The Ernster has spoken.
McCarthy also had teams with low penalties in the past. Everything changes in Dallas.

The vast majority of coaches hired in the NFL are a re-tread. That's not really an insult.Another re-tread
I cannot recall. Were you a part of the GROZ movement?The vast majority of coaches hired in the NFL are a re-tread. That's not really an insult.
If we were to hire Bill Belichick, he'd be a re-tread. Andy Reid hired in KC was a re-tread.
Fuck no. Wasn't that a Zone thing? Anything and anybody from that place is irreversibly retarded.I cannot recall. Were you a part of the GROZ movement?

Al Harris may have had just as much to do with the turnovers as Quinn.I thought about the same thing.
I am not going to lie, Quinn brought a brand of defensive football to Dallas that has not been seen since Gene Stallings and Thurman's Thieves. It was very exciting and it won us some games we had no business winning.
But let's be completely honest, it was not a sustainable model for defensive football when it came to playing better teams.
Quinn could fuck up a Tommy DeVito or something, but when it came to powerhouse teams, we could not compete.
Hell, even fucking Josh Dobbs had his way with it.
The turnovers were always an issue with the D under Zimmer. In Minny, it was nothing in comparison to Quinn these last few years.
Maybe that is it. All I know is that this is not what I expected to be talking about a month ago.
They can keep the offense in the game? Even if they are playing lousey it doesn't mean you can't still win with great defense. And vice versa. The defense had no business beating Seattle last year for example but great offense won that game.How much can any defensive Coordinator do if the offense collapses in games that are critical for a successful season?
All probably true but to win a game you need to score points. If the offense goes into a shutdown mode and doesn't score enough the game will get out of control. The defense is going to start leaking if they have to stay on the field more than are conditioned to do. Trying to win games with the defense will eventually cause some breakdown due to fatigue from too much playing time. I know all the philosophies about defense is king but in the final analysis the offense has to be able to score more than the opponent does.They can keep the offense in the game?

It is acceptable to win a defensive battle every once in awhile. Shutting a team out while the offense hangs 40 feels a bit like empty success. But that's a little how our defense has been. They thrive off of leads and destroying one dimensional teams. I'd like to see the defense destroy someone who isn't forced to be one dimensional.
I think we are close to saying the same thing.They can keep the offense in the game? Even if they are playing lousey it doesn't mean you can't still win with great defense. And vice versa. The defense had no business beating Seattle last year for example but great offense won that game.

Team laid goose eggs when he was the DC here in 2005-06. Not like anything is going to change. Just a coach that the Jones cabal feels comfortable around.Another re-tread

Agreed, I think I even said as much earlier in the thread.It's more McCarthy than anything. Quinn himself has said as much.
He has a better track record than you give credit. That 2003 season when Quincy made the playoffs for example, while we still ran a 4-3 (For those that want to credit Parcells) gave up the fewest yards of any defense in the NFL. 6 games alone we held the other team under 10 points.Team laid goose eggs when he was the DC here in 2005-06.
