CFZ This Defense Is The Biggest Bunch of Front Runners

There rushing killed us, thought we had turned the corner but it is still the weak link on the D.

Lol, Mike sure told the truth on that quote.

It’s pretty accurate lol

They’ve been that way for 3 years. Look all world when up by multiple scores. Suck when playing from behind.

It's all fun and games when they are winning by 20 plus points. And can pin back and let loose against a one dimensional offense. Where they can take chances in the secondary. They look awesome.

But when it comes down to a close game and the opposing offense can also run the ball, this defense reverts to something terrible. They play timid. Don't make any plays. Not only that, it's considered a miracle and a win when they actually make the opposing team punt. They give up a ton of big plays, especially when it matters. They get abused up front. Over 200 on the ground to a weak Arizona offense led by Dobbs. They embarrassed this defense today.

This thread isn't about the offensive struggles. That is for all those other threads. This is about the defense. All we hear is how great they are going to be and carry this team. And they look great a few games at a time but every season, revert back to this. If you can only make plays when up a ton, that is the mark of being front runners.

This defense is tissue paper soft up front and terrible against the run as usual. We saw the Giants gashing the defense in game 1 but the game got so out of hand so quick, Giants couldn't stick to it.

The defense is legit, they had a bad day. It started with Diggs going down and Quinn did not have them ready.

Defense is more emotional than offense and today we looked like we weren't interested

It's a passing league. Until a team runs the ball at you and you can't stop it.

Kind of inevitable Jerry Ball. The defense makes the highlight reels with INTs and Sacks, not run stops for 2 yards.

Mazi is our first real investment at run defense on the dline. We spent 1.5mil on Hankins. Osa's run defense is coming along, but he was drafted as more of a tweener.

They’re pretenders and they can’t handle it when another team gets physical.

The Cowboys defense will lay down every time.

No ! I don't want it to be said I'm a front runner fan like illustrated ^^^^^^ No claims that they are pretenders, No changin the song I'm singing.

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS !!!!!!!
