This exact thing was a hallmark of both Landry and Johnson's defensive philosophies. Stop touchdowns.

It's a perception I and many others share. That doesn't make it a fact.

NOTE: I've split this from the "Time to move on from Dez" thread. Mostly to remove all of this off-topic stuff, and partly to give these posts their own thread. I'm the dumbass who derailed the thread by bringing Romo up when I knew better than to do that. I don't know anyone who does. But it's...

You're saying Dak=Weeden? You have a screw loose. LOL We should compare a 4th round 2nd year guy to the very best days and seasons of a multi-year veteran? And without mentioning that same veteran had strings of games where he couldn't compete at a high level for whatever reason? ALL...

That's why "accuracy" is very relative.

Funny you should say that. Staubach: 57 percent completion rate, 7.7 yds per attempt. Aikman: 61.5 percent completion rate, 7.0 yds per attempt. 5 Lombardis between them though. The point I'm making is, "accuracy" is very relative.

God Dammit gimme Kenny the Snake and some fucking BOMB throwing! Oh wait... 59 percent completion percentage and 7.4 yds per attempt, lifetime for Stabler. Soooo... Gimme ROMO back! Oh wait.... we have that in Dak! Romo was 65 percent completion percentage and 7.9 yds per attempt, lifetime...

I'm more optimistic on the defense this season than I've been in years past. But not by a lot.

Jimmy had no answers for the run-and-shoot, and he details this in his book, which you should read. It's only a coincidence that he and Butch Davis figured out how to scheme against the run and shoot type offenses, in the same offseason that Haley was acquired. It wasn't Haley who made that...

Correct! And if memory serves, the only Cowboy left who played in Texas Stadium.

To this I would add that 2016 was more a result of the totally new offense, with the loss of Romo and the addition of Zeke. Opponents had NO book on the new QB, RB or offensive tendencies. I think most of us here have even said this, and don't mind hearing it again and again and it does bear...

I originally had it right. But, I let all those 8s and 9s confuzzle me!

From the article linked in the tweet: You just KNEW he was a fat lazy piece of shit. Another fucking lout we need to make an example of by CUTTING IMMEDIATELY.

Dagnabbit, I'm wrong again! Thanks for the sharp eye - I definitely looked at the wrong schedule, we open REGULAR season on 9/9 and preseason on 8/9. 08 DAYS 06 HRS 08 MINS 48 SECS From now. Still plenty of time for Scot to get his shit together and go to the game and SUPPORT JERRY!

No, it's not and my bad. I entered the wrong month in the countdown app. It's actually as of today, 39 days until preseason kickoff for Dallas @ San Fran. So, plenty of time to make your travel arrangements and get your tickets!

If you're talking 2000 yds total offense, I can almost see something in that neighborhood. But not 2000 yds rushing alone.

Post of the week candidate! LOL

I have a real problem with people putting Favre in the same category as Emmitt. Emmitt wasn't the all-time leader in fucking turnovers. Favre still is. I don't have any respect for Favre at all. Favre does NOT = Emmitt. Emmitt has no peer. Favre has tons of them.

Yeah these idiot sports writers think it's a video game and only see it that way. Hailing offensive performance and not knowing it means the defense sucks. In the good team's camps, the defense dominates early because it takes more practice for an offense to begin to gel. That our O is...

If Lance Lenior is embarrassing our secondary, we're in deep shit come real football.
