Run Defense | True NT

[Dak_Attack_09]

I was hoping @xwalker would come up with a another fairytale thread about how the DTs aren’t the issue with the run defense and they aren’t totally getting manhandled.

THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE WITH RUN DEFENSE IS NOT HAVING A NT THAT CAN TAKE ON COMBO BLOCK/DOWN BLOCK .

Jenkins just exposed the whole DL and took them to the wood shed. If Jerry wants to win meaningful games in the post-season or even make it to the playoffs he will need to make a trade for a true NT like Star Louteleli.

Dallas should use Panthers 4-3 DL scheme From 2013-2017

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Dallas should trade a mid-round pick for a NT.

While I totally agree with you and side with you on this issue, and respectfully disagree with @xwalker on this issue, I understand that reasonable minds can view the same facts differently. Having said that, after the Green Bay game, I think it’s hard to objectively be in the camp that doesn’t include the school of thought that we need a legit 1 Tech.

While we are at it, our DL scheme is garbage and that’s not helping either. Marinelli needs to be put out to pasture and it can’t happen soon enough.

I have been saying this all season: Our run defense is complete garbage.

After all this time I don't think theres a player out there except Aaron Donald that can overcome this garbage scheme that has been trash for 6 years.

This guy attempted to explain the concept...

This puts it all on the linebackers. The DTs were the first line of defense and they were gashed before the RB ever got to the second level.

The LBs are over compensating and over pursuing because of the weak *** DTs we have playing against the run.

 

[JohnsKey19]

The way we're getting creased inside on some runs is inexcusable. And in the red zone of all places...

A big run stuffing DT would help, but this is ignoring the real issue.

In the Cowboys scheme the job of the 1-technique is to occupy blockers and allow the LB's to flow freely to the ballcarrier. LVE and Jaylon Smith, however, are missing way too many tackles this year.

This.

I think it's more of a LB problem than it is a DT problem.

 

[Keithfansince5]

I have been wanting Marinelli gone for a few years now. How can you fix something when you don't see the problem? Marinelli will never be our guy to fix this.

Exactly I mean can a d lineman get off a block and make a play or close a gap up.

Then answer a couple of questions.

I'll start with just one question.

Go to 2:02 of the video.

Look at DT #96 Collins and notice he is lined up in the middle between the hash marks.

Watch him, especially before the RB gets the handoff.

Why does Collins end up outside the right hash marks?

 

[unionjack8]

Why is jaylon getting sucked into worrying about the reverse. Surely the backside DE and lb have that responsibility.
If jaylon hits that correct hole it's a one yard gain(play two on the video)

It's the damn scheme......

Because marinelli runs d line slants. notice all the other d lineman slanting as well to that direction. Backside has to see and make that play not #96.

I watched the video as you suggested. I’m not sure where you are going with that. The play action may have delayed LVE’s reaction but the original hole was due to the DL vacating that entire area.

The whole rushmen concept isn’t working. The DTs are not doing their job on run contain.

What is it that you are trying to get at regarding your post?

The 1 tech is shooting gaps, he's not occupying anything

 

[StarBoyz83]

Just wait 2-4 years for hill to develop

 

[JayFord]

Ill wait until the coaches try having our dts 2 gap before i see if we need to go get someone

I asked you a very specific question.

I asked about the DT Collins.

I did not ask about LVE.

I'll repeat the question.

Why was Collins outside the right hash after initially being between the hashes where the RB ended up going?

A: Collins took himself outside off the snap.

B: Collins was overpowered off the snap and driven to the outside by OLinemen.
