For what it’s worth. A lot of new faces on defense. WFT defense in the playoffs gave up 500 yards to this team. We aren’t going to be playing Brady,Gronk,Godwin,Brown and Evans every week lol. Glad that was a week 1 matchup. We definitely need another corner

No they didn't they blew their pick and ended up picking Frederick.



they traded out of 18 to 31 with sf for 31 and a 3rd round pick. they picked frederick and terrance williams with the picks.

Dallas D Line got handled as usual. Until that gets fixed secondary gonna get toasted. Tried and true football fact: Games are won and lost in the trenches.

Brady just gets rid of the ball quickly and out strength are the ends. Cowboys Dline will fare better vs a QB that holds the ball longer.

Don’t forget the two rare bomb drops by mike Evans and Goodwin to blow the game open .

We smell at the DB position - rancid .

This is a new Defense, it's going to take some time. Also, Anthony Brown is still starting. He got worked. Kelvin Joseph didn't play. If it was him getting burned out there, I'd be even more forgiving of the Defense. Tom Brady, Bucs coming off the Super Bowl...geez, we aren't going to be the Legion of Boom. I look for it to get better but hopefully Brown is replaced after a couple more games.

If the Cowboys had a shot at either Surtain or Parsons when they drafted I would have taken Surtain in an instant. But calling this draft a bust or a boom at this point is an overreaction. What the Cowboys needed was a DT like Vea but there was nobody like that in this draft class. They should have gotten one in free agency. I was hoping they would sign Tomlinson. Until they get a guy who can take on a double team block and win, and push the pocket into stationary QBs like Brady, this defense will struggle against quality QBs.

The defensive scheme is not just cover 2. You don't know football. We had some cover 2 looks but it was mostly 4-3. When I say new defense, I mean new scheme implemented by a NEW Defensive Coordinator. You can't be that dense not to know what I mean....

When JJ traded up for Frederick at Center- he was roasted , lambasted - laughed at.
We had a massive need at the most important spot.
He was on his way to the Ring of Honor.

We had a massive need a CB this year - 400 points against - the most 20 yard + tds against
Dan Quinn zeroed in on a LB with two stud corners in getting distance.
If we wanted a CB you pay up and get your guy .

Quinn went BPA and got himself a guy that bites harder than jaylon smith on run fake.

Anthony Brown handed over all of Daks hard work over n over like he was handing out Baby Ruth’s on Halloween.

We needed a CB

We gave up the field on the winning drive - we needed a CB

Tom Brady’s uniform didn’t have a smudge on it .
No sacks

zero blitz on the goal line ? V the goat ??

asinine stuff

I see why he blew that Super Bowl

Parsons - I’m not impressed
Joseph - looks a bust
Golston - camp body
Wright - worst reach of draft
OSA - potential plugger tho small .

That’s a D draft folks

Tampa barely had the ball and they put massive numbers from a clean pocket .

Awful stuff

Dak’s performance masqueraded Quinn’s debacles.

The defense looked better than anytime since the years that DWare played for the Cowboys.

Quinn as D-Coordinator appears to be the biggest upgrade on the entire team.

I have no problem with the draft strategy. I have every problem with the FA strategy. There were opportunities to sign veterans instead of possibly having to depend on Brown to start. Instead, we stayed true to our cheap FA strategy. Same at DT.

We can't expect to fix this defense only through the draft and using cheap FAs to fill in the gaps. Each year, we end up blaming the defensive coordinator for the failures, but it's a front office failure.

I think this is a Super Bowl capable team with a few upgrades, we need to be looking everywhere for help at CB and DL
