Definitive proof the base defense argument is ridiculous!

[kskboys]

The best defense is when your front four dominate and pressure the QB without a bunch of blitzes

If you can't bring pressure w/ your front 4, you've already lost.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Seattle's entire defense was friggin brilliant last night. The front four hit Maye on every snap, but the Seahawks secondary was on absolute lockdown mode too. On the alternate camera angles, you could see that Maye had nowhere to throw. And that back seven was HITTING.

 

[RonWashington]

I dont think the team is sold on him.

I think you’re right . At UT he could run from scrimmage and also line up wide and catch passes .

Yeah, but the way Seattle timed those secondary blitzes last night was a thing of beauty. I hope Eberflus was taking notes.

So, you still gotta blitz. More than anything it's not just about fronts, it's also about not being predictable.

Also, shout out to Seattle's special teams.

The front four of Seattle wouldn’t have gotten home if they had a porous backfield like the one we have with the Cowboys. Drake Maye would have picked it apart.

Maye basically had nowhere to throw because Seattle’s zone was so effective.

Those blitzes were amazing! It was like watching a horror movie as they took out their victims.

 

[blueblood70]

Exactly, The talent level between Seattle's defense and Dallas's defense is overwhelming.

There is no comparison what are you talking about it's blatantly obvious the last couple of seasons Seattle was number one and the Cowboys were around 32 Yeah I think that's a gap big enough to say there is no comparisons none can be made at all and it needs a full rebuild this offseason and that's going to be tough they're going to make tough decisions make some trades be smart in the draft go after free agents if they want to even get to have a 20th ranked which with this offense you could probably be pretty successful 10 to 12 wins versus what happened last year if we could just get that far out of the cellar..LOL

Well, Eberflus could have taken a whole library full of notes, has zero effect on the Cowboys.

Im telling you, I was jealous of how well they locked down in those zones. I think there were some opportunities but by then Maye was seeing ghosts.

Yeah, he can take what he learned down to the PWFL (Pop Warner Football League) where he belongs!

Me too. I’m jealous of how they did that. Those defensive backs weren’t top-15 picks either, except for Weatherspoon. Hopefully, our defense with Parker can achieve that level of greatness.

Thus Im in favor of us using our first two picks on corners.

No doubt. I hope we focus on rebuilding LB and secondary this offseason

Exactly.
So funny to continue to read the scheme stuff though.
Because putting those same Cowboys guys last year from the linebacker and secondary group in Seattle's scheme changes absolutely nothing about last year's onfield performance.
Absolutely nothing.
Some here need to get over this Jerry influenced over rated bias of those Cowboy players.
They sucked as players. Period.
REGARDLESS of scheme or coach.

Well I just meant Eberflus is no longer a coach for the Cowboys.

 

[Cowboyny]

Seahawks played just 1.5% of their snaps in base defense. Even the NFL average is just 29.1% which out of an average of around a 60 snap game is between 15-18 snaps.

Yes, the base defense in the modern game is the nickel package.

 

[75boyz]

Well I just meant Eberflus is no longer a coach for the Cowboys.

Yeah,
I just meant it didn't matter who was the coach.
The results would have been the same.
And nope, not an Eberflus apologist. Could care less.
Lack of talent is purely that.
Can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****.

 

[StarW]

Well I just meant Eberflus is no longer a coach for the Cowboys.

Yeah, but he's still a reference point for coaching failure. There are levels to the game, and he represents the lowest level on the scale.

Even with our pathetic roster, Seattle's scheme would yield better results, albeit just a couple of Ws.

Coaches get paid to develop players and practice squad guys and coach them into starters

Ex: Josh Jobe - Seattle poached him off the Eagles PS and turned him into a starter.

Lastly, remember what DQ did with the defense after Nolan?

Coaching and scheme matter a lot, especially come playoff time.

Look at Dallas special team unit performance under Bones vs this year with Sorensen/Polk. Same players mostly, but big difference in terms of on field outcomes due to coaching and scheme.

He missed a lot of open receivers, too. Pressure may have had him shook, but even when he had time, he was off.

Those sacks took a toll. Maye finally settled down in the 4th a little, but it was too late and he had to force the ball.

The defense as a unit should have been given the MVP award over Kenneth Walker.

They earned it and won the game.

Pretty sure Seattle blitzed considerable.

But that was most likely because Maye and his WR's could not read it.
