Osa Odighizuwa vs Jalen Carter

[Mr_437]

Overall I would agree with this, but not the bolded part. OSA is the main cog in the middle of our defense, and the double team metrics support this. Carter is a much more well rounded player than OSA and I'm not trying to suggest otherwise, but this is exactly why its so frustrating if we go into another season with Mazi Smith starting next to him. Philly has done such a nice job in recent years of creating depth at the DT position. The Cowboys so far have failed to get OSA a partner who can take advantage of teams paying attention to him.

Pimp, do you know the % of snaps Osa is double teamed?

LOL actually about the same

Thanks @Hawkeye0202
Intersting. Osa needs some help Y'all!!!

Exact? No, but most of the metrics sites have him around 60%, similar to Carter.

Is Dak really healthy?
Can Booker hold up vs the best DTs in the league?
Did the run defense improve?
Can this team perform under the bright lights?
Is Shotty a good game manager?

I agree, it's just one game, but we can take away something, at least for one game. If Booker plays a good game my confidence in him would go up tremendously.

It’s a great building block game to gauge where you are after preseason. Also gonna be nice to see how they play after seeing Philly put their banner up

Yeah, just saw the chart, that's crazy. No slight to Mazi, but the Cowboys have to find a 1T that can cause havoc if he's singled up.

This is interesting. Are we missing something? There is no way we were seeing the same dominance from Osa. Then again, maybe we are, but it's lost behind other defensive issues.

Yeah, Eagles called wanting to trade Carter for Osa straight up and Jerry hung up on them

LOL

First game of the season is extended preseason…means nothing.

Agree but if you’re Dallas, and in this particular case, don’t you try to gain any advantage you can by maybe at the very least allowing the starting OL a couple of series together?

These division games are important if they have designs on getting anywhere.

Well look at who is next to osa vs who is next to carter.... This explains a lot
