Quinn vs misdirection offenses

[KingCorcoran]

This isn't the first time a team did this to us under Quinn. Quinn's defenses are predicated on rushing the passer I get it. However you can't let a team do what Arizona did in the first half today. It was ridiculous. They were throwing a ton of misdirection against us, and it's like we weren't ready for it. Nobody maintained gap control. It's happened for years now, whether it be Philly, SF, the rams under goff. Can't let it continue to happen.

Second half we were better... but my question is. Why did it take an entire half to make that adjustment? You knew Arizona was going to come out and do what it did. Thats their game. dobbs only had to throw the ball 21 times. You make him throw the ball more we win that game.

Let’s make him the head coach and “Prime” his DC.

First half he did. Absolutely. Guys over running plays, not maintaining gap assignments. Getting gashed in the run. It's like they didn't watch any cardinals film.

..they underplayed the competition. DQ made adjustments to late.

The Cowboys defense is predicated on getting sacks and turnovers which is really effective when they have the lead. But when they don't their style of play can leave them vulnerable to the stuff the Cardinals ran today. We'll see if Quinn makes any adjustments but he should have them play a more disciplined style of defense to start games and wait until the offense gets moving before he lets them run wild.

I thought the Cardinals were much more fired up than the Cowboys today and the more success they had the more confident they got during the game. If the offense could have gotten a couple of TDs when they were in goal to go situations, the game may have turned out very differently.

“underplayed the competition“? What does that mean? “DQ”… made adjustments TOO late, means he’s an idiot.

..ha, ... I wouldn't say idiot. He goofed, underestimated Cards running game. That's why they almost had 200 rush yds. In just 1st half. Prepared defenses don't let that happen.
..no biggie, you learn, move on.

The sacks are great. But this defense is so obsessed with rushing the passer that any good offensive coordinator will use it against them.

They are always jumping offsides because they want to pad the stat sheet with those sacks.

Like u said, misdirection kills this defense. And if you can get a good running game going, this defense is average at best.

Sacks get big contracts and these guys want to be paid.
