I don’t disagree at all. They need to do those things to be truly a good defense.yes defense played fairly well
Yes defense should get better over the season
Yes turnovers are important
BUT
defences that RELY on turnovers are one hit wonders
a great defense relies on
stopping the run
Collapse the pocket up the middle
Take away the middle of the field
Discipline and sound tackling
let’s see if we have these over the season
I do think they’ll do those things, but like you said somewhere yesterday, we need to see those things consistently over the first 5 games or so in order to say they’re good.
Now, if they can do those things plus get a lot of turnovers… Dallas will win a lot of games.
They focused so much on turnovers in camp (which they’ve done before) and they’ve filled the secondary with guys who have ball skills (which they haven’t done before), that frankly, I expect to be in the top 10 in turnovers.
IMO, if you get guys who have always found the ball, they will continue to find the ball.
It’s going to be interesting to watch the defense in this first month or so.
