The short version: "Shut up and play!"

19 sacks is all we had? 40 sacks less than the league leader ... wow.

No he's saying that of the guys still on the team from last year, they only produced 19 sacks combined. No proven pass rushers on the team. That's kinda what happens when you let Hatch and Ware go.

 

[Dwight]

Pass Rush is the key and I don't see much pressure coming from this dline this year.

I hope I'm wrong.

They had more. Goose is talking about the lost production from Ware, Hatch, and other guys that are not returning that produced sacks.

 

[JackWagon]

okay ... that makes more sense. Cuase dang that's pretty awful.

I think they will be able to generate a decent pass rush if the offense can: run the football, sustain drives, and/or score early.

"Bestoed"? I think that's the DMM equivalent of mediocre accomplishments speaking for themselves.

Welcome to last January. What an ace reporter. Tell us something we don't know already.

 

[Hoofbite]

No. Hatcher had 11 by himself. Selvie 7 and Ware 6.

The grammar & spelling mistakes in that first paragraph are cringe-worthy.

 

[jazzcat22]

He he applies a teams total sack production from last year, to the returning guys we have this year.
Wow, talk about cherry picking stats. Just shows me why I disregard his crap. He hits a few things on the head now and then, but this isn't one of them. Except about needing to improve the pass rush. We already knew that.

It strikes me sorta funny how on one hand Gosselin criticizes the team for forfeiting too much to get D-Law and now, he's stating how desperately we need a pass rush before we can back up all our bravado. OK, I do get his point but there also seems to be a contradiction in there somewhere . . . if we need a pass rush that desperately, aren't desperate measures somewhat justified?

I felt the same after reading both articles by Gosselin.

 

[Setackin]

He is right... I wish the cowboys would just shut up... this team embrasses itself every offseason with that "secert sauce" talk.

 

[Cumart21]

He is right, however the team has made a great effort to improve. The real question is, was it enough to improve on last year. I'm praying the answer is yes.

 

[OhSnap]

I think Jerry and half the team throw stuff out there then laugh at these reporters that go running off at the mouth like it's some serious declaration. Does Brandon Carr really believe the Cowboys secondary is gonna take over the league? Probably not. But what the hell lets rag on him for coming into training camp with a positive outlook.

I think we definitely will have more of a pass rush this year, it was time for some new blood and a whole new approach. Hey, Ware and Co while ROH bound just never got it done in crunch time...chalk it up to no OL or whatever...it was always something with this team. I'll say it again, 2007 was our year...unfortunately we know how that all worked out.
