Marinelli on pash rush and Tank Lawrence

[RS12]

I'll tell ya what, with the way that this secondary makes adjustments, if they even get a hint of a pass rush, they could be very respectable. Not dominant, mind you, but respectable.

 

[Cowboyz88]

With this young core, adding a legitimate DL and additional WR gets us in the Super Bowl conversation.

Sadly, I don't think it's this year, but it's coming soon.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Looking forward to seeing what a DL of Tank, Collins, McClain, and Crawford can do.

A crippled walrus would get more pressure than this group. So, it can't really be any worse with Lawrence returning.

The club really needs one bloodthirsty...QB hating passrusher...a Haley...someone to lead the defense...add that and watch out.

Cowboys need LB'rs and DE's this offseason

I think DT, CB and S are pretty good

Weak links are LB and DE

Was 93 a mistake signing? Dude hasn't really shown anything at all.

Hoping Lawrence turns out to be that guy. It's not going to be next week (he's not even in football shape). If he starts to round the corner by the 3rd week of October, I'm good.

Crippled Walrus..lol good one and sadly, an insult to the Walrus. lol. This poor defense will be the weak link for the club. Th FO needs to stiffen it up through the draft in the off season.

He will certainly help. But the long term answer is in the next couple of drafts.

Getting Tank back won't cure our pass rush ills.

I'm betting my plan to go all defense next years draft gets more backing this week.

man i don't know, as much as I agree with you that it would help it really feels like this d-line needs substantially more talent. I just don't think one monster of a player would be enough, our d-line is so bad

if we could get just 1 mediocre DE, 1 mediocre DT, and that one monster, we'd probably start making more noise in the opponent's backfield

And the team is 3-1 without anyone that can really rush the passer or command a double team. We have been starting several guys like Jack Crawford and Mayowa that have been below average starters but are guys that will be above average backups.

Not only will DLaw give you someone opponents have to scheme for, but you will suddenly have quality depth. DLaw coming back is going to be a big story after the next couple of games.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Still wish we had signed Freeney.

 

[Aven8]

I will admit at times it looks awful. However, similar to 2014 this D makes plays at the best times. The flush out by English Crawford made Gabbert hurry the throw. The Wilcox cover of Kerly?? Who the hell in there right mind would think he could cover him!?!?! But again, in the 4th straight game made a huge play!

Just close your eyes and imagine if Jaylon Smith recovers. He will instantly be a superstar

Agreed. One killer is not enough. Its the start. The club needs to concentrate on the defense for two drafts and they need to hit on some players. DE is a must. LB's ... DT's and corners. The defense has been too long neglected. Give Prescott and Elliott the defense they need to win.

We had our version of Haley last year in Hardy. Didn't work.

Valerie's won't cure herpes but it will help.

Its a nice hought. But, in reality its a long shot. He was an outstanding College player when he had two legs.
