The Great Big We Have No Pass Rush Thread

[Rampage]

behind the 8 ball? you mean like the way the Eagles were after we beat them last September?

yeah it is a loss "worse" than most losses in terms of tiebreakers etc but it isn't like the Giants will run the table in the division and we still have a game against them later in the year to get them back.

difference is the eagles play better in december.

Pretty sure SS's, well the good ones, can tackle reliably.

that's why he's playing FS

Our pass rush is in Oakland....(ducks)...just kidding guys...

It seems to be the trend in the past couple of years that it takes our D about a month to get going.

What does their being undefeated or not being undefeated have to do with us? We have to take care of our games, let them worry about their games. The fact of the matter is we lost a division game at home, and that means something even ignoring all the people that are upset over the loss. A division loss means something.

you kinda countered your own argument there.

Unless they go undefeated in our division us losing this game doesn't matter unless we end up with identical records.

the odds are against that, so like I said, it will likely end up just a loss.

the second giant game just got more important, but this one is just a loss.

Did the defense run a lot of 5 or 6 man rushes and not connect, or did Wade dial back the number of guys coming in (possibly to stop the run?)?

Seemed to me that we were not rushing that many that much of the time. If we were, that is bad....

Oh I get it, only the ones you win or have yet to lose matter, got it.

[Monster Heel]

that's why he's playing FS

So basically he's just a bad safety? Gotya.

He should NOT be playing, at least for the Cowboys. And Cowboys can no longer afford to wait on Spencer. Make a trade for a proven pass rusher, the sooner the better.

game 2

the over reactions to game 2 when we were still in it with a minute left in the game seem quite off to me.

the only reason it was a bigger game than the bucs is because the fans think it was, it was the second game of a 16 game season.

It really didn't mean anything but a loss.

The defense was on the field too much and that was the offenses fault. It's silly not to expect the defense to screw up some as much as they were on the field tonight.

Every game is a big game.

When is that "later in the year" game? December? LOL.. yeah ok...

Seriously, you win these games and you aren't talking about trying to get anyone back.. but whatever floats your boat.

that December stuff has to end sooner or later.

I guess though since you have already figured we won't win that month, you won't be watching.

lol yeah

he can't be good at either position is what I'm saying

Sadly, I will be watching and hoping as usual... It's a vicious addiction.

...not that he's a pass rusher (as if we have one right now), but I thought Olshansky was a beast in the middle tonight.

 

[Da Hammer]

we get no damn pressure unless we blitz multiple guys and even then we still get burned a lot. Spencer is really gonna have to improve his pass pass rushing abilities and be consistent. if he doesnt our Defensive is in big trouble because its a spiral effect toward our entire D. Secondary is just plain awful so far without pressure!

I guess we can contact the Crypt Keeper in Oakland and try to get Ellis back. He's doing well for Oakland.
