Our DEs will continue to underperform as long as we have bad DT play.imo Marinelli is the problem here.he refuses to use the draft to draft DTs.the least they could do is go after some top DTs in FA.

Reddyuta, I place this onto the ledger of GM, Jerry Jones, He has from the beginning, been about cash flows. From the start, by necessity, and then by policy. He lost a pair of very good linebackers because he would not pass the $1 million limit for a linebacker. They were supposed to be as easy to acquire as running backs now. Just think, defensive tackles are less valued than them. Marinelli will get one in the ball park only...then you need dominant players to dominate.

And I believe they will look at upgrading at DT. Jerry suggested that before the season finale.

We don't need more DEs
We need a real 1T DT, physical and speedy MLB, and good safety play

This FO is SO clueless it is not even funny

Meh, I'd say trade down, but this looks like a really weak draft. I'd actually trade up if they think one of those qbs are good

Panthers LBs get to make plays because the DTs keep them clean. The one common denominator with all the teams in the conference championship games is that the interior DL were not only big and athletic but they generate so much pressure up the middle that their respective Ds can just fly to the ball and make plays.

The Cowboys have been an edge rush team in all of recent memory, collapsing the middle hasn't been a priority.

Therein lies the problem. For Marinelli's defense to be successful, it needs an elite 3 tech DT to generate double digit sacks and QB pressures.

It is about team defense and not a fancy name

Wow, it is? And team defense that is effective, will show prominent indicators...Gregory - 0 sacks; Lawrence - 6 sacks. Neither of those touch the top levels on most teams now.

Take fancy name and whatever you chose, with that burn barrel attitude.

You don't even attempt to work with what is presented...like in a real discussion and not a ripple inspired oration at the burn barrel.

What could be a prominent and developing outside pressure in those defensive ends, would also need a very strong pair of defensive tackles to make the attempt to rush with a consistent four man rush, a valid aspiration as well.

But play your tirade hand, and remain back on ignore.

Short-term, probably. Long-term (defining long as 2-3 seasons from now), absolutely not. 2-3 years from now it doesn't matter what the team does this offseason if they don't have a QB in place.

I guess I don't understand why Bronchos for instance can manage under the salary cap to have great rushers like Von Miller, the hall of fame qb and we get a busted up Romo and a lame pass rush and oh yeah they have a great back up qb. We got none of this yet our brilliant front office is at the senior bowl

That would be a reward for ineptitude.

Fair to say a defense that consistently gets to the QB may be even more important than franchise QB play.

Denver can second that. They have had bottom 10 QB play all year. Even in the playoffs, Peyton hasn't been impressive. That defense has carried them.

Getting to the QB is a big deal. But I think if the QB is mobile, the QB rushing effort will never be enough to stop them completely. A QB like Cam Newton can overcome a great QB rushing team like Denver. This years's Super Bowl will more than make this point clear.

hm, someone on here told me going after pass rusher was just a "copycat" move and not intelligent.

even though pass rush is like, common sense and objectively, one of the most important aspects of the game.

I think we need depth at de but I agree we need a stud in the middle of the dline and this draft has some depth at dt so maybe we can get one
Just don't think it will be at 4
I think they will take a QB
