Emmitt Smith on D: "We are completely lost. And very amateurish"

[DasTex]

Some of these players have done a 180 this season....it can't be they all decided to be the worst defensive players in the league

This DC has to go....

 

[noshame]

As the schedule becomes tougher, you'll see Shotty exposed as well, even more so as he has twice the talent level.

It's funny, when the Broaddus just criticized the defense regarding the upcoming Raiders game, the fans got heated. But when Emmitt went even harder than broaddus he gets a big fat pass.

After so many years...I am still trying to figure this board out.

Give up on that man..

I wonder how many teams in history has ever had any success in the regular season with the type of defense that Emmitt Smith and our eyes have seen.

I only ask because.... well for some odd reason, the Dallas Cowboys as a team are somehow expected to overcome an historically bad defense according to some.

Well the answer to your question is zero. And the reason Dallas Cowboys fans expect to overcome that defense is the QB makes 60 million a year, the receiver makes 34 million a year and the LG makes... well you get the picture. If guys are making a certain amount of money football logic goes out the window. For too many stupid fans more money = more wins. Sane people know it doesn't work that way but that won't stop stupid people from being stupid. As you know.. you can't fix .......

I think, generally, fans respect the opinions of Emmitt more than Broaddus.

And whatever Broaddus has said negatively about this defense, I probably agree with him too.

No they don’t. Fans generally respect opinions that agree with their own.

If Emmitt said anything positive about the defense or Jerry Jones this board would be calling him a moron.

 

[Gameover]

They're dumb

If we were going to bring back a retread coach it should've been what's his name from 2014-2019. He's good at keeping it SIMPLE and overachieving with less talent.

 

[Gameover]

Broadus knows as much as anybody on this website about football.

He's trash

 

[Stak78]

I couldn’t agree more with Emmitt. The defensive coaching is awful. Even if it’s not Eberflus’ fault. The position coaches are obviously in over their head.

You mean they should have stuck with Kellen Moore..

Yes ...... you probably have that from banging your head on the ground when Jerry stands up.

When I played you were taught to led with your head.

lead with your head.

I bet you do ...... and gross

Head on the numbers you clown.

No thank you ....... jump back on Jerrys lap.

If you are of the "COWBOYS ARE REBUILDING" camp yea sure, coaches are going to need time. And i love how some fans want to just blame Eberflus like a team is not connected to other parts. Is it possible our scouting isnt as awesome as some thought? is it possible talent is dwindling?

If you are part of the "realist fans" yea this is normal, not every section is Home Run hitters, so, players are exposed, scheme needs to have the talent it needs and players are also being exposed. The Cowboys have not been a well oiled machine for a long time.

If you are of the "everything sucks" camp: Sure, lets just blame one aspect and the guy whos not in charge. Thats always fun.

Emmitt was very lucky and a time most players could never see or be part of. He needs to understand that era doesnt last forever. Its shameful when people try to compare Eras, times or a small glimpse into a bigger realm. He should have said "yea this happens and people need to know it happens"

But as always, the media doesnt want to step on a certain wealthy mans toes and call him out on it.
