The Cowboys pass-rush is already better than you think

I need to see it to believe it. I have seen Quinn hustle...can't say that for the rest of the DLine.

I feel like part of the issue is our best d line players only play around 50% of snaps. Having a great pass rush win rate doesn't matter as much when you aren't on the field enough.

Just me but I think this D will fine going forward. Can't put my fingers on it but something happened with them during the Eagles game we hadn't seen all season. Like a light came on or they found the 2018 groove. Now add Bennett, I'd be very surprised if they aren't closer to the top 10 rankings after the next 4-5 games.

You are in for a big disappointment .Until they do it consistently don't count on them.

Nothing to do w/ hustle. Our DT's are grossly undermanned and undertalented. All the hustle in the world won't give you enough talent.

Complete opposite of super bowl contenders, especially our 90's super bowl teams. Keep those guys fresh, and they'll produce in the 4th.

That's what NE does. And that's what SEA did in their super bowl winning season.

I bet the last Cowboys game the writer has seen was our dominance a scrub Houston O Line in the preseason, its the only logical explanation.

Benson Mayowa and Taco Charlton have more sacks in fewer games than Demarcus Lawrence. Taco has more total tackles than Lawrence too.

I didn't say it wasn't a valid strategy. I'm giving a possible reason that have a couple great pass rushers isn't translating in the sack totals. If you want to rotate like that then the backups have to carry their weight as well. The only one backup I've seen making plays is Kerry Hyder.

they are 17th in sacks,that is low for a team with Dlaw and Quinn but will get better if Quinn stays healthy.

Sacks is mostly a product of a) playing with a lead b) the opposing QB c) the offense's passing game scheme

Doesn't matter who is on your DL if the ball comes out quick every play.

I mostly agree but I think Tank has been fine. He’s still ranking in the top 5 or top 10 of most relevant pass rush statistics while occupying all the double teams

But Ive read here that he sucks

 

[keysersoze]

We have a ton of almost sacks and strips. But I believe it comes from no push in the middle. all a QB has to do is step up and Quinn/ Lawrence fly right by.

This BINGO! Remember about a month ago 2 posters jumped me for saying lets get snacks, they said he would not help the pass rush because he was slow. I said to myself REALLY? he would push the pocket back into the QB and keep him from stepping up and help clog the running game, so guys like Jones would not kill us.

Yes, it does. Did you really not see Brady sucking it up in the super bowl?

i'll believe it when the next rb we face doesn't hang a buck fifty on us.
