Is Dan Quinn really all that good?

[Grenic]

The shine started coming off Quinn when Parsons started slowing down this year

Yep both are about useless now

 

[stilltheguru]

He’s working short handed in the secondary, having said that, Doug Pederson absolutely abused him

You mean Quinn didn't scheme up Barr on Kirk?

 

[Starforever]

You guys all over the map week to week. You don't know what to believe.

Dan Quinn's only one good defensive performance away from being a must retain at all cost again.

Don't forget about Moore; unless he's already locked in for next year.

 

[Starforever]

I feel like Quinn hasn’t adapted to the fact two of his three top CB’s are out. Why is KJ in man coverage? The Jags obviously targeted him. But no adjustment. Despite the fact we had no pass rush. This loss is on DQ and the D. Offense did more than enough. Hey Micah, wake up!! Hey Tank, wake up!

You hardly ever see our safeties in the frame during long pass attempts. It is always some DB being toasted, buttered and devoured.

I agree. Our CB’s need safety help. And today the secondary looked lost.

All I know is we’re starting to cough up big leads similar to what was happening when he was in Atlanta. Obviously, the injuries have played a part. You can tell the love affair some fans had with Quinn has waned.

 

[Pevansjr]

This nonsensical take needs to end. The Cowboys absolutely have addressed DT. They’ve used significant draft capital on it almost every year for years. They brought in Watkins and Hankins. To say they’re not addressing it is just willful ignorance. The issue is WHO they’ve taken and HOW they’ve addressed it.

I agree on Hankins. Other than that to say they have seriously addressed this issue is willful ignorance. Or you are a new fan.

Going into October, Dallas was able to generate pressure without blitzing a lot. They got pressure vie stunting. They were actually leading the league by a wide margin.

Basically Dallas was able to generate pressure without compromising their backfield.

Dallas was actually even leading the league in running cover 2.

Dan Quinn really all that good?

I think a lot of people were hot to trot for him because of the "Legion of Boom", and no doubt he deserves some credit there but I'm beginning to wonder if that was as much Pete Carroll as it was Quinn. Carroll is a defensive guy too, has been a lot longer than Quinn.

And it looks to me like Lovie Smith schooled him last week, and this week his D got torched by a rookie QB. I would think a really good DQ would have a better game plan than that.

 

[SoMizzUnderstood]

I mean think about it tho, this is a guy who, as a head coach, led a legendary Super Bowl meltdown

That still worries be about Quinn. Also Ryan, he had another epic collapse against Vikings yesterday like the SB.

 

[JoeKing]

Dan Quinn is not really all that good and we don't want him at HC where he is even worse.

 

[CWR]

Lol this is too much like last year. We were all up in arms about losing our coaches mid season, cause they were fire. By the end of the year it was a different story.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

The way the defense didn’t actually bother to show up this week, as well as last week when the godawful Texans drove up and down the field, and the awful Colts had an almost amazing offensive performance until the last like 5 mins of the game, this is a question that needs to be asked….. is Dan Quinn really all that good? I mean we have been giving up a TON of yards and points lately.

giving up leads.

 

[Creeper]

It looks like Quinn is a great defensive coach when he has all his players healthy. When he has to use 5 backups on defense he is no genius. Go figure.

But seriously, I think Quinn is okay but he got a lot better when the drafted Parsons. With Parsons disappearing in games not Quinn's defense looks a lot less formidable.

 

[SoBlue128]

Quinn is good but there is only so much scheme you can do based on what you have. The DT’s we have our backups or rotational players on solid teams.

 

[Tabascocat]

The defensive talent has decreased over the last month or so. There is only so much he can do when injuries pile up. With that said, I never wanted him as a HC.

....amazing we get a double digit lead...and forget what a blitz is.

 

[BKBDAD]

I think the injuries are starting to take their toll. Not to mention the interior DL has failed to be addressed in any serious fashion, but that's been the case well before DQ ever got here. I think we've all kind of known the run game has been a weakness for a while and they've done pretty much nothing to seriously address this. At this point in the season not really anything we can do about it.

C’MON MAN! Everyone has injuries and by and large, the Cowboys are in pretty good shape! If you believe that stopping the run is most important, then we need to line up 5-6 players on the line of scrimmage and STOP the run! If we need to stop the pass, we drop 7 guys back! We have the personnel to do anything we were doing the 1st 10 weeks of the season but where has her has everyone gone?
THE COWBOYS PROBLEM IS DESIRE, RESPONSIBILITY & HAVING THE FIRE IN THE BELLY TO WIN AT ALL COSTS! Dak is still, after SEVEN years in the league, still talking about learning from his mistakes, nullifying those mistakes and getting better! WHAT A ***KING JOKE! DAK never takes responsibility for poor play & for a QB making 40 mil. per season, the Cowboys should be getting better production! McCarthy is a puppet & doesn’t have the balls to call guys out for piss poor play! Where is our pass rush, why can’t Dak hit the 2nd or 3rd look without throwing a misfired pass? The Boys haven’t won a damn thing since 1995!!!’ They need an owner, a GM, a Coach & players who care nothing about the past & only care about winning Super Bowls NOW!! None of the coaches & players today have won ANYTHING! NOTHING!! ZERO!! Today’s Cowboys look around hoping someone else will do the job instead of saying I’m going to get it done! EXCEPTION OF POLLARD! KId plays his *** *** off every day!

I love how you can flip a thread about defense and DQ into a Dak hate speech. I we stack the box, they are going to roast Kelvin Joseph, If we pull back in into coverage the other team is running right up the middle and gaining 5 a run.

I dont know, we have a bunch of injuries right now but we are coughing up leads left and right...............that is the same thing that happened when he was in Atlanta.

People always mention that SB loss to Brady, but Atlanta was blowing leads in the regular season as well when Quinn was there.

Its concerning because you start seeing a pattern develop, same thing with Matt Ryan, dude is just always blowing leads. Maybe Quinn and Ryan will never be the same after that SB, losing the biggest game of all time in such a crushing fashion stays with you, probably forever.
