Commanders v. Dallas Post Game Thread

I think we need a new thread(s) for 2034 offensive/defensive strategies. Although at the moment everything is post Dallas 😁

Thinking that far ahead?

The problem with 3-4 is there are not enough true nose tackles out there, where as DTs are easy to find. You better start appreciating position flexibility if 3-4 is the way of the future.

This 3-4 vs 4-3 talk is just nonsense when we play nickel like half the time anyways lol.

110%

Most of the league is in a base nickel

[BaltimoreSkins]

I think the argument is do we want 4 or 3 up front. Both are options in the nickel.

[AnonEmouse]

Yep, do we want 4-2 or 3-3? One would suggest we need virtually a whole new core of LB's to build a unit that can cover underneath. Or indeed a full core if Davis is beyond redemption.

I honestly feel that no one would be talking about LBs if the damn defensive line would live up to its hype and do their damn job.

Yes, we need better LBs, but it's not like every team has an all-pro at all LB positions. If we get a DC that can come and get more production out of the d-line, I feel like a lot of issues will get easier to resolve.

I also want a defensive coordinator that will come and fix these damn communication issues in the secondary, which have been a problem since the previous coaching regime.

[AnonEmouse]

Major problem we've had is the weakness with coverage by the LB's, and the DL has nothing to do with coverage. Davis is athletic enough, but can he learn to cover? Same goes for Hudson who was expected to improve this year (yeah, poor coaching may be behind his stagnation too). Beyond those 2, there's nobody I'd entertain keeping with better options in FA or the draft. So we likely need to bring in at least 2 quality replacements at LB.

But yeah, we need to find an edge too. Hopefully an equivalent or upgrade on Sweat, who, lets face it, wasn't bad.

Exactly. TE’s must get giant hard ons when they play us.

Tight end + hard on, what a combination...

This honestly looks like a mediocre college defense. Absolutely sickening that this is what Ron Rivera has constructed on defense in four years. He hired Jack and put this D together. My God he has no business any where near an NFL team.

💯

I can't help thinking Harris' coaching of the secondary last year hid JDR's ineptitude and gave RR a false sense of security, up to the point he left and THEN RR thought he had to draft DB's to make up for it, instead of retaining Harris (with a promotion) or replacing him with another quality coach.

This organisation has to learn the virtues of promoting talent from within. We've let so many talented young coaches leave instead of promoting them.

I like Toohill thinking he's anywhere nearly athletic enough to lose contain for the 0% chance he had of making that tackle if the RB actually did get it.
