Do they even have four linebackers in the team?

 

[charron]

I don't care what they call it. Find out what these guys do well together and put them in position to make plays.

We're going to get killed by the run...smoked

Jeez, we are blending efficacious schemes now. Is it going to be a smoothie?

Why is anyone still talking 4-3 or 3-4, when the base personnel package in the league is Nickel against a base offensive 11 personnel?

I see a Big Nickel version of 4-2-5, with an in the box SS rather than a CB. That's our base.

As they're putting the defense together, I see a strong run defense formation relative to the rest of the league. Instead of Nickel with a CB, we're going Nickel with an in the box SS.

Urban in the base as run defending DE. Jaylon/Basham behind him to blitz and provide the pass rush Urban lacks. DLaw on the other side is very good against the run.

I expect we draft a 1T in 2 or 3 to add to that package. You can get the best 1T in the draft there.

The problem is at LB. I see us relying on LVE and Jaylon for stopping the run, and LVE needs to show he's up for it, while Jaylon has shown that he isn't.

Yeah - a s**t smoothie.

 

[Rayman70]

weird. Why are we trying to do the same things these players failed at miserably last year?

 

[Rayman70]

Hows about just keeping **** simple MM? We dont need to reinvent the wheel, its FB.

I thought our base was a 5-2-4. Been that way for so long.

"Tighter blend" is the new "New wrinkles". This team is so dumb.

 

[75boyz]

Probably just me but I could have sworn he opened the presser with the first bold face lie of player over scheme just like last year.

This roster does not support any effective 3-4 alignment scenario for the front 7.

This was proven over and over with the so called hybrid 3-4 sets last year and the countless failed attempts at putting square pegs in round holes with personnel assignments.

As a whole, I prefer Quinn over Nolan but his real success dates back to when he had some good to great to HOF level talent at LB and secondary.

Dallas ain't got that by a long shot.

Hope he can coach em up better than the last guy.

 

[Ranched]

Nolan was MM's buddy for quite some time according to MM. Now MM was quoted saying the same about Quinn.

If Quinn was so much better, why did they waste time by bringing in Nolan last season?!

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Last year's hybrid defense was the disaster of all disasters.

Cowboys' solution: let's build on what we did last year further!

Excuse me, I'm going to go lie down for a while.........
