What has happened to the defense?

[Rayman70]

We need to somehow get out of this Dlaw deal

dude has been exactly what anyone who doesnt wear blue and white shades is... a bum who got paid

DLAW IS BUSY POSING FOR TWITTER PICS ...winning is secondary..HE GOT PAID...he checked out.

If last year was the crowning achievement for the defense, this defense stinks. They were nothing special last year and the Rams proved it.

now u know why the pats don't pay players huge contracts they find younger cheaper players to take their place like that young brandon knight Collins was given huge contract that he didn't live up to

The team is just a disaster.

Ignoring interior DT in the offseason.

Wasting a 1st and 2nd round pick, and another 2nd round pick on a risky player. Out of a 1st, and two 2nds on the DL, we only have Hill on the roster.

Need to figure out how to judge who'd be okay to keep with a new coach. A lot of guys on defense undeniably have talent, not sure how we do that though.

Scheme Is trash

The same thing happened in Seattle under Richard. You know what they say about the definition of insanity.

They cannot get pressure consistently with the front 4 giving QBs like SAM DARNOLD to.look like pro bowlers. Need to be more inventive on both sides of the ball versus same old predictable play calling. I can't believe the play we ran on the 2 point conversion after knowing the jets were going to blitz up the middle....why not.move the pocket or call or a timeout?

We are all so high on this team mainly because of the defense, at least I was. The offense I expected to be good but not great. The defense was supposed to be our calling card and it is not the dominant unit we saw at points last year. So what happened fellas?

A little more time preparing for games and a lot less time coming up with cute nicknames would help.

Lol what scheme?

“go out there and run around..tackle someone if you can....juiceboxes are on the sideline if you want one”

 

[nobody]

The defensive scheme is outdated and has been figured out. Good QB's slice it up....add in that the D-line isn't as talented as people think and it's a recipe for struggles.

Games are won or lost on the lines.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

This D hasn’t passed the eye test in about 25 years.....

DLaw. It starts with him. He got paid.

The D gets the most disrespect. Every week, a team goes for it on 4th down. They don't fear them and there's a reason why.

Exactly

This team is trash !!!! No excuse for this mess !!!

 

[dreghorn2]

There is a reason the Cowboys are last in the league at avg. drive start.

What happened to the Defense?

Two words: Hot Boyz

 

[KingintheNorth]

Cant stop the run when it matters (flawed philosophy on defensive tackles) and suspect in deep coverage (garbage safeties are nowhere to be seen).

Lawrence has been mediocre as well. Thought Quinn's return would rejuvenate him, but he's been a non-factor.

 

[Rayman70]

WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR DLINE A MONEKER LIKE HOT BOYZ...ya better perform.
