I remember how jealous I used to be of the Giants a decade or so ago w Pierre Paul, Osi, Tuck. They had rushers coming from all over. Very fun DL to watch.

Now here we are DLaw, Gregory, Osa, Gallimore, Parsons and guys like Armstrong, Hill, Basham, Golston, Watkins of FB the bench.

Younger folks soak it up. You will be remembering this fondly when you’re turning grey.
 
You referenced 4 horsemen then listed 10 players....and while others may disagree DLaw isn't a horseman but rather horses--t....

They also had Strahan and then drafted Kiwi from BC. We better keep drafting cuz DLaw will be 30 and Gregory is a FA and close to 30.

Lol, there are usually 4 up there at a time. Big contract aside, we are a better team when DLaw is healthy.

The 2 games that DLaw has been back has seen the following combined rushing stats against Dallas (for those that say DLaw may not be pass rushing like he once was but he is a great run defender):

49 attempts 253 Yards 5.16 YPA

So the Dallas run defense has given up more than 100 yards twice in the 2 games since DLaw returned....so not sure how DLaw is aiding the defense as people may think.

So, for a $25M cap hit in 2021 DLaw has given Dallas:

3 games 9 tackles 1 sack 1 forced fumble

Hell of a financial return on investment right there.

Please take time to soak this in. You rarely see this kind of talent.

lol. Taysom hill makes up the bulk of that yardage once NO decided they couldn't do anything else and ran him like 4 plays in a row. Now granted those plays were successful, but moreso out of desperation. Meanwhile Mark Ingram had 10 carries for 28 yards. Then the WFT had a 100 yards rushing total as a team. with their vaunted rb Gibson tallying 10 carries for 36 yards.

One of those games was pretty atypical. T. Hill rushed for 100 yards on us. We were below our season average in yards given up on the ground Sunday.

DLaw in those 2 games - 4 tackles, 1 sack, 2 PD, 3 QB hits, 2 TFL. That’s not terrible at all.

he should like Bowles this is chance for him to be part of something he helped build and staying 2-3 seasons until its finished product would be best instead of anther HC stop..he can get more exposure, respect, credit, and money as a Cowboy DC then HC just anywhere..

Wasn't the Giants infamous rush group of Pierre Paul, Osi, Tuck called " NASCAR " .... ??
 
So I'll just guess as to which of those 10 guys you listed you're calling the 4 horsemen.
Parsons, Gregory, D-Law and Gallimore.
 
Anyone else notice Gregory rushing from an inside spot in nickel?

I hadn't noticed that before....but, as the OP mentioned, it did remind me of the Giants packages when they had essentially four edge type players guys rushing, and they would get there.

If we can consistently get home when rushing four on 3rd down.....we are going to be ok.
