We need a big bodied somewhat athletic NT or DT in the middle to take on double teams and hold point of attack so that rest of 'Rush men ' can get home, Hayden is literal push over

Marinelli does not believe in the traditional 1-T that we all think of. I don't get why people don't acknowledge that.

Does not make it right, but that is what is going on.

He wants "rush men". You know, like Nick Hayden.

Your "Jerra" schtick is quite stale, but on to your ranting about the defense. What exactly did you want the Cowboys do this past off season. They signed Hardy, drafted Jones, Gregory, Wilson, and Russell. Exactly what were you expecting from this defense?

Does it consarn you that you half 3 K's in yourn screen name? Something subliminal?
Butt to to your preening defense off the defense:

i do not fault Jerra's proactivity this offseason.
I was referring largely to the sum off the whole: a sub-average group off journeymens, inesperienced or overrated players.
As to what I was especting, I was especting a defense that could win one measly game in the absinthe off Romo. I am still waiting, but I guess this defense cant because it is sub-average.
Is that too much to ax? Huh? HUH??

Defense is not the problem. When you can't score a single TD, winning is hard to do.

Besides Hardy, the rest are jags are average at rushing the passer. That nascar package is not going to be as good as we thought.
Crawford has 5 sacks for his career, most he has ever had in a season is 3.
Hayden is a joke with a career total of 2 sacks.
Gregory is unknown right now.
Lawrence has 1 sack this year
And last is Mincey who has a career total of 26 sacks in his 8 year career, with the most he ever had in a season is 8.
They went against a horrible Seattle line and managed 0 sacks.

You're ignorant. This defense is better than most in the NFL. They're playing a lot of minutes because of ineffective QB play and are getting tired in the 4th qtr. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

You did see what happened on the last drive right? Focusing more on getting a sack and lost containment on a couple of crucial 1st down runs by Wilson? They were more focused on containing Wilson than getting sacks most of that game and for the most part it worked.

Yes...just watch D Lawrence put one foot the wrong way and Wilson was able to get outside. You don't blindly rush Wilson...he will make you pay each and every time...he is deceptively quick.

Didnt Dallas lead time of possession in this game and the giants?.....youre an idiot who has never been on a team in his life.

It pains me to agree with this but I have to...for the moment. One thing I do want to see is does this defense get better once few turnovers go their way. Just way too much talent to not be dynamic.

No need for name calling. It's not just physical but mental. The defense knows the offense can't do squat. That wears on you. I played baseball my whole life .

Exactly. They came into the game with the same game plan as last season. Stop Lynch and maintain lane integrity 1st and foremost on Wilson. Make him beat you from the pocket. They executed it exceptionally well, it just wasn't enough for the anemic offense.

And by the way I never said the defense is the reason we lost, just pointing out our dline is not as good as we thought it was

You are ignorant. That's not the same as calling someone an idiot. Ignorant means you are just uninformed. Idiot refers to a person with severe retardation. Now you're showing your lack of intelligence.

It's ignorant because you are relying on one stat and one stat only. The Cowboys had the 8th rated team in total defense prior to this weekend. I'd venture to guess they moved up a few notches after this weekend.

Please NIck Hayden and " Rush man " not in same sentence , he is always pushed back off the ball , may be he recovers and participate in tackle ( but 5-6 yards back)

But we need to give credit where due, the defense played well y'day keeping the Hawks in check except the last FG possession where Wilson did something with his legs and moving the pocket and making throws . Anemic offense which couldn't punch in from under 10 yards and play calling , gutless coaching did us in
