You should be sure about it.not sure about that. we had a pathetic pass rush along with very poor run defense.
The DL ranked quite high in pressure actually.
Watching teams gash us in the run because LBs and DBs refuse to tackle isn't a DL issue.
The DL were routinely playing hard and making plays down the field.
It was our worst season of secondary play in years to the extent guys were getting benched for poor play not just injury.
Quinn was awful versus the run to be sure but that's about what an "edge" guy looks like playing 4-3 WDE. And it's why DAL hasn't used one before last season.
But nothing excuses the tackling of the secondary which was plainly awful.
And Richard having control of what the LBs do is why Jaylon looked a hot mess. He was misused in coverage quite a lot... again likely because they didn't trust the safeties.
When DAL played SEA in 2018 the job Jaylon had in this defense went to Earl Thomas.
