of Dallas' CBs playing 7 yards off the line of scrimmage. Can someone please explain to me the reasoning behind giving WRs that big of a cushion?

Why does D-Town radio keep posting garbage thread on this MB? Like the Ellis trade rumor and Dawkins comments how he's good buddies with TO?

Protecting against the deep ball.

Maybe cause Henry is the second best we have and we could use another faster one on one cover corner guy.

Maybe because T-New's foot still hurts and that will not get better this year.

Some times you have to play the cards your dealt.

I don't mind them doing it on 1st down when we're sending a blitz package. But when it's 3rd and 5, it's just silly.

It didnt seem to be working too well yesterday, why not get up on the LOS and try to disrupt the timing of their passing game? It just seems like the defense has been giving up way too many yards underneath all season. Everytime they get a team in 2nd and long they just throw a quick pass for 7 to 12 yards and end up in 3rd and manageable.

No it didn't work all that well. But how many teams like NE do we have on our schedule? Indy is one. Who else?

We can play bump and run with a few teams, I wish the Skins were our next two opponents at the moment instead of in November and the last game of the season.

But when we play a team with a good QB and 2-3 good WRs I can see zones and doubling up on the really good WRs and if we want to try to bump and run with them may be leting the SS or FS do the bumps then blitz the QBs.

I was reading the post of a *** over at ES. Sure some of you guys know him. TR-1.
Of course he's floating on air last night finally having a Cowboy loss to crow about.
He's discussing our pass defense. How horrible it is and how any QB only need ONLY to throw the ball 50 times to beat us.

My obvious response to that was that if Campbell was throwing on our D at a 50 pass pace, he'd be carted off the field in the 2nd Q.

Of course I could not post this response having been banned from the board because of the last verbal smack down I gave this moron.

We don't play Indy, they are not on our schedule.
