Sad sack totals so far this year

[big dog cowboy]

The defense has a whopping 14 sacks after 8 games. Here is a list of them all. VERY underwhelming and actually embarrassing.

Houston 3.5
Clark 1.5
Murray, James, Odighizuwa, Ezeiruaku, Williams, Clowney, Kneeland, Liufau, Fowler 1 each

There are 35 players who have more sacks than our team leader Houston.

21 of them have played 7 or less games than the Cowboys.

The Cowboys only have more sacks than 8 other teams.

14 actually shocks me I thought it was worse

Might stem from run by tackle attempts.

Technically the Cowboys have 15 sacks. When Russell Wilson fumbled backwards out of bounds in week two the NFL recorded it as a "team" sack for the Cowboys.

Had nothing to do with the pass rush but the league has some statistical oddities.

We can’t cover so of course we aren’t going to get sacks.

..that's called The Neutral Zone Defense.

No aggression. Just sit back and get picked apart.

Depressing is more like it. Quarterback pressures force mistakes. Mistakes equal potential turnovers. Our secondary is lacking, but it can only do so much if quarterbacks generally have all day to survey their targets.

I would give you two likes if this is a Star Trek reference.

I mean it takes a while to scheme a pass rush right?

At least they are good at stopping the run now...Oh. Wait..

At least they are better against the run now...

We can't rush the passer so of course we can't cover. QB have all day back there. Secondary isn't great by any means but can't expect them to cover for 6 or 7 seconds either

They aren’t covering for 6 or 7 seconds.

That’s hilarious you would even say that & you’re just echoing old cliches that don’t apply to our situation.

Micah covered up a ton of warts on this D at every level.

LOL WHAT?


So you think coverage sacks, and just having a good pass rush are the same thing?

Having a great pass rush means you dont have to cover as long.

No corner is going to cover their man for 5 plus seconds in the NFL.

Man your ability to understand football has not improved over the years.

Just exaggerated for effect...but you get the meaning. Having a pass rush makes your secondary look a lot better

Romo literally said it yesterday on the broadcast dude. Wake up.

Micah covered a lot of warts on this team. Its not a surprise that the defense was top 10 under Quinn every year Micah was here.

It really cant be this hard for everyone to understand or figure out.

Agree..

But man these guys just don’t cover at all.

I’ve seen some really pathetic Cowboys defenses be able to bend & not break.

They gave up FGs galore but they didn’t break.

This is supposed to be that but nobody knows what to do or where to be.
