Fixing the run defense is more that just upgrading Mazi Smith!

[OUCowboy]

Fixing the defense starts up front and our DL has to get more physical. We get manhandled far too often. Our defense, especially our run D is a big concern and has been for a long time.

It makes me long for the days of Randy, Harvey, and Too Tall.

I’d rather have our defensive line rotation from the 90’s teams. They rotated fresh beasts in all game long. Swarming the QB and attacking the run.

Yep, you are probably right. But there was just something special with those three beasts.....

Micah Parsons' next deal could exceed mind-blowing amount per year​

Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys reportedly have a lot of work to do before reaching a deal, but the latest rumors indicate the value could be higher than predicted.

Davenport points to B/R's Kurt Benkert hinting Parsons' next deal could "average $45 million per season."

He writes, "That kerfuffle doesn’t appear to have rankled Parsons too much, though. The soon-to-be 26-year-old showed up at voluntary workouts in a sign of good faith.

They need to trade him before they have that albatross of a contract tied around their necks.

A guy who never won dpoy or led the league in anything. Disgusting business.

cue Rocky and company about how the market rules.
I will be the first to say QBs are vastly overpaid, but second in my mind are one trick pass rushers.

Look no further than the DTs, LBs (Micah is more Edge)and Safeties when it comes to stopping the run......not a single All Pro, Pro Bowler.....just alot of average to below average with Overshown not being able to play

 

[Pass2Run]

Of course, but your post makes no sense as to what is being discussed. Maybe work a little harder at coherency.

The one you're replying to makes perfect sense.

I hear you, though. From what I've managed to decode, CCBoy is a militant homer. You only need a foreign language degree to understand what he means, half the time. But he's basically a soldier here on CZ for the Dallas Cowboys.

He probably also took some damage back in Nam. Then again, he's always in character. So you just never know.

It'd help if the undersized DT you just gave 20 million a year to wouldn't look like he's playing on skates against the better OLs.

Until we get to the playoffs. And then the D is not fine.

Just have to play much better on offense. The defense needs a couple guys to really step up if our D is gonna be improved any at all

I was thinking about my post. Doomsday was an all time collection of talent. Randy alone!!

 

[CCBoy]

He's coming up and is a one in 10 talent and plenty of cap to sign 6 strong players here and now. You want the money spent or not?

Maybe Osa turns it up a notch. I liked his rookie year when he was the only guy who showed up vs San Fran in the playoffs. That was his rookie year tho.

He has kind of underachieved from where I thought he'd be currently. I figured his wrestling background and physique would factor but it didn't.

You want responsibility? Are the 5 other veterans going to get paid and renegotiated this off season...beyond Parsons? Let's here more than shoving insult around. Explain where this today is actually going and more than blaming someone a fan as validly and ethically at blame for fan changes. Response to your accusations and not my topic chosen. You be honest. This defense is walking well beyond just being a dream in the sky. This staff is doing some real work.

That does include Jerry Jones and staff with a strong direction in player acquisitions. YOU get real and quit looking for your own whipping boys. YOUR focus, and not sharing team respect with myself. You have small hands?

I like the directions of the defensive line, here and now...not just looking for heroes.

Team focused.

Become a defensive coordinator, they have a strong element in the design of their defensive scheme.

Shaping play to complain with instead....ever stopped a run in an opponent's back field, yourself?

When you tell me a player who became highest paid after never winning the top award or leading any category I'll entertain your nonsense. Then and only then.

Prescott has been competitive at that level of real production since he entered. That is Air Force One levels, not looking for free gifts instead.

Straight up, on a fan site you can't keep prisoner of wars. My efforts leave little in doubt. Issue of support is my direction. not crying ignoring the real morales of motivation. I show continual reflection of team directions and then actually pause to see those aspects play out. That becomes my direction when there is more poster insult and real crying as the real objective when presented with context of unconditional support.

The Cowboys season will be very interesting. Just don't like me, tough crap. I'm rooting for the team, and always have done that!
