Ryan Russell

two sacks today for Tampa bay...looked better than anything we have

 

[MichaelWinicki]

True.

He looked like crap for the Cowboys.

Are we saying our scheme is too difficult or that our coaching isn't good enough....or something different?

 

[jblaze2004]

maybe its our system lol don't the bucs employ a wide 9 pass rushing technique? Ours is a straight up line up over the tackles technique.

We have had quite a few players that left dallas and played great elsewhere. I have always wondered this same question myself, why we're they trash here.

We look like horses in a starting gate, need to get wide now and then

 

[theebs]

I think those two sacks are his only two appearances on a stat sheet this year. Im not even sure he had a tackle.

He had all the measurables so its a bummer he didn't work out.

mayowa being inactive and ryan davis out there struggling really is hurting the team right now.

thats being kind.

I think the philosophy is a tad difficult.

We know that the guys are encouraged to play high octane every down, but personally I think that makes the job of the opposing lineman easier.

For lack of a better analogy, the Cowboys DL throws its fastball every single play and the OL just adjusts.

Honestly that's the case with every team in the league

I was at the Bucs Game today. Bucs have a nice Dline. Noah Spence, Gerald McCoy, Robert Ayres, Russell, they were all over Russell Wilson.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Terrence Newman and Pacman jones looking decent too. Hehehe

Ayres is the guy the Cowboys should have went hard after. Big miss.

 

[Common Sense]

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of this team's ability to identify DL talent for the scheme.

If we are going to play this game...how about a guy that has 8 sacks for the year instead of some guy with just a couple...

I was just going to bring him up.
Beat me to it. Dude has carved out a nice career.

yea, but in all fairness, he's long been past his rookie deal. we gave up on him too early, but he likely would have been gone anyway.

I don't think he would help us now. I think that was when we were still going 3-4 defense. I think he is still being used as an 3-4 pass rushing OLB but I could be wrong.

Yep. Posted about him in the offseason when looking at FA's. One of the most productive pass rushers in the NFL on a per snap basis.

But, he was 30 at the time, and for some reason people think just because you hit 30 you somehow start needing a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. (Terrence Newman says hay)

Dude is a POS woman beater. Glad he isn't in Dallas.
