Wow the defense got man handled....

 

[windward]

would be nice to hold here

 

[Rampage]

Watkins still can't tackle

 

[ScipioCowboy]

oakland looks like an 11-5 possibly 12-4 team. what an incredible improvement.

Are you a troll?

Terrible drive defense Jason Williams was to blame on that pass not Mickens

I'm liking Alan Ball, haven't noticed DeAngelo Smith one way or the other. Courtney Brown is awful, and all reports have said he's been that way in camp. Mike Mickens is meh.

By and large, I don't particularly like our defensive depth. Our backup linebackers, save Carpenter, are mostly rookies (the two Williamses and Butler). We have a handful of unproven backups in the secondary. Hatcher, Bowen and Siavi (sp?) aren't world beaters up front.

I like our starting defense, but we're incredibly thin imo. As we are up front on offense.

Scoring against what looks like a 1-15 defense.

#58 williams was just watching...Who the hell was he covering?

I could of ran a route on those guys.

Welcome to the NFL, rookies.

Jason Williams completely lost on this drive

Completely lost the whole game, except for that blitz up the gut. He's got a looooong way to go.

And Butler got run on some. But that's totally to be expected from a college 43 DE playing his first game as a linebacker.

And I'm still not sold on Mickens. Yes, he's a rookie and no matter how talented, he's going to look bad his first game. I just don't know if he's all that athletically.

there's another possibility...

backups are as bad as last year.

 

[windward]

Well our second unit, at least the secondary, has been pretty terrible.

 

[DallasDomination]

Courtney Brown -- bye

Justin Rogers -- bye

Jason Williams -- 3rd string

Pat Watkins -- bye

Mickens --Gone

I realize the players currently on defense are backups, but the Cowboys need some of these backups to play well. Unfortunately, thus far, none of them are.
