Quinn's Bear Front

[Cowboyny]

We saw Dan Quinn employ a so called 5 man line last season. The advantages of this, basically takes away double teams and gives every defender a single man matchup. This alignment had DLaw kick inside with Gregory and Parsons attacking the edges.

Now with the addition of Sam Williams and Dante Fowler, it potentially can become the Cowboys version of the Giants Nascar package of 4 DE's rushing the passer:

DLaw/Gallimore as the 2 down lineman
Parsons, Williams, Fowler stand up rushers

With all of them in single matchups, it's a huge advantage against any offensive line.

Apologize for no screen shots, but it is easy to see what Quinn is starting to put together.

I have no qualms with Quinn kicking Dlaw inside in the nickel rush packages .. but when DLaw does go inside, we have to have some else clearly capable of getting to the QB off the left end edge.
Marinelli did the same thing with DLaw occasionally to nickel DT in his 4-3 scheme.

- There’s certain packages and lanes and roles Quinn wants to employ his rushers
If I have a peeve, it’s his nickel packages which he’ll play at least 52% to 70% of the time,.. teams will seek to run the ball against that nickel set.

- And the more competitive team that are capable of running the ball will have a chance at our questionable run defense.

- We’re constantly switching out and changing our defensive personnel at times between plays,.. the hybrid move, but sometimes it may confuse opposing offenses, and sometimes it
Works against us, as we get wipe-washed out of lanes – that’s one reason why we tend to get out-physical" ....

I think that they kick D-Law inside because the "LDE" in that package is in 2 point stance, D-Law sucks coming out of the 2 point stance.

- i think it's because Dlaw has a knack for getting skinny inside an OG for penetration. It's similar to what the Giants used to do with DE Justin Tuck, and moving him inside vs
interior OGs, who just could not deal with their interior quickness and agility.

- Outside at the edge at DE, DLaw has to beat OTs with advance hand technique, because he has at best, above average quickness and he's not an elite athlete, or explosiveness.
He has to work and labor harder to get his sacks and it doesn't come as easy as naturally as say a Randy Gregory.

- It'd be great to have someone else emerge enuff so he won't have to take as many snaps and downs that probably is wearing down his body and taking a toll as the
years go by. i tend to wonder if the hampering injuries is physically limiting him as a productive pass rusher.

Defending the run, is a whole another subject. I am speaking more about obvious passing situations. You would think, Williams/Fowler will offer solid egge rushing abilities, where they can allow DLaw to play within the interior.

DLaw was actually better rushing the passer as a stand up rusher when he played that role with Nolan's defense. I believe he will be more of a down lineman in Quinn's schem.

When playing inside, it's a shorter distance to the QB. You are right DLaw is more of a technician then a bendy, athletic edge rusher like Randy Gregory. However, he is going to start seeing less double teams with the emergence of Parsons.

I don’t think the media has a clue about what Cowboys are doing with the offense or the defense. What is telling is when the media witnessed the practices most of the starters were out. The Cowboys appear to be keeping things quiet for once.

 

[CouchCoach]

Is Quinn not into manscaping?

 

[jazzcat22]

Quinn will have a lot of different looks. Year 2 in his system and better players. I think they take a step forward. Not sure how much of a step, as that depends on the run defense / players.
But I do believe they will be better. Will / can the duplicate or get close to that many turnovers again though.

Hooker stayed healthy, and should be much better, and Kearse is back. DLaw hopefully is healthy all season, and I don't think Gregory will be missed. Can the DT's step up?
Can Joseph be better than Brown, and if suspended for a few games, we still will not be horrible at CB.

I want a .... take no prisoners ... type of defense.

Cannot get much out of practice without pads.

I really like the job Quinn has done.
Front office really nailed this one.

Being a female, I thought a lot worse!

But realize the defensive game is more than just obvious 3rd down,.. what if teams are revving up no huddle offenses for the purpose of eliminating or limiting the hybrid sub packages ?
Keeping the various Quinn nickel packages, subs and relief- rotation guys off the field ?

We will hope Fowler and Sam I Am ...can provide a pass rush, ..otherwise it's down to Parsons and DLaw, .. much is just not known or proven with the DTs such as Gallimore, Osa and Hill.
And i'm not sold on depending upon Armstrong as a full time starting DE.

The OL cant hold when DL have no pads, but they do get some good work on technique.

Now if only there was a way to stop the run up the middle, so this Nascar package stops leaking oil.

You hopefully will be right but just remember the Cowboys gave up 100 yards + rushing in 13 games of which they lost 5 of these. If that doesn't improve little progress will be made. 3WR'S maybe standard but if you cannot stop the run you won't go far
