Defense or Offense

[xwalker]

The Cowboys would have lost that game even with prime years Tom Brady at QB.

Yes, Dak/CeeDee failed but it didn't matter.

Just sign the best free agent RB and spend all other resources on the defense.

Must stop the run.

Also, none of the CBs are burners. Diggs, Bland, Gilmore and Lewis are all good but none are ideal matchups vs the elite speed WRs.

LBs...Add one elite off-ball LB and Clark/Bell would be fine as the 2nd and 3rdLBs in the depth chart instead of 1st and 2nd.

Envision the defense with a Fred Warner clone added. Even with no other changes, that would completely change this defense.

...No, Shaq Leonard wasn't that guy anymore...

Having said all of the above, I wouldn't extend Dak's contract. He is under contract for 2024; although that prevents them from pushing any of his 2024 cap hit into the future.

Give Lance a chance.

Defense. It’s why we fell behind, and why a comeback was out of the question. Comebacks is require stops. Our D is incapable.

 

[Jake]

It got to 27-0 with two long TD drives and two scores resulting from Dak picks. Plenty of blame to go around.

Good post. I can’t imagine Dak not getting an extension because how the Cowboys think about franchise quarterbacks. I remember when RG3 sent Romo home by just running the football down are throats then Manning and Foles beat us the years after. Romo still kept getting extended. Jerry is afraid the Cowboys can become irrelevant. That hurts the Jones family bottom line. Dak got that extension in 2021 because the Cowboys became irrelevant when h missed most of the season before with the broken ankle. Nothing hurt Jerry more than when Sunday night ironically flexed out the San Francisco/Dallas game.

There is no way to know that. Score early and don't gift 2 TDs to the other team and the entire dynamics of the game change.

Too many people with a far too simplistic view of the game.

 

[StuckMojo]

Need a MLB and run stopping DT

 

[StarBoyz83]

Defense has gotten better the last 2 seasons. The offense has struggled with going awol for 2-3 quarters since 2016 also though

 

[Tabascocat]

Does prime Brady gift them two touchdowns?

All three phases were bad, no need to try and put more weight on the defense.

They scored a Td on 7/8 possessions. It was never going to be a game no matter what

They can get a real good look in preseason on Lance and have a much better idea what they have

Yesterday’s game reminded me of what the old Bucs coach McKay asked his execution of his offense. His response was that he was in favorite of it.

 

[Aven8]

Geez X you’ve been in hiding and now you’re like Coogio over here creating threads! Lol

LOL, A you are not right.

 

[KMY_Amber]

Both

I think they need multiple TRUE LBers. Bell and Clark aren’t the answer— even as backups.

Thank goodness Quinn is gonna be gone so we stop the experiment of playing DBs as LBs

 

[CATCH17]

We do not need to spend anymore resources on a run stopping DT.

Guess you like teams gashing us in the run game

 

[jwooten15]

This is what I’m talking about. What coach in their right mind would keep this personnel out there against a team that obviously wants to run it?

Bell is a safety and needs moved back there immediately.

LB will be helped with the return of Overshown.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Must stop the run.

Why do we have to say this every year? EVERY year.
