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.

Multiple N.F.L. players making millions of dollars with one more sack than me after 7 weeks of football.
 
PFF says Ezeraku is the 9th best passrusher in the NFL over the last 3 weeks.

Right.

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 also play 10 yards off the line of scrimmage on 3rd & 10…

And five of those sacks came in the jets game.
 
Surprisingly it is only 10th worst in the league. Jacksonville, San Francisco and Baltimore are still in single digits.

But go back to 2020, the year before Dallas drafted Micah Parsons. They had only 31 sacks that year. They are on a path to that same lowly total this year. But it is not just the sacks. It is the quick pressures, the QB hits and the fact that Micah occupies two blockers 22% of passing snaps. He forces the offense to get rid of the ball quickly which leads to incompletions and interceptions.
 
Another interesting stat. Dallas has allowed 77 first downs rushing which is worst in the league. But, they have allowed only 15 first downs passing which is 10th best. That passing stat might be misleading but giving up 77 first downs rushing is a horrible total.

I am curious how many times Dallas opponents have punted and where that stands among all NFL teams.

And you guys are being hypocrites, Recency bias is what we call it ,

I need to check everyone of you people that think that Parsons would have helped us win that game ,when he didn't help us win in the 2023 playoff game, we got drove into the ground the same way by the Packers, and he was on the Packers team that gave up 40 points to us this year and why don't we bring up this..hmmirony

How is it that Myles Garrett, TJ Watt ,Hendrickson, Crosby, and the Titans defensive nose tackle whatever he is simmons, why are these players always up for trade talks ,because they're on bad teams, they're great players on bad teams ,do I have to mention they're great players on bad teams,

that would be like trying to And I'll steal this from someone here because I've used the trying to fix one crack in the dam when there's like 17 cracks it's going to fall in and you're going to drown anyway,

But if you're on a sinking boat say you're on a Titanic and it's going down and you're worried about the navigation system, that's the problem that's what Parsons is here miles Garrett had 5 sacks and by the way are we going to talk about his helmet throwing like we did with George Pickens, he is angry he had franchise record ,1 of the best games by defensive end in the NFL and they lost the game in a blowout... did I mention they got blown out?

I need to remind folks that wasting $47 million on Parsons with this defensive coordinator and with this roster with all the injuries and the rookies playing exactly what would be we get more sacks and pressures but not more wins..

Anybody who comes in here and challenges me that I'm wrong,

I'm gonna tell you to look around at those guys they're constantly losing games and losing efforts and none of them have impacted in the playoffs.... They just haven't that means ,they're not winning big games no matter how they play in those games, the opposing offenses will find the weaknesses on the defense ,and exploit it ,and then you go to the offenses, if they don't have it that day, they're going to lose..

This team is not a Parsons away, yes it would be nice to have him then we could be talking about a few extra plays, we can be proud about as fans ,but it isn't going to lead to wins..

I get the frustration, I really do but I can tell you people are delusional recency bias and hypocrites because I'm telling you right now I'm still OK with the move because we still have two first round picks, We're using the money ,We're not able to fill that hole yet, But they were thinking about the future, not this year it ,happened suddenly, it wasn't a plan, But Parsons forced his way out of here with trade demands his body language his antics on the sidelines laying on tables the social media thing he pushed it too far, now he's gone,

yes lot of it was Jerry as well but it doesn't matter This was not a Luca Doncic situation where he woke up one day and he was traded and didn't want to be traded parsons wanted out of here and he's gone he costs too much to be on this defense..

that's the truth and i'm sick of hearing about it. I Understand why Mavs fans are upset over Luka leaving because he was shipped off without notice without any input from the head coaches or the team the GM overnight try to sneak him off the team and he got robbed this player Michael Parsons who's different from Micha Parsons, because he no longer wanted to be a cowboy, him and his agent forced his way off this team, it was deliberate, and they were going to try to force Jerry's hand into overpaying, and they decided this time this one time, not to cave in, and I still agree with the situation.....

