Maybe the defense is not as good as we thought?

[cowboys5xsbs]

They started with the doomsday 2.0 crap and let it get to their heads

We are good at rushing passer. But weakness is linebackers against the run. LVE is slow and late to react. Clark is a jag imo. Overshawn was going to be a replacement but if course he’s hurt

 

[Asklesko]

This is a 'hot boyzz' defense that believed the hype and thought they were going to come in with low effort and got spanked by the Cardinals run game and Josh Dobbs

You can take the hot boyzz off of this defense but not the hot boyzz out of this defense

I couldnt believe my eyes.....following LVE. Seemed like he was always chasing someone or the play was over when he arrived. He had a chance to make a classic bone crushing LBer tackle at line of scrimmage and wiffed.
Weird.

 

[lopey]

This isn’t an elite defense. But I think we’re better than what we showed today. The whole team just wasn’t prepared to play.

You can bully this D. They are fast but not very stout when it comes to brawling. SF and Philly are brawling smash mouth running teams

 

[EenonyMoose]

Perpetually thinking you're better than you are is what happens when the front office is also the marketing department.

 

[CowboyRoy]

We looked dominant against two teams who have horrible offenses, then they give up 28 points today

Did anyone tell you that our pro bowl CB got hurt this week and is out for the year? You must have missed that one.
Injuries count!

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know Diggs being out was the reason they ran all over us

Losing Diggs obviously killed their mojo and they folded. Can it be any more obvious? Go ahead and rewatch the game if you like. The linebackers in particular checked out completely. Jogging around and loafing.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

This defense's forte is speed. When they can pin their ears back and attack opposing QB's with their athletic speed rushers, they shine.

When our offense is clicking, and the team has a lead, this defense looks great. When the other team is in control and playing a power game, that is when this defense struggles. Not a whole lot different than last season.

And that's a good excuse? Sounds mentally weak,Lol I'm sure you have an excuse for everything playboi

Exactly, mentally weak!!

Good excuse? LOL

If you say so. To me its as pathetic as it gets. They completely folded.

Do I have to explain everything to you clownboi?

It was like 14-10 halfway through the second and the defense held Cardinals to 0 in the third and Dak could only manage a FG. Then it was 21-16 into the 4th.

More than winnable game for Mr. Field Goal Dak Prescott

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

What would Dak have done?

Explain?

Look what Daniel Jones did to the cards. What did Dak do?

Jones has less weapons and less of a line. But Dak is better?

Some of you are so delusional

There two different players for your first question

No need to explain, What did dak do to Daniel Jones ? See how that works

I have to go now , playing with dumb animals bores me to tears, and I'm all out of tissue

 

[IceStar-D7]

I pay more attention to our defense then anybody. I told you guys they are not the 85 Bears. We have no physical linebackers or safety's IMHO. Upfront we have a lot of guys trying to be glorified pass rushers versus run stoppers. Minus Hankins. Taco 2.0

Not having a Physical MLB will be the death of us against run teams.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

...Upfront we have a lot of guys trying to be glorified pass rushers versus run stoppers....

This is a philosophical choice by management- it's how they've chosen to build the D-line, for better or worse. Athletic speed rushers vs. power contain players.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Defense can't win the game every week. Sometimes the Quarterback needs to take over when the Defense has an off day.

That’s a lot of bread, someone has to be able to make the sandwiches.

That's what a few of us were saying last week, but we were ignored. Beating 2 bad offenses with terrible OL's doesn't mean squat. Do it against a good offense, then we buy in. They did the same thing last year, killing the bad teams.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Lotta O-line problems yesterday - pretty much all stemming from injuries to frontline players
