Guess this means Carr is going to be playing CB instead of safety. I wonder how depleted the secondary has to get before Dallas calls ET... I’ve been against ET after his stunts in Baltimore but I’m 100% on board now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddy_z34 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Why cant they go 4-3 on 1st and 2nd down and 3-4 of 3rd downs. Sliding in Dlaw and Griffen as the ends with Aldon Smith and Gregory/Anae as the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) For the love of everything.... Michael Gehlken@GehlkenNFL 2h Cowboys LB Jaylon Smith said the defense "absolutely" could benefit by simplifying Mike Nolan's scheme. "Just allowing us more opportunity to (hone) in on what we're actually going to run in our game plan. ...With a smaller playbook, it gives us better opportunity to do that." Now it’s too complex? Seriously WTF? I’m thinking maybe some on this team are just too stupid, period. Hey Edited September 24, 2020 by WizardHawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players usually get what - 3 months or so to adjust to a new system? Instead they only had one, coupled with no pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with the fact no preseason to learn new techniques, new verbiage, new positions, it was only natural for this team to struggle on defense.

Roy Williams (safety) and Julius Jones are the only two that came to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jaylon that number might be closer to 25%, not even counting his missed rookie year. Jaylon's a really great story... but maybe the problem here is he's a little too aware of it. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2811653-the-jaylon-smith-experience-back-on-top-and-bringing-the-cowboys-with-him This was published when we were 8-5, a good but not great record, pumping up a good but not great defense. It's all right here- he seems like a good guy but more than a little arrogant. As he states, it's his defense, players respond to him, and they've sucked in most of the games since this article was published. Maybe win a playoff game or two before you authorize a puff piece on your "arrival" and your favorite type of Don Julio?

He’s been pretty mediocre since his rookie season, but this hasn’t engendered the same feelings of disdain as I’m starting to feel towards Jaylon. Probably because I fell hook, line, and sinker for Jaylon’s story of redemption/work ethic/inspiration/leadership that, at this point, seems like a total con job, and LVE’s injury issues don’t make him feel quite as much like a bait & switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
