What has happened to the defense?

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

He's hardly ever on the field in 2nd and 3rd and long anymore...that's on the coaching staff. Nor do you see him paired w/ Quinn either...

jerry still thinks we are in the 90's and football is won by the check he writes before the cap. He has failed to understand, talent is great, but you MUST HAVE COMPETENT LEADERSHIP AS COACHES!!!! We lack that.

Cowboys were good in 2016 because of the Oline. Allowed them to get big leads, rest the D, dominate, and then tee off on the one dimensional offense of the other team.

Sorry for saying just shut up. I thought that was another pappy response blaming the offense and Dak. Id have to look at t.o.p. to agree with that, but I think there is some merrit. Fact of the matter is last years D looks like an illusion. Best LBS in the league look like an illusion, Dline looks like an illusion,the secondary looks like ect.

Ponder this : how many interceptions might we have this year if we weren't playing that sorry crap defensive back technique Richard brought over and we were starting Jourdan Lewis, who has the best playmaking skills in the secondary, because he's a couple of inches shorter than Richard prefers. Screw Richard!

at this point..FIRE HIM TOO. I have defended this guy, but cant now. Lewis not starting is dumb. hes our best DB..and hes got that dude on the bench lol

It appears our two young LBers, who were absolutely balling last year, have gone MIA.

Oline played much better in the 2nd half. They did make some nice adjustments in the game. however, the first half GP was abysmal and the team was unprepared.

Defense is just bad. Jets QB was sacked 10 times last week.

DAK PLAYED UNDER TREMENDOUS DURESS AND PLAYED WELL AGAIN. He kept us in it. THE D is the issue.

Both sides of the ball sucked in the first half... and sucked hard. However, in the second half, the defense held the Jets to 3 points. What's the Offense's excuse?

Dak contributed to the loss by helping them dig that hole in the first place. Fact.

 

[CWR]

Stop trying to derail the blame to the defense! Can't win when you're kicking FG all game long!

Yeah I agree, 3 points wont get it done. Still doesn't make up for the fact our d has been trash. They were supposed to be our calling card, along with a dominant run game.

we dug a hole in the first half and never recovered. THE DEFENSE DID THAT.

Pass rush just is not there now. Lack of pressure exposes everything else.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Why does everyone only talk about the defense when the offense sucks as well???

we have linebackers?

thought it was 8 men on the field

Dak dak dak. Yeah his pass catchers had about 6 drops too. That didn't help the cause.

 

[foofighters]

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?

Speak for yourself. I have not been high on the #notboyz. They've never been really that great.

Well, not all of it. 4 trips inside the 20 and only 3 points.

 

[Floatyworm]

Lack of DT talent continues to burn us. Rams exposed it using the run game in the playoffs last year, Green Bay exposed it last week, and we're getting no pressure up the middle and QBs are torching our secondary.

Trysten Hill is learning a hell of a lot on the inactive list....

Dak dak dak. Yeah his pass catchers had about 6 drops too. That didn't help the cause.

You speak as if I placed all the blame on him. All I said was that he contributed. He did. The Cowboys offense sucked in their final drive. They lucked out by the Jets interference calls. Dak's decision making on a few plays were poor, just as his decision making on the 2 point conversion was poor.

He's by far not the main problem, but he didn't help all that much either. Dude's a warrior though and keeps fighting. He did help bring them back to try to win.

Good for you. The general consensus was Dallas had a tough young defense. Im not on an island here.

WE DID MORE THAN ENOUGH ON OFFENSE TO WIN, THE D put Dak in a bind.
