Dallas builds outside in, instead of inside out. We are very weak up the middle on defense and have been forever now. Which is why we get abused come playoff time year after year. We don't value the inside of the trenches. We love the flash of the outside skill players.
This is how the great recent defenses like Tampa, Seattle, NYG, Baltimore, Denver built themselves. Inside out. Every one of those teams won a Super Bowl, too. We don't generate any pressure up the middle. Teams can establish the run with ease on us. We wear down as the game goes along.Pressure, especially right in the QB's face, is the key to stopping any QB. I don't care if you are Mahomes, Brady, Montana, etc. No QB is immune to playing worse under pressure.
Our defense time and time again just sits back and lets these QBs have all day to throw. Even backup QBs at this level will pick you apart if you give them all day. Especially in today's game where defenses can't play that physical in the secondary and you have guys running open at a high rate. But we'd rather pay top money for outside speed rushers and DBs and cheap out where it counts. And yet, it never ever has worked.
