Defense after 2 games

[Dallas5xchamps]

First off glad we got the W. Now with that being said, our defense has to get better at communication. There is no excuse for receivers to running down the field wide open. Secondly, our DE have to do a better job of not leaving running lanes vs mobile QB's. Too many times they rushed upfield and it created lanes for J5. Tackling at the POC, we have to do a better job of bringing down the ball carrier and preventing that extra 3-4 yard gain. I feel Barham did ok, Caleb had 1 mental lapse on the 1st td, but played a very solid game. Revel, is going to have to tighten up at cb too. Overall, hopefully the defense improves with more games with live action, due to most guys not playing preseason.

Not gonna lie….the pass rush sucks and they just sit back and not get pressure. Daronte Jones is facing a similar issue with the Commanders but he cooks up blitzes which that’s his game and where he came from with Flores.

I think Parker deserves time to cook I just don’t know how long this team can wait. I at least want some stops.

Actually i thought revel was pretty good, perfect by no means but not a liability either.

I said I'd give him 6 weeks. I'm changing it to 4. After the texans game if stroud cooks us I'm done with CP

I think it's safe to say there was probably some improvement in coverage from last week. Explains Daniel rushes ..........but that's not saying much; it was still bad.

It looks as bad as last year so far. It's hard to watch our run defense and our pass defense on 3rd down is pathetic.

They got a decent amount of "pressure" today. The just couldn't seal the deal when they got there.

Cowboys gonna need to score 37 every week in order to have a chance.

yes Now do Buffalo Bills Do you know what the other king let's show the scores given up the first two games of the year I get it yes yes to you but we still win the win it was a must win if they win that's all we do is not start with two losses that would happen if we're going to hear all the crying 72 posts all week..

OK Captain Obvious, Yes the D needs to get better so does Steams and coaching..yup

I bet there's a lot of teams that don't think they're ready to compete for a Super Bowl yet they are getting better each week

like the BIlls..yup Newsflash, You're giving up 31 points a game..

Well, you gotta have the right ingredients to cook. We need a major pass rusher and a CB, and we need them in the worst way.

I’m honestly more concerned about the defense after today’s game than I was last week.

I dogged on the defense last week because they deserved it, but I was hoping they’d show improvement. I just didn’t see it. I saw more intensity from that group, but the actual performance was still really bad.

Gashed in the run game. Zero pressure on the QB. Couldn’t contain the QB whatsoever. Eberflus type soft zones giving up 3rd and longs. I see two horrible defensive performances, one the offense was good enough to bail them out from.

I saw plenty of improvement, but the safeties and corners continue to play too loose.
I will take whatever improvements come.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Some positives from today for me. We did communicate better. We’re more physical. Barham and downs played fairly well.

I did think Parker brought some pressure packages second half. Mariota just eluded some of them. So that was a nice adjustment.

Overall it’s a work in progress. Was the defense bad again yes… but at least there were some positives.

I didn’t see see the Bengals game but Stroud looked good week 1.

Not looking good.

His defense is soft. Passive. Bend but don't break (which always breaks). Like seeing him dial up some blitzes in the second half but our pass rushers are so allergic to the QB that they never worked.

I don't like the way things are looking. He's young. This will take time. But we are in win now mode... I think they should've pursued a more experienced option, in retrospect.

 

[Risen Star]

The defense is atrocious. They don't deserve the Hot Boyz nickname so I would ask that everyone stops calling them that.

I’ll say this with vets out on defense I can at least justify sucking but at least building towards something. I think Barnham and Downs flashed.
