When the defense provides five turnovers and has to endure all the 3 and outs and the seven punts, where's the choke? Although I never did that, I lay the blame on that loss on the defense where it belongs. But of course only one team all year stopped Denver - I suppose if I were blaming Romo I...

And, you never saw one.

Not at all, I said earlier redball gets enamored with what he sees on film, and sticks with it too long and doesn't adjust - even when it's been made abundantly clear it's not working. I wasn't laying any blame at all, just pointing out how things went on some of the close losses. You're...

That's not what I am doing at all. I said, "It's a wash" because it is. The defense gives you five turnovers, you should win the game and not just give the ball back to the opponent all five times. And you're saying the defense merely needed to come up with one more turnover, or force just one...

And the D didn't really play all that great, giving up alot of yards. It was far from their best result. But By GOD I am old fashioned I guess. If we get five turnovers vs. giving up NONE I expect to frikkin WIN that one. Especially with the "Romo Friendly" offense Jerry built around one guy.

I respect what he's accomplished vs. where he came from and what tools he had to work with. That 50 million guaranteed contract, the coup of the Century. Gotta admire that.

Romo is truly a amazing story though. For where he's come from to what he's accomplished truly is remarkable. Gotta give him props.

Five turnovers and four forced punts. All we needed was one more forced punt or one more turnover, right? Meanwhile we expect a injury riddled and TIRED defense (Seven punts by Dallas and 3/11 on 3rd down) to just frikkin stop them this one more time. It's a wash. Gimme a FG off one of the...

Right, after the defense produced five turnovers and forced four punts.

I do believe garrett gets enamored with things he sees on film, calling the plays accordingly even when it's already been demonstrated they've either adjusted or aren't giving him the advantages, the matchups, he thought he was going to have. He is way too slow to junk the game plan and adjust...

I just did a little breakdown of that, in the marinelli thread. We collect five turnovers and get zero points off them. And lose by one.

Let's even look at stuff like the Detroit game. On first blush it looks like the defense just screwed the pooch. Not a stellar day at all by any measure. Until you realize the defense collected FIVE turnovers in that game and forced four punts, got a key sack, and held them to 3/11 on third...

I mean, read the article in the OP, the injury situation isn't mentioned at all. Instead we get THIS stupidity NO, it will be because the towering injury slaughter we saw last year didn't fucking happen in 2014!

And it doesn't matter a whit who it is, if not marinelli. Or even if it is him. Assuming the defense avoids the unprecedented and historic injury disaster it experienced last year.

It's total offense as calculated by many factors. List here. I assume you mean the historic bad D for that one year. You're awfully defensive about this offense in a thread that's about the defense, for some reason.

It means there is NO defensive scheme or defensive coach who can field a decent unit playing guys off the street, playing 20 DL guys who weren't on the roster week one, playing four LBs and four secondary guys who weren't on the roster week one. So that assuming this doesn't happen next year...

That 16th ranking is total offense and offense isn't the topic of the thread.

It's not hard to get. I am saying I will give NO credit to Marinelli (You know, the topic of this thread?) if the defense suffers even half the injuries it sustained last year and shows marked improvement.

Right, 16th ranked offense in the league. Hardly Herculean. It's middle of the road at best despite years of tailoring it to one player.

Totally beside the point I am making about this defense and its chances for better results next year, assuming the injury situation is only half as dire.
