Our Pass Rush still is our weakness

As great as things seem, we must get to the QB. Cowboys pressure has been inept. Stats inflated a bit by having big leads. Obvious passing downs. If they lose tonight, .. if .. I say the pass rush will be the reason. Watch early if Wentz gets too much time. It will dictate the game's final score..

Defense has been exposed because the offense hasn't won the TOP battle.

Of course it's our weakness, but short of a trade, there's nothing we can do this season.

We just don't have the hosses.

Eh, but it's even harder to get to the qb when he's dinking and dunking. He had 32 completions and didn't even hit 300 yards. Ball comes out quickly with Wentz.

We got pressure in the 4th quarter when it mattered most. Overall the DL has been better than expected this season, but does need another de to put them over the top. If im Jerry im on the phone seeing who is available. It seems Wake may be the best option, but I would be surprised if they made that move.

If we had a terror at DE, I'd think we be a SB favorite.

But the pass rush is going to hurt us against teams in the playoffs that have good QBs.

Exactly, because Garrett and/or Linehan are trying to be too cute again with passing game. Run in the frigging red zone for Pete's sake.

Every time in the red zone they were taking Zeke out for no reason at all

Every team has a weakness. Try to enjoy being 6-1, at least for a moment. :rolleyes:

It's OK right now. We are getting pressure and sacks at the most important time. What good does a sack on 1st down do if the opponent picks it up on 2nd or 3rd down. Getting the pressure in the 4th quarter or on 3rd and 4th downs are more important.......example tonight against the Eagles in the 4th quarter

Yes, our pass rush is weak. However, in this particular game Wentz was getting rid of the ball very quick in 3 step drops. Looking at the numbers ...90% of his passes under 10 yards. Hard to get to him in 3 step drop slants and WR screens.

Yeah. Wentz was very comfortable back there except for towards the end. Granted he was focused on short throws but there were some plays where he was like 7-on-7 back there. I hope we do something to address before trade deadline.
