Stephen Jones on defense changes

[ShortRound]

Blah blah blah........ I don't give a damn what he has to say

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

What about the 6 safety system we’ve been running?

 

[John813]

Drafting a linebacker probably is highish on their list.

And when are we going to acquire two more linebackers and bigger guys in the middle?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Over a decade of being gashed right down the middle and the light bulb has finally come on
Better late than never I guess

You only need one more linebacker. But you also need to add another DT.

Overshown, Kendrick’s, Clark, Micah and a Rookie (Wilson, Grey type) will make up your LBs.

Overshown - Kendrick’s - Rookie/Micah with Clark as depth.

Osa and Mazi will start. Golston and Fehoko likely get some snaps at 3T. But we need an upgrade over Davis.

 

[Mikexike]

They will do that in the draft/after draft and we will like it.

 

[Tabascocat]

A bonus would be if they are able to tackle as well

I have little confidence in the defense especially with Zimmer. Nothing has cost us more games in the playoffs the past 2+ decades than the defense.

 

[Coogiguy03]

yeah and we'll draft a 280lb DT in the draft!!

 

[Creeper]

When the Joneses start talking football, I cringe.

You know what this sounds like to me? "We are at war with EastAsia. We have always been at war with EastAsia."

so high we'll get one on day 3, or a guy that should have been drafted on day 3 in round 1

 

[Captain-Crash]

wow genius, I knew with that large elephant head they're a brain somewhere in it.

 

[Teague31]

Bigger and stronger in the middle. What a radical thought. Little Enos really is ahead of his time

 

[Coogiguy03]

Maybe if he had these thoughts years ago, we'd be hosting more Superbowl rings instead of talking about the ones we already have!! More is better!!

 

[JeffInDC]

As crazy as this may sound, I would try to trade Osa for draft capital. I honestly don’t think he fits what Zimmer wants. I’d try to replace him with a naturally bigger and stronger version of what Osa is - the way he wears down by mid season is alarming. I believe Murphy, Newton, Ruke, Fiske, and even Dwayne Carter could give you what you get from Osa in naturally bigger and stronger frames since they’re all NATURALLY 295+ (remember, Osa was 280 when he got drafted). Just my $.02.

People want to rip on Zimmer but this is him. The Cowboys never cared about size in the middle. Now all of a sudden these clowns figured it out? I'm sure Mike is very particular about Mazi getting back to a legitimate weight also. This will be a very different defense. At least that front 7 should look better for a change.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Starters - Hendricks, Overshown, Clarke?

Where is the depth? Going to end up moving Bell back and be same as last year. LOL
