True for the WFT part but I find it hard to believe the NFL part. There is no way NFL will not continue grow over time.

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1

How do you measure growth ? Tv ratings are down .. no fans in stadiums .. fans are finding out there are other things to do with your time.. I just Dvr games now and watch later ... is that really supporting the team .. I can watch game in easy under 2 hours .. look at nascar it fell off the earth .. NBA way down .. Nfl won’t fall like that however the Glory days are over in my opinion..

TV ratings of all the major sports are down but the NFL still blows them away. What's growth? Wait for the next TV deals and see how much revenue they will rake in.

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1

I don’t give a shit on our draft pick number. We’re not doing any better than the third pick.

BEAT DALLAS!!

Will we beat Dallas? Probably not.

Best news of the week:

@NickiJhabvala
Some great news: Ron Rivera's last day of cancer treatment is Monday (Oct. 26). He'll have to undergo further scans, but he said that "what I've been told is it's headed in the right direction."

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1

Does it seem backwards that our run defense is towards the bottom of the league in rushing yds/g and number 2 in passing yds/g?
It seems like based on our personnel and what I have seen with my own eyes it should be the opposite.

I hope we lose this game. We need an elite talent at qb. I'll take Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields over some meaningless win against the sorry ass Cowboys. But even as bad as they are we don't have the offensive fire power. We won't be able to keep up with them even if our defense plays a great game.

Based on the DVOA metric:

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/st...m-defense/2020

We're ranked 6th in pass d, and 17th in run d.

Based on Opponents yards per rush attempt we're ranked 16th:

https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...r-rush-attempt

I think we're probably about middle of the pack in run d instead of near the bottom.

Combining my impressions from watching the games with Cooley's film breakdowns, I'd guess it's the LBs and Safeties missing run gap fits and missing tackles.

Our DTs are not getting blown up, even on double teams, and our DEs have been holding the edge really well. That leaves the LBs and Safeties.

It just seems like there are way too many runs, between the tackles, going for 6+ yards, instead of getting stopped by a back 7 player at the LOS.

Maybe it's glass half full, but I think the rush defense will improve with Holcomb and Everett starting. (not saying either is the answer, just better than the alternatives)

Well said. Nice job here and agree. This defense will not take next step until we get that volume tackle at middle linebacker who also can drop 3 deep middle in coverage. It’s the key to this defense. Would be nice if we could get a free safety who can cover correctly and provide help. I hope we add a vet free safety this offseason

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1

I think they were hoping Rueben Foster would be a solution. Thumping LB is in our offseason list.

I think it has a lot to do with D spending so much time on the field... and some of Murray's and Jackon's runs...

Might find out later in the season. He's able to come off IR isn't he?

All reports from the beat guys was foster showed no athleticism before the season. We need to move on and get a quality guy there. Or play Holcomb there to see if he can grow into the role by end of year

Predicted score:

Washington - Meh

Dallas - Whatever

It's a game without a pulse.
