Defense

[Rampage]

looked pretty good with the help of a few drops. Pacman got better as the game went on. I hope tnew gets some pt next week cause were gonna need him.

 

[Real1st]

Tnew needs to come back when he is 100%

 

[LeonDixson]

Jones got lost in the zone a couple of times but, overall, didn't look too bad. He's definitely better playing man to man.

The defense has a ways to go yet. Don't forget the browns had SIGNIFICANT injuries. Also on many of the stops it was actually Clevelend stopping themselves. I think we will be fine, but the D needs much more work and improvement.

yeah Cleveland definately had some key people out. I think the D looked better in the 2nd half. Braylon Edwards played like crap.

 

[Nors]

Other than that one drive, the defense was solid. Cleveland has a lot of weapons and Anderson historically gets it out fast.

On the other hand, they wouldn't have scored their TD if we had not committed penalties twice on third down when we had them stopped.

I know the Browns where a great offense last year, my only wish is that we get more pressure, because teams like Philthy, if you let McFlabb stand back there, it could be lights out.

Realistic and accurate posts. Our defense is a work in progress. But in fairness if Tnew and Spencer were healthy............anyway, I agree with Real1st that Tnew needs to be 100%. cAn't have this linger throughout the season.

I noticed this as well. When he was in zone, he seemed hesitant like he was thinking to much. When in man to man, he was more natural and let his instincts take over. It will come in time though. I imagine this is also the same delay for Jenkins which is why Scandrick got more PT. Jenkins will be fine once he gets the zone coverage scheme under his belt.

I agree it will come for both of them.

Cowboys look good! Denfense was good enough but indeed needs too improve. Special team was also much better. Defense, dumb penalties, and careless turnovers needs to be worked on.
