Yea, I've noticed the DL getting good penetration a bunch of times this year and the RB will just kind of dodge around it and find an open gap. Normally when you see that sort of penetration in other games you have players flying in to finish it off for a TFL or tackle for a short gain, with us you consistently see it turning into 4-5 yard gains.

The huge run to start the second half of the Tampa game was a perfect example, Williams drove his blocker 1-2 yards into the backfield and nearly into the lap of the RB, but there wasn't anybody flying in to finish the play when Irving slowed his momentum.

That tells me the back 7, or maybe the edge rushers, are mostly to blame.

If you’re going to be conservative and run on third. Then you should have also ran on second. Because even a moron knows that they would be attacking the slant pass.

Yep. I even said it before hand, run run run on that drive.

Gary...

He’s fucking awful. Always getting sucked inside and not setting his edge leading to big runs.

Aikman: The Cowboys shouldn't celebrate beating an injury-ravaged team.
Schotty: Let's celebrate!

2026 Cowboys Coaching Tracker: Arrivals, departures and latest news

The race has begun for the Cowboys to fill out their defensive coaching staff following the hiring of Christian Parker, and there's plenty to keep track of to begin this offseason.

Hyphen OLB coach who is called a "fast riser" here because he went from TCU and Baylor to Georgia for a few years... UGA which always has some of the best talent in the country.

The ILB coach is from SMU, too.

No idea why they thought these college guys would give us any edge. Maybe it was just Jerry's cheap ass budget.

I think we went too green with the defensive assistants. Should have gotten more experienced guys as opposed to up and coming college names.

Is it April 1 already?

Is it April 1 already?

In all fairness Parker didn't appear impressed either.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Is it April 1 already?

I think they did it specifically because he used to be in Philly so he beat his old team.

As an aside. Flournoy continues to be a solid to very good WR for us. You could do much worse than him as your #3 or even #2 receiver.
