith can play, never understood why Steele started over Knight.

I believe it was because Knight was dinged up. Essentially our top three tackles (Smith, Collins and Knight) have missed time because of injury. I think Knight possibly could have played in the opener (I believe he was active), but I believe his injury is what led to Steele getting the nod. Could be wrong, though.

Coach speak,,
CD wasnt out there because he knew the Pete put out a hit on our coveted rook, because of Hills cheap alligator roll on Carson.

Wasnt the Hill incident after CD got hit?

Baker won't win or lose the game for them. In their 2 wins he only has 16 completions in each game averaging less than 200 yards. I'm not counting the blowout loss to Baltimore. They're going try to run the ball down our throats.

Yes it was. His timing of events is wrong.

Oh, man, you had to go there with the ".. things can't get worse.." comment.

I think we're either 31st or last, so any fall won't be too far.

 

[quickccc]

i don't get the point of " reinstatement" if Gregory has to still wait almost 2 months

NFL is basically making him wait until mid season, for him to get on the playing field ?,.. That's utterly ridiculous !

Point taken

 

[Cowboy4ever]

I think this week is the week to be aggressive on D. Mayfield is not in the same class the first 3 QBs and I think we can force some mistakes out of him. We should man up, I think we play better in Man anyway and run blitz all day.

It's funny that when pass rushers don't get sacks, they start to look at 'pressures'. Pressures that sure don't seem to be limiting opposing quarterbacks from 'bombs away' down the field.

The same lame excuses were constantly made for Crawford too.

Pressures are a good thing overall.

But what's the qualifier? If a QB is pressured but completes a bomb for a TD, does it count?

Point being if a player doesnt get an actual sack but forces a QB into a throw away or mistake, that's one thing....

I dont know the answer as to if a "pressure" with a positive result for the offense actually counts.

Does it? If so it's a crap stat.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Just man up and blitz the hell out of opposing quarterbacks. You're already getting beat down the field anyway, may as well get some pressure and hits along the way.

I agree you might even get a tunrover or something, whats the diference between getting burned on play 4 or play 8???

I consider it a crap stat because it lacks any qualifiers, as you mentioned. Crawford was getting credit by some for 'pressures' which consisted of Aaron Rodgers side-stepping his slow *** and completing a big pass downfield.

Why should a player somehow get 'credit' for that?

It's like a participation trophy - 'thanks for showing up!'

Heard about that as well but the thing that gives me pause is I read from one of the insiders that the coaches didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about Knight when he did participate in camp and the first unofficial depth chart had him as a G. Makes me feel like he was in the dog house for some reason or another.

Definitely seems like the clear cut swing-T at this point.

I think it varies greatly, depending on the secondary.

That's what I was asking. Does it actually count in that case? I dont know the answer.

I think it still counts as a pressure, yes. A big reason why I feel the stat is useless, because it is fact so subjective.
