The Defense Got Cooked On Outside Runs

[Ken]

Shouldn't be surprising to anyone, we had the same problem last year and we didn't do anything to fix it personelle wise.

using Safeties as LB has a disadv against run , it showed all day, I cant believe Kearse played so bad, LVE also,

they need good MLB who can correctly direct the defenders to ball carrier and also be physical in the run game, none of our LBs are , and Dono Wilson is probably not yet fully in.

Would like to see Harper on more then ST at the LB spot . At least rotate him with Bell .

This NE offense coming to town puts Belechick one yr closer to retirement . Bounce back week at home for Dallas D.

HERE'S WHY: OUR PASS RUSHERS OFF THE SNAP fly up the field like every play is a pass play, they conveniently run it right past them

Exactly what could it hurt at this point

This was the exact problem last year, runs right at Parsons. Quinn adjusted by using him more as a linebacker on early downs to help late last season. They adjusted in the 2nd half, but the damage was already done. Think many believe our run defense issue is up the middle, it is actually to the weakside edge.

Well, hopefully, against running teams, they'll use Parsons in the Lb spots to anticipate the run plays.

That's what Quinn did against the 49ers

And it helped. It's why I will trust DQ to fix the issue.

Good news is in the 2nd half they adjusted and were much better.

Philly and SF did the same thing to neutralize Parsons last year. Instead of trying to figure out how he was stunting and blocking him, they ran right at him. This is why he does not work as a full time DE. He needs to be a LB and rush from there

 

[Tabascocat]

I wonder if Sean Lee could suit up again?

This just in. Damone Clark is slow.

Can't be. He was already enshrined in Canton as of last season.

Zeke has to be licking his chops getting to face our run defense. He’s going to be highly motivated for this game. If he has a big game and the Cowboys lose, this board will completely melt down.

Zeke will do absolutely nothing against this D get over he is done.

Looks familiar

Reminds me of my dog's x-ray for tapeworms.

 

[Aven8]

That was the same problems we’ve seen out of the DQ defense for years. Funny thing is, we refuse to run outside on offense….always up the middle

 

[Mr_437]

Clark and LVE may be the slowest LBs in the league. Losing Overshown hurts

To lump Clark's speed in with slooow LVE is just wrong.

Vs the 49ers, DQ had to play Golston opposite DLaw to shut that run game down, just a thought.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

But we were told Mazi is a bust...

No, what you have been told is that players like Mazi don't actually impact the run game like fans pretend to believe.

Outside runs has been the problem for Dallas for the last 5 years, and it's because the LBers are TERRIBLE.

This D just gave up 181 yards rushing in the first half, the most for any Cowboys defense in 32 years and it was against a two TD underdog. You need to get over this D it’s not that good. I’ll be sure to bookmark your post if Zeke does something.
