Paul Pasqualoni

[Randy White]

I hope that the Cowboys organization realize why this guy CANNOT be on the coaching staff next season.. Not even as a quality control guy.

And this does NOT excuse the, once again, PATHETIC performance by Terrence Newman AND Mike Jenkins.

Newman must be cut after this season, no ifs or buts about it, but there's a very strong argument for attempting to trade Jenkins in the off-season as well. This guy just does NOT want to tackle anybody and when he attempts to, his technique is horrible.

he needs to be tired

Doesn't matter who the heck our coordinator was, he doesn't account for missed tackles and terrible play on the defensive side of the ball. We need some new bodies and new energy on that side of the ball.

Not sticking up for Pasqueloni but there are some serious personnel issues every where I look on D. You cant make chicken salad out of chicken feathers.

Man it's the players... Don't blame the coach!

I think PP has done a very good job with the material at hand. It's on the players more than the DC. We need a big NT for those times they are pushing Ratliff around. Lee needs to step up. We need at least one safety to play big preferably both. Newman needs to get healed and stay healthy. Jenkins needs to rebound. We could use a DE in place of Igor that can generate a little pass rush at times. Spencer needs to play better or Butler step up.

Without those changes no DC is going to do well.

 

[jblaze2004]

if we run the 3-4 next year we need to get a bigger NT.....case close enough with this small NT bull. We couldn't stop the pass or run. Not good on Defense.

 

[Randy White]

an argument from me on neither of those posts..

Brooking: thank you for your services and leadership, but you're done. You can't even recognize running lanes anymore, much less fill them.

Personnel and coaching all could use an upgrade. It's a two way street.

Exactly...the defense wasn't all that bad minus that horrific final drive and that one mistake on Jackson....this team had a ton of bad habits to break and they are making some progress, but there are some guys who REALLY need to be replaced.

I usually don't blame coaches, but in this case, I know this guy's history. This is EXACTLY what the Dullphins defense looked like last year. He gets canned, the Dullphins D still don't have as much talent as we do, and they looked great because of Nolan.

 

[Cowboys22]

I want a new DC as well but the defens's main problem is the players. Newman, Jenkins, and Ball are not playing well enough for the team to win. There needs to be alot of turnover on defense and that should include some big names. I also think they are leaving Ratliff out there too much. He is getting worn down and then killed with double teams at key moments every week.

Didn't we hold this team to 14 points through 3 and a half quarters?

I guess Paul designed the gameplan to let Desean catch 4 balls for 210 yards on us.

I used to love T New.. but he simply doesn't have it anymore. I swear receivers who he's been covering this year have to have as high a completion percentage against him as any other CB in the league. Ugh.

We need 2 new safeties as well. And a NT. NT first.

Don't worry about it. Jerry Jones is working on a super staff of coaches, just like Dan Snyder does it.

 

[Air Force One]

starts with the coach and works it's way down. Revamp the whole defense, starting with Pasqualoni

 

[TheCoolFan]

It's both on the players and the coaches. This is one of the stupidest teams in the league...bring in a new DC with elaborate schemes and I bet these knuckleheads wouldn't know what the heck to do with it. We'd see more confusion in coverages and breakdowns.

Pasqualoni's defense is so simple yet these guys are still making mistakes in coverage.

Money - nothing will change until he passes.

This was always going to be a tough game for our D, you can't play zone with the speed they have on offense and Vick being able to buy time like he does, it will never end well. This is actually one game where Wade's D probably would have been better
