Defense after 2 games

[Rayman70]

its a passing league. If you can hold teams under 30 thats not too bad. Our defense at least was physical today and showed high effort. We can get better. The Ravens game will be brutal but I wanna see how we play, win or lose.

 

[Gremell12]

Yeah, not only did our secondary need to have a guy step up at safety and corner but we really were seeming to count on EZE to step up at pass rusher. Gary and him would make a decent trio with another guy but eze has been dissapointing and maybe he will get better coming off surgery as the games come but wow…those two guys as your main edge seem…less than ideal.

It feels different than last year in that instead of these insane chunk plays, it's a short play that turns into a bigger play or intermediate throw that extends drives. Seems we play the safeties deeper, when maybe we should be more worried about the stuff closer to the line and trying to shut down the running game.

Cowboys signed Jalen Thompson in free agency and hired a 1st time defensive coordinator.

Then 90% of the fanbase declared the defense was vastly improved.

bunch of silly people

There were a lot more changes than that.

 

[Relayer]

I'm amazed at the poor tackling....and not being able to sack the QB when it's right there.

Guys play out of control. They're too busy looking the opponent in the eye. They need to watch the hips and attack the front leg.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah, very disappointed with our rush, especially the play from our DTs….way way overpaid for what they are showing thus far. They played better second half, but they got a long way to go. Are we maximizing how we use Q? Dude has potential to be a dominant player who get pressure, he’s better than this.

When they talked about potential scheme change I wondered initially would it maximize Q because now it was explained I didn’t see it.

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

That one excuse for a tackle was REALLY bad technique. He looked like a dope on that one.

 

[Relayer]

I'm sure he'll be heartbroken.

Hopefully he's already crapping his pants and doesn't need us to point anything out for him.

 

[Relayer]

And yet it happened so the comment was inaccurate

Huh?

 

[Relayer]

I’ll have to rewatch the film to fully disagree with this, but my early prediction is that I will be disagreeing. Washington beat themselves more than the Dallas defense stopped them.

A bad pitch that ruined a drive. A bomb from Daniel’s that was just a couple inches too far to Burks. The probably should be TD that got called incomplete.

I’m hoping after my rewatch that I have more positives than I realize but Washington really shot themselves in the foot often.

The spot I may agree with you on is this defense did seem to make Daniel’s hold the ball longer, which is obviously a sign of better coverage. Pass rush just couldn’t get home at all.

I'm sure you'll find some bad plays in coverage. I never said that. But at least there were guys in the same time zone as the receivers.

 

[Relayer]

He doesn't play defense! NEXT My point is the Bills have a bad defense and they will not get to a Super Bowl giving up 31 points game, Meaning.. They are simialr to the Cowboys right now, gret O bad D.. Anything else you wanna get wrong?

Who said he plays defense?Stop attacking me with something i never erven hinted at, never mind said. But he gives them a bigger chance to win shootouts because of how good he is. Are you saying i'm wrong?

 

[75boyz]

Name one person who echos what Jerry just said?

Wait, you want me to personally out all the people on this board that say or said the defense will be better during the offseason?

I mean I'm already not the most popular for pointing out poster errors. Maybe I shouldn't add to it by calling out all the wrong opinions so early.

Yeah, I'll choose the high road this time.
But I might come back by seasons end and give you the whole roll call if it gets too overwhelming.

That should be good enough for now.

Are you saying suck them in close? Aren't you worried they'll fly right by?

No, who are now praising it as being better.

 

[blueblood70]

They made more changes than that.

You have at least 19 new defenders 8 new starters that were different that linked up from game1 last year and he say that's always done.. Some of these just hide under a rock come out to troll and then they get it all wrong..

I really feel like typing anymore but talking about new players like Thompson, Locke, winters, Ogbonnia, Overton, Durant, and locke, Gary, Barnham, Downs etc and those are just guys seeing starting snaps or heavy rotation...

And then we lost hooker game 1, locke, Durant and others this game. Some of the fans are absolutely clueless casuals, I really don't even know Didn't call them anymore.. He's literally going from 43 but 34 and having it ridiculous amount of turnover..

changes != improvements

Gary was about to be released by the Packers.

I’m guessing he doesn’t need anything from a message board

 

[Jarntt]

Huh?

You put yourself in the middle of the conversation, so at least read the conversation you are quoting

 

[SDCowboy]

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.

As hard as it is to imagine, it may be worse
