How Zim is building a Nightmare Defense: film study

[Proof]

Given that it's a different defense that Quinn ran, growing pains were expected. They're actually more cohesive earlier than I thought they'd be as a defense. Yes, it's been against fairly meh teams, but let's hope it continues.

along with nearly every player of consequence missing multiple games.

This is even more reason to consider Kellen Moore the next HC. Jerry can easily sell Kellen on accepting Zimm as his DC.

BTW....didn't Zimm say he needed some big NTs during training camp? If I remember he had a couple of huge DTs with the Vikes both with the last name Williams ( maybe I'm wrong ).

Why would we want Kellen Moore though at HC? This smells like another Garrett run imo.

 

[Machete]

Not buying this. Still having issues stopping the run.

I think Moore could revive the offense. He worked wonders here with Dak compared to what we saw in eight games this year; although the personnel was a bit better.

The big question is, does Moore have the presence and/or mindset to run an entire team?

Does Zimmer want to remain a D-coordinator is will he be looking for a HC gig?

Building a nightmare defense? I would tap the breaks on the defense. It’s improved the past few weeks but let’s see how it holds up against some of the better teams. Once fans start buying into the defense we end up getting dismantled.

Burrow will test this nightmare D

Defense has played better as of the last couple games, notably the wash game as they were a good scoring offense.

A nightmare for other teams or for Cowboys fans?

 

[Bigrandrn]

It’s been a nightmare, all right. One of the worst in the league. They beat up the Giants, Super Bowl!

Let’s see how they end the season with players back from injury and them more used to the system.

Why? It’s already over.

Why? It’s already over.

I don’t think we can blame Zim yet considering all the injuries…..the D has played much better with some of the players back. If they played better through the rest of the season with a more healthy roster, we have more info before deciding what the team needs for next season for the D. I’m not saying it’s gonna lead to a playoff run or anything.

Was Tom Brady lying when he said Zim's defense gave him fits and was one of the hardest defenses to go against? BTW, TB12 said this multiple times.

My guess is not lying, exactly, but exaggerating. The announcers today always act like everyone is the best, which IMO is pretty irritating.

Baghdad Bob level propaganda here.

What coordinator fixes that?

 

[Risen Star]

The defense is loaded all they need is one defensive tackle.

Yes. It's an embarrassment of richest along the defensive line.

 

[KingCorcoran]

How much more of a nightmare can it be?

 

[gtb1943]

Yes. It's an embarrassment of richest along the defensive line.

you are partially right, the line is an embarrassment

 

[KMY_Amber]

Yes. It's an embarrassment of richest along the defensive line.
