Zimmer>Quinn

[kevm3]

This was one game. We were teeing off on the Giants QB this time of year last year. Need to see a larger sample size first.

I know I know it was the browns offense. But it’s nice to see a coordinator who prioritizes stopping the run. Who will adjust.

Quinn’s defenses were fine… but face a team that got the ball out quickly or could run the ball and we got gashed. He had no answers. In my opinion Micah made Quinn look better than he was.

I feel like and mentioned this with my friends yesterday, the defense looks more sound with Zimmer. It was consistent and maintained. With Quinn, there were splash plays galore, but then huge mistakes. It was a roller coaster with Quinn. I am enjoying what Zimmer is doing with the D, and the players respect it.

 

[Cowboys=SuperBowl]

Zimmers defenses are MUCH more structurally sound than Quinns EVER were. Quinn is all about getting sacks and pressures so much so that he will leave gaps wide open due to all of his risk taking. Against poor or average teams his defenses dominated. Against great teams he can be easily gashed and taken advantage of . Quinn is smoke and mirrors,...a fraud

I was saying the same exact thing!

 

[DUO_CORE]

Quinn was 2 or 3 good linebackers short of a great defense last year.

 

[Runwildboys]

Lol. We'll see. The defense is mostly the same as last year so.......we'll see

LBs are better. That should go a long way.

The Browns were missing their starting OT’s and couldn’t block anyone. That makes defense a lot easier. Not to mention that I don’t think Watson is a starting level QB anymore and no Chubb to carry the offense.

I think our D will be fine overall, but I’m not going to get too excited beating a handicapped offense.

Zimmer has always been a great defensive coordinator. He was not a good head coach. The fact that we have him as our DC, should make our defense even better than last year. I would not want him as our HC, but LOVE what he will do in the DC spot for us. Yesterday showed that.

 

[dblock125]

I did like hearing Brady say that Zimmer's defenses were always the toughest for him because of all of the different schemes and nuances

 

[Cowboy_svt]

Feel like Quinns getting a lot of hate but he did a good job

That said i felt he definitely checked out last season and im happy Zimmers back, the defense just looks solid.

No it’s not.

 

[Havic]

Lol. We'll see. The defense is mostly the same as last year so.......we'll see

Big if but if Kendrick, overshown, Carson, mazi, and kneeland all make big leaps that’s a pretty big overhaul from last season

 

[Praxit]

.....just observation from one game. The canniness of Zimms D. Dallas players were in right spots at right time.

Quinns approach, was spotty, gaps everywhere.

Seemed like he overloaded areas, to create advantages.

 

[blueblood70]

Lol. We'll see. The defense is mostly the same as last year so.......we'll see

seriously not even close they're running a completely different scheme, and they have Phillips, Joseph, Kendrick's, &Overshown all whom were not on the team last year and add in Liafu and Carson.. Bland will be back but was missing game 1..

Some of y'all say things to say things and not realize how important just those players I mentioned above did last Sunday and just say oh it's all the same.. It's not zim plays more 2 Deep safety splits and more zone but can call man. so whn needed can adjust and get help, he brings pressure from everywhere not just up front.

So maybe a lot of the core players are still there but this is not the same team it's not the same defense at all it's not even close...

 

[blueblood70]

No it’s not.

These casuals that make statements without realizing its inaccurate,

yeah maybe the large amount of the core players are still there but Mike zimmer's defense is completely different and the players we added yes in the offseason all the way up to the game one make this team better, just the linebacker core alone but overshone and Kendricks are one of the reasons we won the game Sunday they were not even on the team last year as far as playing...

 

[blueblood70]

How did our defense look week 1 last year?

Yeah but that doesn't make it the same... We shouldn't be anointing anyone I get it but this defense will be more steady and consistent because it doesn't play hero ball the the pressures in the scheme for Dan Quinn is either all or nothing it's feast or famine it's what they do they like to play fast and loose and they like turnovers that's not Mike Zimmer Mike Zimmer has 50 play calls and he likes to put players in the right positions to keep the game in front of him downhill his linebackers the center of his defensive line all are different and you can't see the difference even from game one and we're missing bland then you ain't paying attention....

No one's saying they're gonna play like that all year and not have some problem games but this is nothing like Dan Quinn's defenses....

 

[Rockport]

Lol. We'll see. The defense is mostly the same as last year so.......we'll see

how exactly is the defense the same as last year? Did you watch the game against Cleveland where they stopped their vaunted running game? I swear some people don’t watch the games and just look at the score.

 

[starfan1]

after game1 yes i agree. I want to see more this is also the same guy that used to drive me nuts with the CB's playing so far off the line as to not get beat deep. well see if hes adjusted

i really think having competent linebackers is the difference. maybe zim is instilling more discipline, but losing our lbs or them playing injured or out of position was really their achilles heel

I have been saying the same thing since last year. Quinn is overrated as a DC. He was abused last year in the playoffs and while Dak got all the criticism look at how his defense came up in the big game. It is too soon to tell if Zimmer's D is better than Quinn's but I do think Quinn's defense was good because of Micah Parsons. Parsons will help Zimmer look better too, but Quinn was not as indispensable as some people thought in the past. In some ways he hurt the Cowboys defense.

Quite an overreaction after just 1 game, where Quinn was the DC for several years. We have to see how the season plays out to determine who is the best for this team!
