Where was Rolando McClain?

[CowboyStar88]

The blame should be aimed at Crawford and Nick whatever his last name is...

Hey you watch it and respect the Golden cock!


Just kidding I hate that guy

 

[Doomsay]

I was impressed with our adjustments after getting gashed by the run early. It looked like a long night on defense at that point with the quick release, but they held tough and didn't give Eli his usual bs deep PI's.

 

[CowboyStar88]

He was out of position or on his back.

He got trucked but still made the tackle he was moving sideways and was not set on that play

He was a nonfactor, just like all of his teammates on that side of the ball.

No more excuses for these guys. We haven't forced A SINGLE TURNOVER since Week 2. We've forced 3 all year, DEAD LAST in the NFL. Oh, and those 3 all came in 1 game.

That's how you go 0-4 with backup QBs: other units not stepping up and making plays. They were supposed to carry us with Romo out and they have failed.

During those gashes up the middle, where was Rolando McClain? Except for his untimely hands-to-the-face on third down, I didn't hear his name. He was a point of weakness all game.

Is he the best solution at middle linebacker?

Dude looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane..................last year he was just bringing it every down and this year he is getting trucked by some scrub RB for the Giants?

Almost makes me think he was juicing last year and this year he is off it.

Think you're being a little hard on them. They haven't forced turnovers, but against New England they got no help from the offense. Yesterday they got a little bit, but still after an awful first half defensively against the run they shored it up and were a lot better with their gap control. Held the Giants to under 250 yards of offense.

We don't have enough playmakers on defense. There aren't gonna be a lot of turnovers. It is what it is. Offense needs to put up more points. They left at least 10 points on the board. Gotta finish drives.

The TO part is troubling.. We've also had a few overturned by penalty. It's like every time this Defense makes a play or a pick they get called for a penalty. We've also had some that were overturned on replay that were close. A couple of fumbles.

Sean Lee, Rolando McClain, Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory aren't playmakers? We're dead last in turnovers forced; are we dead last in defensive talent?

Why is it too much to ask for ONE turnover? We forced a ton last season.

Bend-but-don't-break is fine when you have a top-notch offense that can outscore teams. But when you have a backup QB, you need to help him out. You have to win the turnover battle. And you can't win the turnover battle if you never force a turnover.

That's as big a reason for these losses as anything else. We're allergic to making plays on that side of the ball and it's killing us. For as much as Weeden was criticized, he actually played pretty well vs Atlanta and New Orleans. Of course, the D took those games off, so we are where we are.

Always seems like other teams have players running free in our secondary or underneath. Where other teams defense look like they have crowds around our WRs.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Not his best game. But the defense gave up 13 points.

Let's not go scapegoating. We will need Ro.

 

[Bay10]

He had a bad game. I hope he's just shaking the rust off.

 

[DallasInDC]

The Cowboys lined up really awkwardly quite a few times, like they thought they knew something, but in reality didn't. The DT's also both line up shockingly wide considering how bad they were gashing us up the middle. They did it in the Atlanta game too. I understand you want your DL to get up field, but when they line up that wide it takes no effort to turn them and a C and/or guard are to the next level in no time.

I thought schematically this was one of the worst games Marinelli has called. After not adjusting versus New England, he really needed to come out and show he was in-tune with the game. I didn't see it at all.

Didn't the Giants mention after the last game we were calling out their plays? If that's the case, maybe they set us up in the first half as we tried to anticipate their plays based on some tendencies we saw but they ran plays counter to their tendencies.

 

[Rogerthat12]

He got trucked but still made the tackle he was moving sideways and was not set on that play

Rolando had a bad game.

 

[DallasDomination]

People say where was Mcclain...better yet where has Lee been since week 2?

 

[Sportsbabe]

SB tells us how you really feel! I'm with you one bad game isn't a big deal. I expect better of him of course because I hold him to a high standard of a SOB MLB. I have no doubts he will bounce back.

Lack of sleep and tired of losing.

 

[30yrheel]

This guy's head is not right. You can't trust him on whether he's ready to play or if he even wants to play.

 

[TheCount]

Yes he is the best solution. One bad game doesn't make him a bust. Just like everybody was wailing and gnashing their teeth after the first quarter because Cassell didn't look all world.

Some times I feel like calling up a woman beater on some of y'all. Its so easy for y'all to look for the next freak train to come along before you give the one you're sleeping with a chance.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Rolando had a bad game.

I agree I was just defending him

No where and frankly I am getting tired of his inconsistency. Hope they part ways this offseason
