so what's the reasoning for that? no trust in the young DBs?

This means they have no faith in their safeties, which is insane since these are guys who have been here for 3 years.

I just don't have faith our coaches (all three main ones) have what it takes to right the ship if their original game plan doesn't work in the playoffs. It's a crappy feeling...they are holding this team back from its fullest potential. But you can't complain after the talent on this team lead you to 12-4 I guess

You call that type of defense when you are leading not when you are behind. Totally idiotic giving up 5-10 yard passes to avoid the big play when you need the ball back. Lets just let them dink and dunk and hold the ball for 8+ minutes while we are down by 18.

That's a very simplistic analysis.

You aren't giving up 5-10 yard passes merely because the corners *start* the play 10 yards off the ball. The time required for a quarterback to prepare to pass the ball and the time for it to travel in the air is close to a second...and a CB can often close 10 yards in that time.

There are valid arguments against this type of coverage, but any real analysis must start with a better foundation than what you are saying.

They're not wanting to get beat by big plays. Having the corners off 7-10yds to start simply gives up slants, crossing, outs & picks...... So you're protecting against a QB not known for deep accuracy & playing to his strengths.

Of course our secondary is a maligned **** show to start with.....staff was trying to protect certain areas or simply mailed it in-which isn't that far fetched!

Scandrick out. Awuzie and Carroll out in the first two series.

That left TWO corners to play the rest of the game in high altitude, including a rookie that hasn't played a snap yet as a Cowboy even in preseason.

Marinelli was in a tough spot.

This is the type of D you play against the great QBs bc they will beat you deep. When you play average QBs you make them earn every yard. Let's lose going all out and making Siemian be accurate on the deep ball

Said the same thing the whole ******* game. Rod needs to either change his ******** zone off scheme and attack and blitz more or step aside. Would love to see what some other coaches could do with this team.

1:08 mark scares me a little with Jaylon. It looked like he read it and was going to get there a lot faster then he did. Little concerning.

The video was going to be where he was going to do a film breakdown on Jourdan Lewis but goes off on how the scheme and how bad the coaches are doing with the secondary....


Absolutely Nailed it. Every Cowboys fan wondering what the **** went wrong last sunday here it is. Terrible defensive coaching and scheme.
