Yes.the middle/early round misses in the draft are hurting the team now.Man we were all duped into believing Damone Clark and Jabril Cox were going to be dominant LBs here
Just watch. Terrible performance at Middle LB by Damone Clark. He has no business playing at that position, arguably even on defense. He is afraid to attack, hit hard or even wrap up. Cowboys need someone else at Middle LB.
Not all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!Man we were all duped into believing Damone Clark and Jabril Cox were going to be dominant LBs here
loved both those picks at the time.Man we were all duped into believing Damone Clark and Jabril Cox were going to be dominant LBs here

but he's been very disappointing.

Man I wonder about all these guys they all look small out there. I think Kendrick’s is the prototype size. Probably gonna have another defensive based draft next season and a new DC….Is Kendrick’s the prototypical size MLB he looks small ? I see him getting buried in blocks quite often as the running back is blowing by the DT’s. Long term Kendrick’s especially past 30 is not the answer to the quiz either .
I hate to say this but the entire front 7 can use help in the draft and or FA . Overshown and Liafau look set on the wings at LB but Dallas has really no depth .
Yeah I’m certainly not gonna praise Clark for his play last season but this game I can’t say he was terrible.I watched up until the Montgomery td (mostly on mute - I’d rather trust my own analysis then listen to a guy who is admittedly not a football player) and so far it looks like a lot of nitpicking, and I need to emphasize I’ve been one of Clark’s biggest critics.
I stopped at Montgomery’s TD. The whole defensive line got blown 5 yards off the ball. I mean sure if I wanted to I could find a critique of Clark on the play but when your line is consistently getting whipped and the coach is consistently getting outschemed whats the point?
- first play he does hesitate to shoot the gap, but Diggs also has the blocker on his backside already, there’s no way the runner should have got to the edge against either player.
- second play is completely on 27, we’re back to the Byron Jones days of CBs having no idea where the ball is.
- third play, for Lord knows what reason we run a DT stunt on an obvious run down. The tackles take themselves out of the play and now Detroit has 4 blockers on 3 defenders, you cant make this up
I think you’re thinking of Jabril Cox who also was from LSU?and a couple of years ago we thought we had steal of the draft!!!
It may be a joke but I think the truth is somewhere between pff and what this guy is saying. He’s going hard. Him letting up is a criticism sure but he was reading the plays well. Terrible is a stretch we saw terrible from him last year.PFF is a joke. Whomever they got judging tape, they get it wrong many times. This armchair QB got it right in what he reviewed.
There’s a built-in pass for Clark given the neck injury he came back from, so I’ll resist questioning his “heart.”
That said, if you’re physically compromised you shouldn’t be on the field.
You can almost see him easing up as he approaches the ball carrier to make contact. Overshown didn’t play a fantastic game either but you can see the ferocity he plays the game with. Clark plays like a 200 lb safety.
Tbh everyone looked awful
Correct. It's because Jerry is so bad(and I mean horrific) at player evaluation, that he has to take chances on players that are good but hurt.Perhaps the Cowboys shouldn’t have drafted a linebacker with a bad back.
Cowboys had a fetish for drafting hurt Lb’s.
Jaylon, LVE, Damone Clark.
Yup. Typical Jerry DlineI watched up until the Montgomery td (mostly on mute - I’d rather trust my own analysis then listen to a guy who is admittedly not a football player) and so far it looks like a lot of nitpicking, and I need to emphasize I’ve been one of Clark’s biggest critics.

Clark = Jeff Heath. They are both good when they are right there to make a play before the ball carrier can make a move. But they are terrible in space as they simply don't turn well, which means they are easy to put a move on.Yeah I’m certainly not gonna praise Clark for his play last season but this game I can’t say he was terrible.
