Projected #1 Overall Pick Cam Ward Calls Out Cowboys' Defense

Pretty funny. He probably saw the Eagles third string QB shred our defense last year 156 QB rating 2 TDs in 4 pass attempts

Unfortunately for you he’s the real deal.

Is he? I am not so sure about that. To me he looks like he is trying to imitate Patrick Mahomes half the time. I am not anointing anyone until they play a year or two in the NFL. I am honestly not crazy about any of the QB in this years draft. Most QB , even those taken in the first round, never live up to the hype coming out of college.

Not a huge deal but I found this pretty funny. We got undrafted Rookie QB's specifically calling out our porous Defense in pre-draft interviews now lol. Also odd that Ran Carthon is interviewing the likely #1 pick of the Titans when he was just fired by the Titans after the season.

Tell the 'rook' and no time in grade to earn something in the NFL before he moves on up and starts to run it and be fully paumpass.

well first of all I'm not listening to that second of all it's not gonna be the same defense that the whole staff was changed lot of players are gonna be changed but that's not the point I hope this rookie I hope we end up playing this guy his rookie season because that's being put up for all the see that video will be played in the locker room before that game if it should happen his rookie year I didn't look at the schedule but whoever he ends up with I hope we get to play him and we're gonna put Parsons and hopefully overshooting his back but we're gonna send the dogs after this big mouth 'cause that's how I'm getting fired up right now about how I'll smash this rookie they got a lot of big mouths and a lot of big egos before they end up in the NFL and realize that it'll be better than any defense he's ever faced in college....

Does he realize our piece together defense beat Washington in game one and had Washington on the ropes in game two and Washington was an NFC championship game team and yet we nearly beat them twice we literally beat Jayden Daniels both games I know we didn't win the second game but we got him out Marcus Mariota came in hit this dude think he's better than Jayden Daniels I don't think so bring that big mouth over here to Texas and we'll show you...lol

Does this kid know that we are missing 2 levels of starters, mostly on defense, does he also realize that Jayden Daniel struggled against this bad defense literally lost to us in game one, and got ran out of the game in game two, we nearly swept Washington and Jayden Daniels..

if he thinks he's better than Jayden Daniels bring it on he sounds like a overconfident egotistical young Rook that I hope we get to see because this will be bulletin board material that was a very injured defense with a one-year lame duck new defensive scheme and coach.? I wonder if he understands the worst NFL defense is better than any defense he'll ever see in college and him running his mouth not gonna be helping him in the first game he sees against any defense but I can promise you this if he meets the Cowboys here in the near future they're gonna remember this...

You should probably listen to the video....Its under a minute long and its really not that bad. Crazy that you're trying to bash this kid when you dont even know what he said.....Its actually not a bad video at all, and shows he has been studying the NFL game. Hes actually 100% correct. Teams are playing a lot of cover 2 and better QBs with strong arms and confidence to let the ball rip can exploit the coverage. Thats really just football 101.

The exact quote:

Cam Ward said:
I think some teams in the NFL did a lot of 2-hot stuff, like Dallas, a lot of Tampa, a lot of Cover 2. They leave too much space on the sidelines, down the seams.

Without being too specific, Cam Ward emphasizes Dallas' defense out of any defenses he inferred watching that utilized the Tampa/Cover 2. What singles out a particular example out of a group of examples from any observer's perspective? Answer: something one example demonstrated more than any the other examples did.

Perhaps Ward's observation cannot be labeled as a callout. What Ward inferred, from his perspective, is Dallas' use of Tampa/Cover 2 stood out for him over any other teams' use of the same scheme. What does that say of this aspect of the 2024 Cowboys defense, comparative to other teams' use of the Tampa/Cover 2 last season, if the rookie's observations are 100% correct?

Callout? Maybe not. Identifying a defensive fault more prevalent than what other teams had? Well. That spotlight would not be shining as brightly on those other teams as it does solely upon Dallas in his eyes, would it?

Well said…and I read the comments before I watched the video and was expecting a lot worse. This was simply a comment about coverages. He used Dallas an example but he said a lot of teams do it. Should he have stopped at a lot of teams and left Dallas out of it…maybe. But it’s reasonable to provide an example when you are explaining something. He is young and will learn that his every word will be scrutinized but IMO, this was a benign comment.

Yeah I honestly wonder if the quote would have been shared through CBS if he didnt reference Dallas. There is a lot of context missing from that tweet and it looks like it was shared just to get Dallas fans worked up enough to click on it.
