Defense gives up 274 yards rushing

[atlantacowboy]

And this after giving up 190 rushing yards last week. I'm not saying Dak and the offense are playing good. I'm saying the defense is giving us no chance to win. Don't be fooled by the final score today. This was a humiliating physical beat down. Our lines were dominated on both sides of the ball, and we might have the worst run defense in the NFL and perhaps Cowboys history.

Wow, that's a lot. Zimmer might not be the man after all.
I think his play style has left the building. Doesn't know how to adjust to these new offenses.

Its a combo of scheme and lack of talent. Our DT rotation is pure trash. We have too many marginal NFL players and unproven young guys holding down too many spots.

 

[Wolfpack]

Look at the roster, it's trash. Bottom tier guys and rookies, that's the bulk of the defense.

I doubt anyone has a front 7 (6) as bad as this roster.

I thought Zimmer was going to have this defense in beast mode not playing like lame ducks.

 

[YerocDeam]

They don’t have the dawg in them, regardless of roster. As others have mentioned, they’re a soft team. And that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

Why are people acting like just because one thing sucks, it absolves another thing from sucking? The defense— everything from the scheme, to the players, to the coaching, to the DTs, DEs, LBs, Safeties, CBs, to the execution, to the attitudes and entitlement— absolutely REEKS to high heavens.


But so does Dak, Ceedee, Cooks, the entire Oline, this dollar store level RB committee, the OC, and MM.


The entire TEAM sucks, reeks, and smells not only rancidly, but sickeningly to the highest peaks of all heavens.

Why? Did you not see his defenses when he was here before?

 

[Risen Star]

A tweak here and there and you can't run on this defense.

 

[slick325]

Zimmer said he will fix it. I believe him. Lol

 

[unionjack8]

Zimmer was NEVER the right hire.

When will this franchise,stop hiring retreads

As Jimmy has reminded us many times over the years, Jerry is running a country club not a football team.

It doesn't help when your offense sucks too, makes for a good old fashion butt kick'in! It's not too late or early to fire a HC and Defensive Coach. Make the changes now and hope for some luck in the draft.

Won't take much. Just 4 good DLs, 3 LBs, and a couple DBs. Oh, and a DC.

The defense was getting dominated from the opening kickoff.

I say it often and I mean it this defense is high school level. It’s like watching a 5A school play a 2A. I mean everyone in the offseason said it but the Jones boys once again place their strategy in hope and draft picks and completely ignore free agency to address major weaknesses. Freaking bizarre

 

[JW82]

Nice. Held them under 300! Suck it Baltimore!

 

[My3Sons]

Zimmer is a garbage Jerry hire from the trash heap that nobody wanted.

DTs are awful. Mazi couldn't start for a good college team.

Safeties might be playing worse than the DTs and that is a low bar.

Well, the plan was apparently to make Dak the highest paid player in NFL history and CeeDee the second highest paid wr in history. So, their lack of offseason aggression makes total sense.

The strategy, however, makes no sense.

Iam sooo happy DQ was run out of town and mighty Zimmer is back.

He can fix this. I like our guys.
