That's just not true. They had an extra guy on the right side underneath the whole time.

Well then if they're covered you don't throw it ................... or is that not part of the "progression" wise guy.

Allen turns and throws the pick. Everyone on the other side is getting soft coverage including Coleman. I hear guys aren't open all the time but frequently what I see is bad decisions and holding the ball when there are guys open for other guys who never get open. This certainly didn't need to be a pick.

You turn the ball over enough it leads to scores. We've already given the Steelers two extra drives. It's just a matter of time.

Remember when they could tackle? ................ neither do I.

Can we play a game without turning the ball over multiple times? Been a while.

FFFuuuUUUUuuudDDge

Just keep taking the profit Josh.

We're not losing and that's something.

Bosa with one hand is still our best DE and it's not close. edit Best pass rusher.

It hit him in the hands so I get it when people say Shakir should have caught that be he was definitely being tackled as the ball hit his hands.

Defense has played as well as you could hope for so far. Offense needs to be better.

Looke at the losses and the thing that stands out by a mile is the turnovers. Offense isn't working throw it into the dirt and punt. Only good drives end in kicks not picks.

I'll put on the flame suit for this but I believe it's true. For all the complaints about Coleman both Brady and Allen have done him no favors. For every one pass Allen actually puts somewhere Coleman can catch it he throws 3 or 4 others that are either not catch-able or flat line drives with no chance of going up and getting them. Certainly no excuse for not playing your hardest. I still think if Brady actually incorporated Coleman to get the ball in his hands his best attribute is running after the catch. The most impressive thing he did at the combine was running sideline to sideline catching everything thrown at him and we have him running go routes all game like he's a track star. Coleman should be running slants and deep ins with some plays schemed up to just get it to him short and let him break tackles. I'm not sure how good of a WR Coleman could be but I have no doubt it's more than what we've seen here. Hopefully there's better days ahead.

I thought the Cowboys defense had been playing better the last couple of games ..............

Minus the fact that he's on IR I'd love to see Hoecht out there in that role. Didn't look it up but post suspension I think he made it two games before tearing something.

I think it was one. Jones got one late in the game. Bosa almost got there a couple times and Groot almost got there. Part of the problem is what ever combination they're using at DT is getting moved out so bad that Baker was stepping up and escaping pretty easily. I think they kept using Solomon up the middle on longer yardage pass plays and it was failing.

AJ got completely rooted on a big run to his side. Bosa might make a mistake as to where the run is going but he seldom gets washed out of the play. I'm not saying Bosa is great against the run but he's hit or miss. If he gets it right he can blow a run up. I also think AJ might have been on a snap count just coming back from the protocol.

Hoecht was great as a hybrid DT pasher. Solomon should not be coming up the middle. Stunt or no stunt he's an edge guy. Once an O lineman gets their hands on him he's neutralized.

I like all of this. I'm not sure Hancock is ready but I'm not saying he isn't either. The only problem is that even with these moves there's nothing stopping teams from creasing our Dline and ripping off big runs. They paid for Larry they used a fairly early pick on Sanders so they're going to be out there but I'm not sure Logue might not help us out more than either of them. I'm not happy about saying that.

If we got healthy I feel like this defense might actually be able to play some pass defense and then if we got a negative play here or there and puts teams in longer yardage on 3rd down we might get off the field. I'm not sure a McDermott/Beane defense is ever going to be great against the run. The combination of all 3tech DT's and small LB's is ripe for getting moved by any decent running team. We play defense like the Manning era Colts. Try to get a lead and force them to throw and make mistakes.

woof Just noticed Darnold with a day.

As much as people rant about WR's the thing missing from our game (that was there last year) was hitting RB's for big passes. If anything came back and made a big difference it was getting the RB's involved in the passing game. Not only is it a great mismatch for us but should also help the other pass catchers see more single coverage or soft zones.

I'm not a Coleman fan so don't take this as such but Allen missed him on two deep tosses last week. We hit the RB's for some big shots. Not sure the WR's did anything that out of the ordinary or special compared to any other week.

I know how enamored Beane is with pass rushing DT's but how bad does our run defense have to be before they try putting a DT that can't be shoved around all day on our roster? I'm fine with having a roster littered with 3 techs you think can pass rush but there should be at least one guy who can plug up the middle of the field.
