Rod and Linehan is not the problem. It's the person making the team decisions. The D has been better under Rod than it has since Wade in 2009. If anything, if I was Linehan I'll blast JJ. He told them who he wanted as the back up but what did we do? Shove Cassell in his face and force him to work with Weeden. One of the biggest mistake this team made is trading for Cassell, forcing him to learn and execute this offense in a month. Only now is this guy feeling comfortable. If we took the logical approach and played Moore MAYBE we would be 4-4.

What has Kellen Moore done? Yeah I agree he should start now because the season is lost, but saying a guy who wasn't even on an active roster should've been starting with Romo out and has no experience is ridiculous. Yeah Jerry is a moron and made a number of terrible decisions this past summer, but Rod definitely deserves some blame. We take no chances on defense. We play bend, but don't break and that hasn't worked for THREE years. At some point you have to change things up. Linehan is the play caller. Yeah it's Garrett's offense, but he can still mix up the calls better. Instead of going run, run, pass out of a spread. That's pathetic.

This is Wilcox's potential! Get over it all ready. The kid has never showed anything but flashed of athleticism. This is who he is.

Moore should have been up after Weeden is my main point not Cassell. There is reason why Linehan faught to bring him here. He knows the offense he was already ahead of Cassel in that aspect. There is no, Yeah play Moore now, for what? We might as well keep Cassel playing. We will be going against logic again. Why play Moore at this point ? Romo comes back healthy in a week and he needs to finish the season regardless.

Who is getting fired..Fans that can't detect sarcasm for Broaddus?

I see why Broaddus gets crucified on Twitter all the time , he acts like a 10 year old with the way he responds to fans. The guy has to be in his 50's and he can't handle himself on Twitter better than this? Even threatened to quit his job because of getting into with fans on Twitter. Smh

Yesterday we just got beat.

As much as I like our defense I know they are not dependable and I don't know if it's scheme or talent because I don't think the talent on that side of the ball is that bad.

It's not the talent!!!

They have all the ingredients on D, yet they can't make a tasty meal! The cook needs to go!

A little of both.....Crawford is playing out of position.....he's a LDE. We don't have enough DTs worth a damn. Marinelli's scheme is crap. He needs to throw out that single high safety Defense and just roll w/ a cover 2. That's just for starters......

*Correction*
We don't have any DTs worth a dam.

We may have found one in Irving.

I think that David Irving might have something to bring to the table.....but after that the pickings are slim.

Maybe, just goes to show you how bad we are at DT when a guy we sign of another teams practice squad is outplaying every other DT. Hopefully this is addressed in the draft.

Remember back when "almost anthony" would come up with sacks/ ff in the clutch? I thought hardy would have filled that role but he seems to have disappeared as of late.

Agree with this.
But again, it's another DE trying to play DT. He's a big guy, but not big enough for a DT. That's half our problem, maybe Crawford would be better at 3-tech. If we had a big strong 1-tech next to him eating up the double teams. - but we don't. .....

Nobody is getting fired today, but that big axe will fall at the end of the season. I don't see anything Jerome Henderson has done to help this team. His unit is the most underachieving part of the team. How many years and how many draft picks have been wasted in his tenure? Most of the secondary looks like they have no idea what the receiver is trying to do so they just chase guys all over the field. Sean Lee and Greg Hardy have intercepted more passes than the cornerbacks. Inexcusable. Good coaches get job offers to move up to coordinator positions. Bad coaches eventually get fired and I think JJ's sense of loyalty has hurt this defense for years. They ought to offer the job to Woody. Ok. Enough rant.
