You have to fire Eberflus

[Risen Star]

Yeah, they would have to promote someone and try to keep the defense language the same.

That's a non issue. All coaches use English.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I feel like he was forced on Schottenheimer because he knew the Jones’s.

We slowly went back in time to doing the Marinelli zone coverage garbage.

If Dallas doesn’t fire him tomorrow then don’t take this team serious going forward.

I know some of you want to blame players but you don’t have this many coverage busts & explosive plays with it being the players.

They’re clearly poorly coached & you can’t even accurately judge guys if they aren’t where they are supposed to be.

Should fire him for his own sanity. Do him a favor and cut him before he never gets hired again.

 

[Zordon]

Rob Ryan
Marinelli
Nolan
Kiffen

This is just what dumb and dumber do. And why I couldn’t believe some of you wanted Quinn gone.

 

[ZekeTrain]

This front office really excels at hiring coaches who do what they do with no attempt to fit or adapt to the players they have. Eberflus is just the latest example of this.

 

[nobody]

A little too soon for ever reaction firings. However, I agree that most of the blame for the defense falls on his shoulders.

While normally I'm for giving coaches with new schemes more time, the book on this guy was written when he was in Chicago. He needs to be fired yesterday.

 

[kskboys]

Eberflus is not even close to being the problem.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Guaranteed contracts. Ha ha. Go ahead and fire away.

 

[Aven8]

Wasn’t Flus hired before Schott?

You really shouldn’t give the players such an easy out. They don’t get a free pass because we run a zone

 

[MapleLeaf]

Might be time to simply admit it's a rebuild year and try to bounce back in '26.

I suspect this is what was the plan all along.

Give platitudes, but know that the cupboard is bare with the loss of talent and injuries.

We are all in for 2027/2028 when our premium picks are ready to contribute.

 

[CyberB0b]

Eberflus is not even close to being the problem.

He's definitely a problem. Jerry is the problem.

 

[kskboys]

He's definitely a problem. Jerry is the problem.

Possibly, but the talent level on D is so bad you really can't even tell.

 

[Kwyn]

Why they traded their best
Defender a week before the season

I’ve defended Micah as a player but I did, and still do, suport the trade.

Mainly because our “Dear Leader” acted like an evil schoolyard bully and the relationship was beyond repair. But, I also recognized that this team is going nowhere so we might as well move on.

 

[CATCH17]

I don’t.

They’re all collectively having mental mistakes.

I’ve watched these exact same players for years & I’ve never seen coverage busts like this.

This is make believe bad.

Yup, and get some picks to rebuild.

i'm not a fan of the Marinelli defense either- it's outdated and limited, and too many opposing teams are too well aware and well adjusted to it,
- plus its been said to be predictable. it's not a a bliz pressure scheme and relies too much on front four to generate a pas rush,

- Eberflus wants to be Tampa 2002 defense. Plus we don't haveball hak in this scheme. the guys that were once noted for that- are not coming cloe to making big plays
turnovers.

- It's been MASSIVE confusion and lack of confidence among players - especially in secondary ..

- Yes I'm one of those that believe they deeply miss Al Harris and his aggressive physical mode nature of coaching .. not the passive, soft zone that disuprts no one at the line, and somehow leaves opposing players wide open or somehow they keep getting behind the defense ..

- And how is it that NONE of our front line DL cannot generate ANY semblance of a pass rush ?? ... no Fowler, ...no Osa,.... no Solomon, ..no Sam Williams .
.no more thrill for rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku ... too many players are flat disappearing and making very little to zero impact. ..

- LB Marist was thought to be a rising future star .. but since Eberglus arrived ... ZERO impact.
At this pace and results, t season's end , Cowboys will once again change DCs and Ebby will be one and done, imo ..!!

If we don't turn this aroudn soon and we start out at 1-5 things will get even worse.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

I said in last week's game thread that Wilson would go back to looking like a washed up QB and tonight he only has 39 passing yards so far against KC. And has 2 INTs. This Cowboys defense bad enough to make 2025 Wilson and Caleb Williams look like top tier QBs for one game.

 

[ncelkins1]

As a coach, even if you can’t run what you want to, you have to adjust to the personnel you have. There’s been zero adjustments and it’s obvious the guys have zero clue *** is going on or their assignments. There’s not a lot of talent there but you have to at least try.

 

[cowboys1981]

I hate this bend but don't break defense. This will never work when you can't even pressure the QB. It seems like every reception was 10 plus yards.
