No this team will not recover

Undersized players should still be able to tackle. I'm not buying it.

We aren't undersized (well we MIGHT be)... we lack heart, discipline, and accountability.

When you can't get fired for not doing your job, you won't. Starts from the top down.

Really. Bell is 225 lbs dude. He is a safety. Man is going to get run over by 320 lb dudes

But ... but ... Quinn is a genius and Mazi was our No. 1 pick!!!!

I say this time and time again.
Bad games happen and it sucks, but if your defenses loses in 2023, you rather it be via running.

They lined up in Nickel defense and got ran all over and act surprised. I think this team is good enough to respond. I really wish they would start the game with Sam Williams/Fowler/D-law on the edge and Micah in the middle.

I saw Sean Payton dog cuss Wilson on the Broncos sideline . Wouldn’t mind seeing a little Mike Tomlin stare down as they trudge off the field after ANOTHER roughing the Punter first down give away or a Terrence Steele matador try out . Something from hamburger helper Mike .

Yes, if you look at the Eagles, they can't stop the pass with the game on the line. The Chiefs should have beat them too.

It’s not like I listen to everyone who gets paid to talk football, but practically all of them agree the Cowboys are undersized upfront. We’re built for rushing the passer, but not stopping the run. This is why we’re losing battles in the trenches. Our guys are getting manhandled upfront. Granted we tackled poorly on Sunday but that’s not why we’re having difficulty stopping the run.

We're not just getting manhandle up front.

We can't tackle in space. Even NFL "undersized" players should know how to tackle and not get bounced off by a running back.....incessantly.

How the hell are you used to that?

He is OLD....that's how,

Grocery shopping at the draft . OLine and Linebackers who can help seal edge . To be honest I’m underwhelmed by 33 .

It's like these crybabies want everybody to agree with them. I'm leaving and I want all you guys to come with me, and all they hear is crickets.

Bye, hasta la Vista, don't let the door hit you in the Azz ! What makes you guys think that us REAL Ones want you Taking up valuable space on the band wagon ?

AGAIN , C-YA !!!!!

In the three butt whippings we have been.

“They’re undefeated at home. But in three of their four losses, they have been thumped. Manhandled. Embarrassed. “

My point was we have players elsewhere that can't tackle. But yes...up front is where it all starts.

I did see some articles about that yes.


The soft o-line lets the runners get a head of steam. And then the rest of us can't tackle.
