Respectfully will disagree, even with LVE the D had its issues. Now he def played better but if this defense wants to go to the next level, its has to upgrade the MLBer position and for the past zillion years DT.

As for Clark, not seeing it - yes he missed training camp, coming off injury and is a rookie - I still think he's too tentative.
Ya, i agree on Clark.

I just watched the whole game on the ALL 22 and he isn't instinctive, to passive, and not physical enough.

Still early for him but I was hoping to see more flashes from him...seems he is content to make tackles 5 yards down field.

Hopefully with experience he will improve.
He is a rookie who missed all of camp ,preseason games and a good number of regular season games as well.

It's been an awesome season and it looks like we might have a bright future.

The future does look bright to me as well. We are building a great defence, and we have a nice team. I think if we can get healthy and fix the run defence, I think we have a team can be very good to great for many years.

Don't get why we waited so long to get TY, and definitely think we should have added Joseph as well as Hankins but otherwise, can't hate what they've done here recently.
It looks like the T Y Hilton signing will workout perfectly.

The Cowboys would have a better team had they hung onto Amari Cooper and made more solid moves during the offseason. James Washington has been a wasted signing. The Hankins move was good but too bad he got hurt.
I disagree about Amari Cooper. Getting him out of the door opened up the door for Lamb and they plan on having Lamb around for a long time.

They should have been a little more proactive and willing to take some risks to shore up the run defense. Roquan with was there for the taking.
Only took the 3rd reply to crap on a great point. About average for this place.

You’ve not been paying attention to the games or you would have seen the drop off when LVE went out.

I'm not worried about the defense. They know what they are doing. The Cowboys might get beat in the playoffs, but it won't be easy to beat them. They are very good.

No doubt, but I do think the run defence could be a bit better. Overall though, this is a fantastic team.

I will also point out that some of their nonsignings have been well done too. The not signing Randy Gregory, Lael Collins, and OBJ have been good passes from the FO. Gregory has been invisible this season and just got suspended. Collins has been crap with the Bengals, and OBJ is a mess. They took criticism for these passes, but they were smart decisions.

Ya i am hoping but unfortunately, this is the stuff I saw on his college tape as well.

I wasn't thrilled with what I saw but everyone else was so i remained optimistic. I think he may be a better nickle than anything else, hope i am wrong.
