DB woes

[SilverStarCowboy]

Holding is allowed in the NFL, it's the real collusion nobody ever talks about.

What makes you think the Defense will better? We lost pretty much most of our DB. We drafted young guys who will prob need some time to develop. Why is shocking to people here that the consensus is our defense is our weak point.

The players the Cowboys added are better than the ones they let go. Add in Tapper, Jaylon and Taco. That is an upgrade at each level of the defense. Not to mention, the new DB's actually fit the scheme the Cowboys run. Yes they will be better. It's really a no brainer.

It's not shocking to anyone but you that the consensus is the defense is the weak point. But considering the offense is loaded with pro bowlers and is regarded as one of the best in the league, the defense isn't going to compare favorably. Geez people.

I get the concerns about having to rebuild the defensive backfield. The over reactions about our DB and safeties getting burnt in the first half is a bit amusing. One has to really look at the main issue, no DB can hold a receiver for too long when we were not generating any type of pressure. Our DLine just couldn't collapse their 2nd, third and 4th stringer offensive linemans at all, making Gabbert a journeyman look like the second coming of Rogers out there with lots of time to set his feet and find an open WR. We really realistically won't see what our real D would look like until the second to the last pre-season game is played.

Zone coverage with that many inexperienced players had no chance to work.

If they cared about the score, they would have played all man coverage because young players don't have to think as much to play man.

I gave him a detailed writeup on all players and how this defense would be better.......he fails to reply on facts

This is why I can't share everyone enthusiasm about this season. Some people here are talking Super Bowl. This team is NOT winning anything this year. Our defense right now is nowhere near good enough. Sure, maybe all the young DB we drafted will get better down the road but this year it's going to be ugly for our Def. I know everyone wants to be excited and such, but I have a feeling we are all in for a major letdown. I don't think this team wins 8 games. I have plenty of hope for the future of this team and the direction they want to go but it's going to take some time. Hope Im wrong about this year , but I just think this defense will be worse than last year.

This team just better win more than 8 games. Even with the defense this team should contend for the playoffs.
