Run defense?

[TequilaCowboy]

Oh yeah, the ole bend and grab your ankles defense.

Look at this play.

Kenny Clark gets moved to the other side of the LOS and knocked on his ***.


Kneeland who can’t rush the passer worth a single damn and is supposed to be a “run stopper”. Gets pushed back 7 yards off the LOS. BY A TIGHT END.

I mentioned this play specifically in another thread.

Thing was, it wasn’t just Kneeland. Tremble was taking on other guys 1v1, specifically Fowler and Williams, and just manhandling them.

I literally had a hard time believing what I was watching when it did happen. Being totally serious. I actually asked myself did I just see that? And then they show the replay and my dropped jaw and head shaking never seemed to stop.

I couldn't and still can't begin to comprehend how bad the run dee was yesterday.

What’s crazy is we didn’t do anything g different to stop it. This is why I want the DC fired. Like come on make some adjustments.

I don't watch games live anymore, I record them all! This way I can fast forward to my favorite commercials......LOL!!!!!

Look at the holes Rico had to run through. I mean just terrible. Can our DT's not make plays?
Kenny Clark and Osa both make 20 million a year. In a game where the opposing them ran the ball pretty heavy they only had 2 tackles and 2 QB hits total for the BOTH of them. No other stats.

More like NO Defense.

That is a sad site!
A one legged man could have limped for 5 yards!!!

I saw Kneeland get rag dolled a couple times and he’s a run stuffer with no pass rush.

 

[Captain43Crash]

LOL, good job Jerry. Micah gone for that. LOL. I'd also rather have Micah for 40 mill than Osa and Clark for 40.

Micah wanted 48 million. They would have run all over Mica too.

I mean where's Moses?
The Red Sea definitely parted here, lol.

So true AND so sad!

If you double both DT's do you think they should still make the tackle or do you expect an unblocked LB to meet the running back in the hole?

Just curious.

This was posted in response to Bib Atrum showing a video of the hole big enough to drive a truck through. It speaks volumes

 

[75boyz]

Lots of defenders getting physically whipped that has got nothing to do with the scheme called. The opposing trench guys flat out smoked the Dallas front 7. Man or zone would not have made a difference.

It IS a major personnel issue regardless of Stephen's lies.

In that scenario the LBer should be in the hole.
What’s your point?

 

[zrinkill]

I have heard on here and from Jerry that all we had to do is trade Micah and stopping the run would be fixed.

So i refuse to believe we have any problems.

The point is they were not, so why blame DT's that are being double teamed.

The Cowboys have been ranked a top 3 defense 11 times in their history.

Three times in the 60's, three times in the 70s, four times in the 90s and in 2003, Parcells first season as Cowboys head coach..

In the Cowboys history, they have been ranked worse than 20th only three times.

One was last season when they were ranked 28th. Another was 2010, the year they fired Wade Phillips in the middle of the season. They were ranked 23rd. In 2013, they were ranked the worse. 32nd.

At this pace, the Cowboys will be ranked lower than 20th for only the 4th time on their history. This will be the first time in their history they were ranked lower than 20th back to back.

The Cowboys were home to iconic defenders that were famous for destroying opponent rushing attacks.

The Cowboy had a Hall of Fame DT on their roster from 1961 to 1988 a period of 28 seasons, 14 years for Bob Lilly and 14 years for Randy White.

The Cowboys have always brought in dynamic players at several positions, even now, with one exception.

Where is our defensive tackle? Where is that Bob Lilly/Randy White that will enforce the line of scrimmage like a brick wall?

Parting the seas.
This might be the most telling photo of the state of our D.
Good thing we got Clooney to save us.

Clowney, me apologies.
