Eberflus is the problem!

It's the talent and roster depth. Specifically at LB & Safety.

It’s the coordinator and scheme first and foremost.

Every player didn’t ‘suddenly get worse’.

 

[Stash]

Bingo. You can bring Bill Bellicheck in here and he couldn't save this LB and S group. Probably the worst it’s been since the latter Landry years. Even during the lean Campo years they had good smallish LBs and Woodson holding the fort at S.

And you can put All-Pros at every defensive position and they’d still struggle in this terrible scheme and coaching.

Folks just need therapy at this point for continuing the Micah thing. It's football guys. It ain't All My Children or One life to live. Get over it. Yes, we created a hole by trading a guy, but we solved a bigger problem now, and added major draft capital for the near future. In doing so, we accommodated the player and us. It is what it is.

I think Beaverjuice is just ahead of his time

If anyone can explain why we only ran 5 man front against Detroit 11 times I'd love to hear it.

Really thought he would be better than he has been huge disappointment.

His specialty and strength is linebackers. With that beign said the linebackers including overshown have been absolutely trash. He has no business beign the DC in Dallas next off-season. He needs to go. This defense has been the reason this team isnt gonna make the playoffs. If Jerry is serious like he seems he has been lately, then he'll get rid of this pariah.

Why weren't they as bad the last few season then?

Vague question. There are TONS of variables besides JUST the DC.
The level of playmaking talent is what stands out to me. Just my opinion.

 

[Stash]

I'm really skeptical of bringing him back as well. As much as I want to believe its mostly a personnel issue, you would think by week 13 many of the same issues would no longer be as glaring with the right adjustments. He absolutely needs a MLB and safety that is more instictive and is capable of getting themselves in the right position. However, I would hate to waste another year with him. This reminds me of bringing in Monte Kiffin and Mike Nolan. Both were 1 year here and were so bad it made no sense to bring him back. The defense improved under the next guy..

I have those same Kiffin/Nolan vibes.

When did I say: "Every player didn’t ‘suddenly get worse."

I didn't.

Until Schott forced him to make changes, he has been stubborn forcing this scheme on his players, rather playing towards their strengths.

What strengths do you expect from the entire secondary missing games, at one point we had 4 Safeties out.

Most people on this website knew what eberflus was though, so this isn't a shock tbh.

 

[Johannes44]

Eberflus is just the latest scapegoat

 

[slick325]

Eberflus stinks!

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Different DC's, Different Players, Different systems....similar results.

Until they are willing to invest more in the Defense it will continue.
Q Williams could be the start of that. Now they just have to hit on the their first few draft picks and still go after good defensive FAs and not just guys on their last legs willing to play for coupons.

They won't do it. They will continue thinking this is good enough to win.

Good post.

Disagree on the Sanborn hate.

He’s been inured/IR most of the season.

Elam had a decent PFF given the jacked up cover schemes.

All of the DB numbers are in the tank.

Thought run defense got worse when he got hurt, but hasn't played since early in the season.

Also, reminds me of keeping MM after the GB blowout playoff loss.

 

[DandyDon52]

Murray/ Elam = F-

Scheme and putting players in good positions to make a play = F-

Should be fired, but Jerry likes him.

yes and there is no accountability with eberflush from the jones, and shotty has no control over him.

 

[Stash]

I didn't.

When you said this:

It's the talent and roster depth. Specifically at LB & Safety.

All of the linebackers, safeties, corners, and linemen didn’t suddenly forget how to play.

They got Flused. Just like the Joneses.

 

[blueblood70]

Jerry likes him so there's really no problem.

Just because Jerryd Lips were moving and Brian Schottenheimer supporting him in public did not call the man out so he could finish the season doesn't mean he likes him Doesn't mean he's keeping him he fired Mike Nolan after one season he's gotten rid of players with big money left on their contracts The narrative say he he doesn't but he actually has he's fired coaches with many years left on their contracts...


So again the vote of confidence could be just so they can stay focused on the year that doesn't mean he's not going to change his mind the all season because we've seen his vote of confidence before with guys players like I don't know that guy Parsons that left you they they were really close at 1 point he said he would never trade the man And he traded him..

Just because things have been said up to this point doesn't mean it's going to hold up Once they have time to breathe and the offseason comes maybe some of his offensive coaching Staffs including Brian Schottenheimer and the players come to Jerry and say look we don't want this guy on the team he held us back and we're not gonna be confident going into 2026 maybe there's gonna be a coup here to get rid of Eberpoo.......
