Rushing defense

[HungryLion]

First of all, let me start by saying....... this defense is the most spineless, gutless, ball-less defense I have ever seen.

we can talk about schematic issues. But 294 yards rushing just starts with a complete lack of heart and dignity. A lack of willingness to play hard and physical and shed blocks abs tackle.


With all that being said. Fixing the damn run defense needs to be priority #1. You can’t win NFL football games giving up anywhere close to this many rushing yards.

5th game allowing over 200 yards. They’ve allowed over 300 yards once and came really close to doing so tonight.

I mean. Until they fix the run defense, nothing else matters. NOTHING else matters. It’s pointless to even argue about the QB or anything else until this changes dramatically.


This was just god awful and sickening to watch. Has been all year.

 

[Hardline]

yep

 

[Bigdog]

Is terrible. More like Swiss cheese defense.

 

[fivetwos]

Worst match of personnel and scheme I've ever seen.

WHY didnt Jerry or MM see this?

I have my theories.

 

[UncleOscar]

Need a new HC and DC and new players

 

[JMPearson]

Nolan as to go a DT as to be a first round pick if not a op 5 one trade back and get a Dt and S.

 

[CowboysDrew]

The Cowboys have a rushing defense?

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Perfect storm. Miss three kicks, get gashed right up the middle, whiff on offense.

What are they?

 

[HungryLion]

I should have put rushing “defense”

 

[Jake]

Cowboys haven't had a legit defense in over a decade.

This Defense, if you can call it that, needs a complete overhaul.
We need a top 5 pick bad, some good free agents and a solid draft just to upgrade this pitiful, gutless defense.

Man, remember how bad it was when Zimmer was DC and gave up three 200 yd rushers early in the season? They eventually got better but that stain stayed with him his entire time as DC in Dallas.

This is significantly worse than that. And that defense the had nobodies out there. This defense has multiple first, second, and third rounders out there

Any unit being led by the joke, Jaylon “self promotion” Smith, will never be good. The guy is the worst signing here in 3 decades. Laughing it up with Lamar after getting schooled is such a typical Jaylon move.

I agree. I prefer players who are pissed off and angry when they’re getting their crap pushed in.

Been telling Jerry this for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bewp7]

this was a big problem before nolan even! that is why i say the core is rotten.

jerry maybe u just do not know how to build a roster. any idiot can draft wide receiver in the 1st round every year.

Been telling Jerry this for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well KSK. Jerry is an old dog who can’t learn new tricks.

 

[DasTex]

At this point trade back in draft and go
DT, FS, CB, LB and DT again with first 5 picks.

 

[RS12]

DT high a top the need list. Followed closely by LBs that aren't constantly out of position.
