Defense is hugely important to the game and the interior DL is the foundation of the defense.
It’s really that simple.
Without defense you’re giving every retard team out there a chance to win unless your young QB performs flawlessly.
The Dallas defense did get better. We’d have been 4-12 otherwise.
But the team has a crazy blind spot regarding that flaw.
Here comes the overreaction draft— WR, TE, OG, LB, and change.
But you’ll get quick rushmen castoffs at DT and like it.
Definitely think the defense is a problem with this team, and has been for awhile. All the teams I’ve been watching in the playoffs do something well on defense. Whether it’s pressure the QB or cover well. All of them so far have created turnovers. Thats where Dallas gets in trouble.
Rogers on a bum calf with the Jags or Vikings D and he would have been roasted. Dallas simply cannot stop the guy because they don’t cover well, don’t stop the run well, and can’t pressure well.
Brees had plenty of time towards the end of the game but had no one open for the most part. Even when Sendejos went out the Vikings still held up well on the back end. The Saints had a great rush against Keenum, but had issues covering the WRs. So it’s a toss up.
Dallas really doesn’t do anything well for the most part and I think Marinelli has a lot to do with that. Some of it is talent, a lot is Marinelli.
