Hidden Yards

With all the many issues, this is often overlooked. Just imagine how different some of the plays, drives, games would be if our LBs, CBs and mainly SAFETIES came up and stopped the ball carriers on first contact. We are getting killed in this area of the game.

We don't have Muray bouncing off of tackles now, Dez running through tackles...our guys for the most part right now can only get what's there. While the other team is consistently juking, breaking tackles for extra 5-10+ yards running to daylight.

I have a hard time assigning any blame to our defense after watching the pee-wee league style offense put up 6 points in an NFL game. They were simply hung out to dry. They held NE to 13 points in the first half with no help at all from the other side of the ball.

Little things matter.

Like turning your back to cover a 300 pound third TE that is not going to do much of anything, while allowing their number one receiving threat to roam free around the middle of the field.

Not assigning blame as much as pointing out the Cowboys defense in most cases is in position to make the play, just as the opposing team is against our offense.

this secondary misses Scandrick.....

Wilcox and Church have been as poor of tacklers as we've had on the team this year. Combine that with the fact that neither can cover and we've got a real peach in the secondary. It's frustrating to still be talking about safety play all these years later.
