I feel sorry for the next defensive Coordinator

[IceStar-D7]

I can't name any defensive players not corners that I'd be thrilled with if I were coming in as DC. You have an aging Tank. I don't count Micah because he's just everywhere all at once. So, I can't count on Micah at MLB.... Our defensive tackles IMO are all bad. Hankins maybe savable. Other linebackers. Bad!! Safeties have a few "young" guys I think "could" be good. Sorta disappointed with our free safety guys. Hooker etc. Wilson if he'd be my enforcer I'd leave him in there at strong. But anybody anti-Dak better hope he can score point's early in the season because I don't see the defense starting quick next season. Going to be offense or bust -early. We need to draft a DT. Trade for a DT. Draft LB-trade for LB. Put Mazi at a McDonalds stall and say " eat all you want-buddy" Get him back up to 340. I think even if you do all of this. Going to take awhile for this to jell into a good defensive unit. So, patients is going to be the rule on defense here. I'm just hoping I can finally get a Baltimore type defense-finally!!!! I hope. But it's going to take a re-build. It's not there now.

You forgot he will be working for the lame duck HC , unless they pull of a championship.

True but one thing about Big Mike. I doubt if he's in there messing around with the defense. So, whoever it will be hopefully will be on their own. Minus what Jerry may be doing behind the scene. Just ridiculous that this has to be even worried about. As I said-minus playoffs- the offense will be just fine. I just think they'll have to hold the team above water for most of the season. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see the defense doing anything early in the season. And if Jerry doesn't go all in? Not going to matter.

Yeah I'm going to feel sorry for a guy given this much talent.

 

[Asklesko]

He's going to be wiping his tears with Jerry's dollar bills

Dallas so called talent isn't real talent. That's why we fail in the playoffs when we face talent. We have Dak and CeeDee on offense. Oline is way overrated. Ferguson is showing promise. Pollard is just a lightweight gadget guy playing RB. Yet Dak in the regular season puts up great numbers with this McCarthy doesn't use Turpin as he should be used. Especially running him deep. And as I said on defense "What talent"??? Minus corners and Micah. And Micah doesn't show up as talent every game. Again. That's the biggest misconception going within Dallas. That they have all this talent. I say "not". And the playoffs prove it every year. All the games we lost were BIG to top teams. What talent????

There aren't going to be a lot of guys wanting to pick up and move to Dallas knowing they could be moving again next year when MM gets fired.

I've said it for years, stats schmats!, this is a perennially overrated roster.

And if I am wrong, and this roster is as good as all the pundits say they are, then the coaching staff is forever overrated. Garrett, McCarthy, Quinn...all of them. I'm 100% confident that Cowboys coaches are routinely out-schemed and outcoached in almost every Big Game. I KNOW the coaches hold this team back from succeeding (ineffective Big Game schemes, too many penalties, etc.), but probably the roster does too (a roster with no impactful LBs, inconsistent o-line, DTs too small to stop the run, a FS not able to make plays in the passing game).

So, maybe an overrated roster PLUS ineffective coaching???

3 12-5 seasons say you have no clue about talent. The lack of “talent” is in the coaching staff and executive staff.

, unless they pull of a championship.

And by "pull off a championship" he means win a wild card game before losing in the divisional round.

That's OUR version of a championship.

Other than Washington having to build out its coaching staff are there any other open positions left? DC in Baltimore? I imagine plenty of people would want the job.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Mahomes scored 17 in a Divisional Playoff game and WON! No point's at all the 2nd Half. How did you think he won? Even Mahomes said "my defense is so good I had to learn how to play without hurting them". Again. For the millionth time! GET ME A DEFENSE!!!!!!

Or the next HC if he does well but the team loses.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Any DC that comes in has to know that if he does well with the defense and the Joneses he has a good shot to be the next HC even if the team fails.

Say Vrabel were to come in and Dak lays another egg.

 

[beware_d-ware]

There is a lot more good than bad on this defense.

IMO, there are four starters who'd ball out even if Rowdy was calling plays (Parsons, DLaw, Osa, Diggs), and a couple starters who've looked good but might be a little more DQ scheme specific (Bland, Wilson). Then there are some decent pieces like Hooker, Fowler, etc sprinkled around the roster. The defense doesn't have 11 studs on it, but it's got a lot more talent than most teams. Especially teams with DC vacancies. Dallas is a very good opening.

MM needs to be a mad scientist on the offensive side of the ball
