DMN JJT Blog: Why are some of you ripping the Cowboys' defense

[AdamJT13]

Yea, Edwards dropped a couple but he dropped 27 passes last year and still had an amazing season.

The stat they flashed on the screen said 20 drops last year, but I'm pretty sure it should have said "in the past two seasons." The only two sources I know of that keep track of drops are STATS LLC and Football Outsiders, and neither of them had Edwards with anywhere close to 20 drops last season, and neither of them had Owens with 27 (which that stat also said). But if you count the past two seasons, both of those numbers would be about right.

Yeah, I knew the TO stat about him leading the league in drops last year was wrong.

I guess FOX dropped the ball there.

I was happy with the way we played....except...only one sack

The last time Anderson was sacked more than once in a game was 11 games ago--he had a 143 rating that day.

Don't worry.

I think people said they played poor because we had like one sack and zero picks.

That's what most people look at when they look at the defense.

Yeah, i was looking at the sacks too, but then i heard wade talk about how they were using ellis and i rather them shut down recievers most of the game then sack a quarterback once or twice. With Ellis helping in coverage and DWare double teamed, its no wonder their wasnt sacks. Well just the one.
