It was a complete failure from top to bottom, everyone included. This issue was the main problem last yr and they need to fix it. If it means moving Parsons away from DE so be it, if it means they have to go get a legitimate defensive tackle, make it happen.
Yup, When Campo was the coach. Zimmer's D allowed three 200+ yard rushers in a season. But to be fair, that was a while ago.
He won't be able to fix it until we bring in better personnel at DT. The DE's setting the edge is sabotaged by poor DT play. When the DT's are getting pushed back at the snap(and they are), there is nothing the DE's can do. If they hold outside, the RBs run right by them. If the DE's crash in to protect, they RB's go outside.
Not small, it's even worse. They are under talented and limited athletically.
Exactly my point is all sports are a lot of averages you have to play the entire schedule to let things ebb and flow and they work themselves out and then you can get a bigger picture of what you really have but these coaches need a chance to adjust to the players and the players to adjust to them and then to figure out how to get on a roll you remember after the San Francisco game last year that's when our offense finally figured it out now Mike McCarthy is part of the issue here with his play calling as well with the run game and not being aggressive down the field and kinda weird it seems like the same thing happened last year he was counting on the defense to be better and has these really weird game management like just not trying to make mistakes type of offense..
you won't say that once OSA makes his one HUGE per game tackle for loss, you won't say that!!! Lol (I hear ya though). We have to do something about Mazi, not sure I see this kid getting any better
no but so we don't have to spend big money and good draft picks on another DT, we go cheap
Right but Joseph and Phillip sat all offseason they're just now big fatties trying to get into shape , and like I said before that's the entire team coming out of the preseason with not a lot of work together I mean I hope they get lost in and eventually dalvin cook I mean this team has not figured out its identity yet and I remember Mike Zimmer just saying in his press conference they ran a whole different offense than they were expecting when they looked at the first game and was using that as a scouting tool to put the game plan in they came out and ran a completely different offense.
Nope, as far as Jerry and kid are concerned, they spent a first on Mazi, a third each on Osi and Golston, as well as several late picks on DTs, so they have done their part.
Mazi never was good, not even in college. Never did see why people thought he was worthy of the 1st round, and this from a guy who is constantly screaming for better DT's!!!!!!!
This is why I wanted a strong minded HC who has the clout to tell them this is what he needs.
Here I thought we had good scouts
It does mean that, absolutely no doubt.
The word is that we do, but Jerry drafts who he wants. It's not the scout's job to run the draft, they only evaluate players.
Ok well tell him to get that stupid jet out and go to all the colleges himself if it's going to be this way sheesh
And he's admitted that he refuses to watch game tape of possible incoming draftees!!!!!!!!!!!! What a GM!!!!!!
Excellent response. Clearly they were outcoached.
The season is a long journey, the hope is they get better as the season progresses and play their best football late. Not just the Cowboys, but many teams are figuring it out now.
Hopefully Lawson, Phillips and Joseph find a niche here and zims gets it together, lie jerry said better to have bad games in the RS but find it before the playoffs.
