The Dallas Cowboys need a new defensive coordinator
By Tyler Harris
The Dallas Cowboys don’t have a good enough defense to win anything, and it starts with their defensive coordinator and his inability.
Rod Marinelli is not a good enough coordinator in the NFL. He needs replaced if the Dallas Cowboys want to win a championship.
The offense scored 30 points against the Los Angeles Rams. It wasn’t enough as they fell 35-30. Yet again the NFL officiating was questionable and it cost Dallas dearly.
With all that being said, the coaching staff just wasn’t good enough. Jason Garrett should be on the hot seat if this season goes bad. Not only that, he should get a new defensive coordinator if he wants to keep his job.
The Cowboys were out-matched against a team that was down double digits in the first half. Double digits!
Rod Marinelli will likely use some lame excuse that he was without Sean Lee. So what?! Figure it out! I have not seen a coach that refuses to play to his player’s strengths like this man. He refuses to put them in a good position.
Ten yard cushions are common in Dallas. Lack of blitzes too. Point blank, they are playing a defensive scheme that is older than the coach himself.
A few miscues will be heavily critiqued by the Dallas’ offense this week. I personally believe this is much more on the defense and the proof is in the film.
The defense had a chance at several interceptions but were unable to come down with the ball and when the team needed a crucial stop the most the defense folded like a lawn chair.
Next: Did the Cowboys really just lose to the Rams, 35-30?
For a team that had high Super Bowl hopes, their defense has decided to be an anchor and sink those hopes faster than the Titanic.
