Wonder why he used 11 sacks as the cut off point in his article. Hmmmmm

Nobody can answer that, but the leaderboard linked to in the article has 11 sacks as the cut off point. Coinicdence?

Sheldon Rankins is a perfect fit for this defense, can anchor when needed and push the pocket on passing downs. Of course this means he will not be a Cowboy in '16.

Someone mentioned talent. Once there is enough talent and pressure inside and out you will start seeing cracks in the dam. I'd like to see them resign Hardy and move him inside.

Interesting take, given that the article was all about defensive tackles, not defensive ends.

It was written as our pass rush isn't good enough and maybe we need to forget about the ends and look to the tackles.

Maybe we need to wait and see about these ends considering both just played their first season and one of the two with a high ankle sprain. Not to mention our 3 tech playing with one arm. Tough to evaluate what's lacking in that circumstance.

Interesting that you didn't pick up on all that.

Dallas needs a big FA DT and DE. If they go it the season with the starting dl of dlaw Hayden Crawford and Gregory they aren't going to do anything post season wise.

The exact thing you're onjecting to is covered in the piece:

Yet despite their low sack totals, it's not all doom and gloom for the Cowboys. DeMarcus Lawrence turned a lot of heads with his eight sacks last year, Randy Gregory showed promise, Jack Crawford surprised with four sacks, and Tyrone Crawford notched five sacks despite effectively playing with just one arm for most of the season. And opponents have taken notice, at least according to Troy Aikman, who gave an interview on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket and said some coaches he talked to thought Dallas' front seven was best they'd seen all season:

I'm not here to defend that site, but it's obvious that you didn't even read the article. I have completely lost interest in discussing this further.

I did read the article. I fart at it's general premise.

It's tough to say a team needs to "re-think" their pass rush when they haven't seen what their first thought has done yet. Unless you think what you saw in Lawrence, Gregory and even Crawford is all they'll ever do.

Maybe the fan boy who wrote it should "re-think" before he writes.

Pick up on a splintered snapshot that incorporates very little accumulated logic beyond a sounding board excuse...yea contemplate on that one. If one doesn't first need a decoder ring...