So why don't you list the seven teams that are worse or 8 so we're not worse so other teams making mistakes and I heard that the Giants and I believe the Steelers have one of the worst defenses in the league despite having the largest money tabbed for defense like they spent more on their defense and they're both have bad defenses so there you go

This keeps leaning back to the Parkinson's trade and I'm sick of hearing it the defense sucks even a guy like Miles Garrett is on a team that are getting their **** kicked no matter how good he plays if that tells you anything that's all we should be looking at look it could be over this year for our defense it's horrible a player like Parsons isn't doing anything but getting us extra sack or two a couple extra pressures probably not changing any of this record from this year because he's been here before and he's been on this side of losing games just like we did in Denver You remember the one at home to the number 7 seed Green Bay Packers yeah he was part of that he was here he was hearing a lot of these outdoor games on the road that that we lost that mobile quarterbacks and strong running backs we lost Yep he was here and we still lost it it just goes to show you that if you have holes in your defense in other places they will exploit your weaknesses no matter how good some of your other players are..


This is what you call being one piece away it's why you added Charles Haley or a Deion Sanders to help push your team over the top this team is so full of holes it's a sinking ship and one plug or 1 Weld is not fixing it when you guys understand that those 2 1st round picks and that money we save is actually a positive thing and I get it we need something to champion to like it'd be nice if we had Parsons the leader the big time players so we can have something to be proud of that's not winning us more games.

This defense is that bad there's not one piece that's fixing it.

Said this in another thread if there's any hope and it's just like 1.7 percent hope that they can get a winning record this year even nine wins they're going to have to make multiple moves on defense like bring in Kendricks the safety Simmons maybe Gilmore these are all free agents they can be easily gotten with no draft capital you make one trade and now you get all your horses back like Rebel Butler overshone maybe they can get something going but with matt still here I don't see things getting fixed.

It's more than just Matt's missing Parsons and it's getting old because we're not a Parsons away from being a good team that's a fact there's too many holes literally bad I think if Jerry thought bringing over one of the star pass rushers because he's going to he made a mistake with Parsons he would have done it but he knows that would be a bad move........

I totally agree Sick of talking about this the whole entire defense is bad pressures or no pressures sacks or no sacks they're just not getting it done and it starts at the top and I don't mean all the way to the top matt his name is Matt Eberflus.. I don't know who hired him it doesn't matter I don't even know if you should fire him because I don't know if that would matter you keep changing defensive coordinators and I don't know how you fix it but it's not just the roster he was given that's a cop out i've seen Dan Quinn do more with less...

I've seen bad defenses mike Nolan's was pretty bad but I think this is worse... I can't remember 'cause it was a little too far back II tend to block those years out because not only that we lost a bunch of people on offense that year as well there was a lot of injuries Hard to judge given that fact but Dan Quinn got it pretty fixed in a hurry using very similar players they weren't all big time players because we know Jerry don't get you big free agents and somehow Dan Quinn figured it out the first year here he elevated a defense so I don't want to hear this excuse it was Parsons is missing and that's why we're bad he would not have changed our current record in my opinion..

That's because that changes week to week they decide which part to pick on depends on the team It's just weekly how they change But you're right we're the worst run defense in the league it's not interesting it's just the truth We're getting manhandled I saw number 77 for the Broncos offensive line get to the 4th level he literally pancake the first guy bumped the second guy off his feet waiting got a 3rd guy to get in front of on that longest run I don't remember how many yards that was was it 40 plus or was it 70II remember But on that run one player with the effort to get three blocks on the 4th level that is what we're missing here that's how bad our guys are that three of our guys get blocked by one guy in the same play and there's the touchdown that lane was so big you could have drove a car through it but the effort is there our offensive line is supposed to be our better part of our game but it was not last Sunday There's a lot of problems with this team mostly on defense mostly because of the defensive coordinator but yes nothing's working right..

Adding a sack specialist would not change anything except we would have somebody that we'd be proud to watch and that's it ask Myles Garrett how that feels..
 
Watching the Cowboys trade the best pass rusher in the NFL away, and then seeing multiple threads surprised how bad our pass rush is.

Delusion?

Go look at the statistics of this defense with Micah and without.

Its not delusion its reality.

You just enjoy being spoon-fed the rhetoric Jerry feeds you when he gets rid of someone and turns the fans against them.

You believed that we would be better against the run without Micah too didnt ya? LOL

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.

2013 was horrible with Kiffen.. Guess who the LB coach was? Matt Eberflus
