What was Boone doing? Load the bases. You have a force at every base and still have the opportunity for the double play which is Cruz specialty. It would have brought Abreu up after the error that cost them the lead.
@dallascowboys For once can you hold one of your coaches accountable? Detroit has walked all over this D and even up only 3 looks like they aren’t worried one bit. #FireEberflus
Trade Pickens for a late 2nd round pick to a contender. Trade Javonte Williams to a contender for a late 3rd. They have value and the cowboys need picks. They still might have a chance to resign in the offseason if they want to. Oh and fire Eberflus and hold someone accountable for once.
I’m not going to complain about the obvious missed hold on the first play of the second half. Arizona would have marched down the field and scored regardless. This defense is atrocious #MNF
The Cowboys defense has had to hear for two months now about how they are among the worst at what they do professionally in the history of their profession.
And yet they are STILL committed to playing the way that they are.
Dying on the dumbest possible hill.
And the Cowboys Defense is back to being the Cowboys Defense. If this continues through the game. Eberflus needs to be fired. Save the little chance they have to make the playoffs.
JERRY: Fire Eberflus now. It’s your only hope. Player for player, your defense is so much better than this. They have quit on Eber-fraud and his brain-locking zones.
Outside of Micah, what is the biggest difference between this defense and past years? They currently lead the league with 92% of plays being Zone Coverage. In years past it’s in the 60’s and they were top 10 in Man Coverage usage. That’s a scheme issue not a personnel. They have the personnel to put together an average D. They’d have a winning record if they could even put together a top 25 defense…
Cowboys fans are frustrated because we can see the potential on the team, mainly in the offense. This offense is elite, but the defense is horrible. It’s hard for me to believe that the problem with the defense is a personnel issue. To me, when nearly every piece of the defense is failing, that’s an issue with coaching, not personnel. This team has players that are talented, we’ve seen it in the past and we’ve seen flashes of some this year. I personally think the defensive talent they do have doesn’t match the scheme of Eberflus wants to play. This stops being a defensive coordinator issue when the HC and front office don’t address the problem.
