Offense didn't screw them over in Tampa and they were terrible.
Offense didn't screw them over last year vs. Baltimore and they were terrible.
Offense didn't screw them over on the last drive of the game. They have never been great and I don't see that changing. They are average.
This team reminds me of the early 80's Chargers. Great offense, terrible defense.
Wade is extremely over rated when it comes to being a DC.
I don't believe so. As a defensive coordinator, Wade is highly respected around the league, and his overall performance record supports his lofty reputation.
As difficult as it may be to accept, the problem may reside with the personnel on the defensive side of the ball. There's a reason players are administered intelligence and personality tests prior to the draft; the ability and willingness to learn the NFL game is every bit as important as physical ability.
Dumb players are bad players, regardless of their talent. The Cowboys have a veteran defense that is playing its third year in the same scheme. If they don't "get it" by now -- if they still don't understand the various coverages and their individual responsibilities at this point -- we have every reason to question their football intelligence.
It almost seems as if the defense is regressing rather than improving.
