Had high expectations for Cox, but he has been the invisible man thus far, not sure why, he looked as though he was finding his role in this Defense last season before getting injured.
Is he in the doghouse or having issues recovering from the injury.
Cox does not turn well. That was always going to limit him. He's prolly more of a backup type.

A big part of it was probably because he just got here and they were working him in. He should get more snaps against Green Bay.

No doubt but I think Bears stayed with the run despite the fact they were behind all day long. I think Cowboys expected to see them go to more passing and never really happened. The had 43 runs not something you expect when a team is trailing. Also Fields is a runner and running QB can give defense fits. You can put a spy on him but that is hard to do when the QB is athletic and fast as field is in the open field

My comments weren’t exactly incorrect, because he wasn’t in the lineup enough to make a significant difference. We gave up more rushing yards on Sunday than we have all season. I haven’t looked over the Cowboys history, but I doubt they’ve won many other games if any giving up 240 yards rushing. The professional breakdown that was posted showed the Cowboys still had some issues against the run when Hankins was in there but overall, they played much better against the run when he was in there.
Oh, just admit that you spoke out of turn. :muttley:

I spoke about a couple of hours too soon. That’s when the professional breakdown was posted. Even with him on the field we have some work to do defending the run.

It's more that they stayed w/ the run because Fields blows major chunks as a passer.

They ran for 200plus because they couldn’t pass. They lost by 20.
The Bears basically ran the clock out because their only goal was not to try to win but to keep us from feeding them a 50 burger.

This thread needs a bump because Hankins and Clark are going to actually elevate this defense more than some are expecting.
Anyone thinking that these two will not be in serious snap counts, are sleeping or need to go to bed and get some sleep.

The trinity is always Onions, Garlic, and Green pepper, that is how you always start anything you ever cook.
Stick to that and everything comes out perfect.

are you talking bell peppers, jalapenos, or what type? Each of those are good, and jalapenos go in everything

The pepper is always at your discretion, your preference and heat toleration.
I lived in New Orleans for a short period of time when I was really young, which was a very long time ago lol,,,
A very old and wise lady neighbor in NO educated me on the trinity at that time, more than 30 years ago now that I think about it, but nonetheless the trinity has been a staple of the way I cook to this day.

LVE needs to be moved back a peg we need to see Cox on the field with Parsons and Clark.







Sorry I think Cox has to get some playing time asap

You need to really start paying more attention, Cox has been passed up already.
There is a very strong competition that has been ongoing to feel that role, and Cox isn't even in the conversation at this point.
Thats a good thing considering the depth now, but a bad thing for Cox.
He will really have to start showing signs soon, or will be gone eventually, he is on rook contract, so we have the depth to be patient with him.

I was about to say the same thing.

Cox = Reggie Robinson. I haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise.

True, Fields has yet to show much as a QB. Frankly at 6'2" 227 I would move him to RB and go get a QB
Seriously, w/ his sub 4.5 speed, surely he could move to a position at which he could succeed?
