Things that got exposed

[glimmerman]

Stopping the run needs better players at UT(3tech). That's what you're seeing.

And our LBs are not filling the gaps.

The only scapegoat was McCarthy. He knew it was himself, too. It was the first thing out of his mouth. That makes two games. I'm pretty sure Dak misses Kellen Moore.

12 vs 10 points in last two games vs 49ers
Huge loss

 

[glimmerman]

I didn't notice us rotating Parsons much. He's always on the field. And we relied on him too much, and they dismantled his game, on most plays.

I would still like to see Parsons at LB against teams like San Fran. I can see why they'd use him at the edge mostly against the Eagles. But if we play the 9ers again, I want Parsons at LB. JMO.

Agree. They throw at him. All night you watch him blitz and they let him come and throw over him and run at him. Play him at LB and he could stop the run.

 

[kskboys]

Yup. We lack talent there and at 3 tech.

If you'll remember, these were two big worries preseason.

The o line is a problem. Decent pass blocking, awful run blocking against decent defensive teams.

The defense has also affirmed that they don't look that great if they are playing a discipilned team and can't get 5 turnovers or get to the QB.

We already knew the offense stunk.

There's not much 'new' that got exposed. We feast on mediocre teams and get spanked by great ones, which has been the theme since forever.

 

[rangers71]

Dak was bad and has gotten worse and I have defended him and we need to move on yes but you guys act like QB's grow on trees. It might take 15 years to find someone as good as Dak.

Overshawn was a big loss. We needed to play Parsons at LB last night. We have pass rushers.

 

[Aven8]

Kearse is not playing very well

 

[Cowboy_svt]

Overshawn was a big loss. We needed to play Parsons at LB last night. We have pass rushers.

im not sure we do
Dlaw has been good overall but the passrush seems meh, Armstrong and Williams are MIA, Osa is doing more dirty work but at the expense of the pass rush

1. Pollard. I still like him, but he absolutely is not an up the middle RB. Desperately need a pounder to side him. Going into the season w/ him as the starter and two more little dudes as backups never made sense.
2. DT-3 tech. Hankins was beastly last night, but the play of the guy beside him was just poor. I like Osa and Golston, I do, but they need to be the rotational guys. We need that guy, the one who consistently pushes the pocket and disrupts the QB. That is one of the reasons Micah was ineffective last night, not enough push up the middle. Mazi was a start, but we need to start building up the DLine w/ topnotch disruptors. Average is not getting it done.
3. WR. I like Lamb, but he's more of a 1B type WR. Need that monster there.
4. LB. Need better ones.
5. TE. I like Fergie, but we miss that getting open ability that Schultzie brought. I know, I know, y'all hate Schultzie, but we are missing the one thing that he does at a very high level: Getting open. It continually amazes me how that is so underrated by so many fans. He killed it for Houston yesterday, BTW.
6. S. We do have decent ones now, but we're still missing that CF ballhawk type FS.

Anything I missed?

Last season CeeDee proved to me that he was a true #1 ,not only in terms of production but also in terms of toughness ( which I didn’t think he had)

the problem with CeeDee is not having a #2 or #3 receiver, or legit running game, to take some of the heat off him. Cooks and Gallup have been non factors and the Tight Ends haven't exactly excelled either

Put CeeDee on the Chiefs, Dolphins or Bills and his numbers would be through the roof. He’s stuck with a dud at the Qb position and an inept offense around him.

 

[tarheeldave]

Dak is not the guy. Shouldn’t even be in the same sentence with Romo. If Dak had Romo’s coaches and defense, he would be out of the league by now. A 6-10 or 5-11 quarterback. Sure, Jones is a bad GM with Dak’s contract, but Dak is a joke. And everyone saw Dak pee his pants last night.

Highly possible. I'm torn on this one a bit because I definitely like him as a player.

BTW, I was not being derogatory toward him by calling him a 1B type. There is absolutely no shame in being a 1B.

You think Dak just now got exposed? Where you been?

Anything you missed? lolololol

Yeah, but it was on purpose and you know what it was.

the QB was exposed before but he has to be top of your list as QBs in the NFL make or break a franchise as they touch every offensive play.
paralysis in frisco regarding the quarterback has to end .

Another thing to Add to this list is the fact that the head coach is in over his head and the game has passed him.

 

[Momanpr100]

I'm still thinking that Parsons might have been exposed as DE. Too many times last night I saw the RB run right by him.

He's to small for that position. He needs big bodies in front of him, like in a 3-4

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I'm pretty sure the feeling is not mutual.

Absolutely. There are a plethora of threads about that, it'd be nice to have a convo about other issues. Our D got torn a new one last night, what are you seeing as the problem there?

Yes, the QB was exposed 3 years ago.
