Our run defense gave us a chance

Will take this and be happy

Can be happy and still hope that the defense is able to improve to more of the middle of the pack type.

That would be even better, just want to see improvements each game. Run D was doing there thing today.

Some of these guys need to learn how to tackle. They need to really focus on fundamentals because we get penetration a lot of times but obviously when we do that sometimes it breaks contain and then the quarterback just runs for a first down or we just completely missed the quarterback or we just can't tackle nobody and they run right through them

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Yep. Shut down their run game and limited penalties big difference today.

True, run D was great

 

[atlantacowboy]

Houston has the worst rbs in the NFL. If we can't shut down David Montgomery and Woody Marks, we got real problems.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

If we stop the run, we get enough possessions to have achance. The defense was awful. I'd put r Gary at dt on 3rd down. He's bug enough. M Lawrence is our fastest most explosive pass rusher. This pass rush is a real problem.

Correct, it was nice to see us stopping the run again. We have gotten better there. And Gary had a couple nice sacks today.

Shutting down the worst run game in the league makes it tough to judge whether they actually shut them down or Texans just performed as badly as they have been

Oops, I did not realize they had the worst run game in the league. And here I was trying to be an actual optimist and pointing out the good run defense played today, lol.

Now the pass dee on the other hand...

And they only had Collins really.
Luckily Stroud was the QB I guess but it still almost wasn't enough.

BUT an ugly win is still a win.

Cowboys!

Take bland off the field and rest of the defense wasn’t awful

I don't know if it's the actual worst but they were pretty far down the list. Agree though, a win is a win!

Tbh Texans stink at running

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Did Porter play?

Yes he did. Started the game but rotated heavily. Was not targeted on nine coverage snaps. Very nice start.

 

[75boyz]

Nailed it

Yep.

Hopefully a full go going forward and on the top WR from here on end because Collin’s killed whomever covered him

Signs of life today for the first time this season. We actually looked semi-competent here & again.

Really impressed with run D, hopefully with Porter getting more reps helps the pass D.

Agreed, Collins ate Bland's lunch today.

That’s not too much to ask. Just middle of the pack and it changes everything. We still should be 3-1. We let a game get away last week that we should have won

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Agreed, Collins ate Bland's lunch today.

And he hasn’t been too long came back from an injury

 

[rambo2]

Did Porter play?

Did you watch the game?

 

[dfense]

No pass rush is a problem, but run defense has improved every game so far.
