Was Cowboys DL good. Durde?

[xwalker]

What did Durde accomplish?

As a rookie, Parsons was at LB during training camp and only started 4 games at DE. He had 13 sacks.

Mazi didn't do anything as a rookie 1st round DT.

They often struggled to stop the run.

They were ranked near the top in pressures, but when the DC is OK with getting gashed by the run in order to get more pressures and you have Parsons, then pressures should happen often.

 

[CCBoy]

I'm off the top looking for more production from Parsons now.

Not really sure why all the hype of Durde other than his accent....and he was liked. I guess that would make you an incredible coach. The DL didn't impress, and was more a one trick pony with emphasis on applying pressure, but did not contain well and got gashed up the middle. Other than that, they were world beaters. Durde is not going to be running the defense, MacDonald is.. .that's the main reason he got hired.

I agree, we haven't seen much development up front. Players like Gallimore, Osa, Golston, Sam Williams, Armstrong never took that next step.

Depends. Is there any credits for having the British accent?

Because other than that, I'm not seeing any great loss

 

[shabazz]

Was that Durde or Quinn?

That's a good question.

I'll follow that by asking who's choice was it to repeatedly play our CBs 12 yards off the receivers when it's 3rd and 5?......Quinn or Al Harris?

 

[DuncanIso]

I think the Hawks liked what they saw in him.

Dudes have to start somewhere.

He probably works hard too. 18 hour days.

Has to be driven to advance.

I think Mazi is gonna get a look at 3T

If they can teach him some footwork....

Quinn for sure

DC coaches and calls play. DB coach is to get the most out of that scheme

 

[Risen Star]

This just suddenly occurred to him.


.....the day Durde left for another team.

He already got a look at 3T. He play most of his snaps at 3T

 

[RoboQB]

Good riddance.

Not good at all gave them too much credit

 

[zrinkill]

Parsons was getting triple teamed on the regular and nobody else could take over the game ........ that a problem in a lot of ways.

Hopefully Zimmer can fix all of them.

You think that was a Durde decision?

So the Ravens were being gashed by the run all this season with R Smith and Queen?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Zimmer? He was a terrible DC here. His defense gave up the most 200 yard rushing games ever in a season. Also the most rushing 1st.downs in a game. His DBs play16 yards off the ball and play only zone. Our DBs are man to man DBs and struggle in zone. What a disaster hire this is! Butch Davis and Dave Campo should be preparing for when Zimmer gets fired mid year.

He won't be the actual dcoord in Seattle but in name only kinda like Eric Bieniemy was in KC. He probably is a hard working man. Wish him luck.
