Heard this on the radio about Dan Quinn and penalties

[john van brocklin]

I think penalties cannot be viewed in a vacuum. If the ratio or turnovers vs penalties is favorable, then you roll with the penalties. If not then you have to give the cost vs benefit analysis a good hard look.

1000 % this ^^^^^

2021 penalty stats re 'The Football Database' :
Offensive Holding___
1) Cowboys -27
2) Vikings - 26
3) Ravens - 25
4) Raiders, Texans tied - 24
6) Browns, Chiefs tied - 23

Cowboys lead the league, shocker!

Bill Parcells I believed used to say that when it comes to penalties either you're being coached that way or it's being allowed to happen.

Either way it's the coaches fault.

Shannon Sharpe said something similar yesterday

except Parcells said he doesnt coach penalties that its on the players

To answer the question… yes, aggressive. I always like aggressive defense, even if it causes a few more penalties.

I promise you that the opposing offense would rather see a passive defense with no penalties, than an aggressive, in your face defense that gets some penalties.

An aggressive defense can also result in turnovers which will negate some of those penalties. Aggressive all the way.

Kinda long but needed to setup the question. Now I'm not blaming Dan, because I feel it's on the players mental focus .
But a radi0 hist on 105.3 fan pointed out after researching was that each year Dan was the main DC on a team
Seattle 2 years (legion of boom) 1 year Here the team was number 1 in penalties. What I find interesting is they won a superbowl in Seattle ranking #1 in penalties. Went to the superbowl and was 12-5 here. Which leads to this, his defenses are very aggressive which Could lead to more flags, ( haven't did the research on if the defense lead the way in penalties or offense)
Here's the question if the aggressive style is the major culprit, what would you choose. Have a less aggressive defense or continue being the aggressive defense and live with the flags?

I'll take penalties and a #1 defense who forces turn overs any day.

It's the offensive penalties that hurt the most, because it's so difficult to overcome 2nd and 20 when we can't run against a cover 2.

Why did you leave out the Falcons years, just because he was HC? I watched the 105.3 segment as well, once they realized his Falcons days he was middle to the pack or better in penalties they said they were thrown off as well.

I think the Seattle penalties are easy as heck to explain. They began a style of defense that used huge and physical DB’s to play an aggressive style of defense. Those Brandon Browner was a penalty machine and ended up continuing after leaving Seattle. Those guys were just so big and physical that they were obviously going to generate a lot of penalties.

I don’t think this info is as damning as the stat would suggest.

This team has been soft...we all know that
At this point I want mean, blood spitting aggressive play. I’ll even take an ejection here and there.

 

[Hardline]

I played football from 5th grade to high school varsity and was a starter for the most of it. Played offense and defense and all that time I only committed one penalty and that was taking off downfield on the kickoff team before the ball was kicked.
Playing good sound fundamental football will take care of the penalty issues.
The problem the Cowboys have is getting called for penalties that didn't actually happen.

I wouldn’t pay too much attention to anything you hear on the radio.

Aggressiveness is welcome, we want players to play with some aggression, Football demands it.

But knuckleheadness shouldnt be , Like the one Joseph did, on a long field goal ( 55+ yards ) you don’t commit an offside togive the other team chance.

I left out Falcons because he wasn't the DC
