Twitter: Mike McCarthy talks Cowboys Defensive Changes

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Works for me. keep the top 5 offense while getting rid of the mediocre defense and awful ST.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

This I like. He’s doing a good job so far. I’m concerned about that offense (might be our weak spot next year) but if he can build up the rest of the team, we have nothing to worry about

 

[TheHerd]

Sounds like we may not be passing on any more great defensive players due to scheme fit

".......to fit any excellent football player into our program"

Sound a little ominous for some dudes on the bubble.

Too bad he wasn't coach when TJ Watt was available.

I read it as their system has to be flexible enough to take in a guy that think can play.

Like, they wouldn’t turn their back on TJ Watt while our staff did.

Just need some killers at the three and five and a safety and let’s do this.

 

[garyo1954]

Jerry is approving any changes. He's too old to learn a new offense and defense. Sometimes you have to wonder why he hasn't wandered into the nearest Walmart and gotten lost.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Wow Jerry and stephen didn't tell us what system we were gonna run it was actually a coach this time. I don't know what to do with myself.

Hopefully this puts an end to the 3-4 nonsense

And get the big strong boys in the middle.

It’s nice to hear someone identify the problem for once rather than constantly tweaking the offense.

 

[Bowdown27]

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING TO BEHOLD.
an actual honest-to-goodness football coach making decisions.
IT'S......INDESCRIBABLY BEAUTIFUL.

I was about to say similar. Its fantastic to hear all this

 

[Kwyn]

So we hired an Offense minded coach to take care of the defense?

We hired a head coach to take care of the entire team.

 

[Kwyn]

Wasn't it mentioned that McCarthy teams run a hybrid 4-3 / 3-4 defense?

Is it possible you’re recalling talk about Nolan? That’s his style so it is reasonable to attribute it to McCarthy now that they are together

 

[Kwyn]

WE HAVE ESCAPED...LIKE A BIRD OUT OF THE FOWLERS SNARE.
THE SNARE HAS BEEN BROKEN AND WE HAVE ESCAPED.

Getting biblical on us

 

[Floatyworm]

Hopefully this puts an end to the 3-4 nonsense

........Teams that run that...just don't get it. They are in a constant mismatch when trying to match up in coverage...and end up in some form of a 4 man front anyway....w/ personnel not suited for it.

That's precisely what he's saying. I hope it's not just coach speak, but a legit philosophy.

X Woods better be one of them. He needs to soak his mitts in Palmolive to soften them up so he doesn’t drop a damned sure INT.

 

[Fredbeard]

This scheme need to be wide enough to accept rookie Trysten Hill who will make that second-year jump and become active on game day

Small steps .you dont want to put to much on hill too soon

Music to my ears
