  1. Don't you think it would also be the other way around ? They know Quinn and Whitt Jr strategies, and if the Cowboys hire outside their organization to fill in their vacancies, the cards wil be reshuffled. Maybe because he told them he's been hired elswhere ?
  2. Conclusion In this article, we aimed to assess the accuracy of Bryant’s claim that “defense wins championships” in the league today. We did not find that defensive ranking was a better indicator of a playoff berth than offensive ranking, and in fact, we found that a higher fraction of the league's top 5 offenses has made the playoffs over the past 20 years than the league's top 5 defenses. Based on our data, we are unable to conclude that defense is significantly more valuable than offense when it comes to winning championships. We were unable to find a significant difference in the offensive and defensive ranking of Super Bowl champions through the past 20 seasons. Throughout the Patriots’ reign, we did not find that they had a significantly better offense or defense in the years of their 6 Super Bowl victories. Overall, we did not find convincing evidence that “defense wins championships” rings true in the NFL over the past 20 seasons. It is plausible that the NFL’s offensive explosion can be attributed to recent rule changes and improved offensive schemes. With stars like Tom Brady and Drew Brees obliterating passing records set mere seasons prior by Peyton Manning, and young wizards like Patrick Mahomes knocking at the door, this offensive explosion doesn’t appear to be losing traction.
  3. From the Pokes forum : "So I guess we will be going to get Ron Rivera now? Looks like we might be trading our DC for their ex HC." "We are done." "Oh great. Adjusting our record 5-12" "We need to sign Ron Rivera yesterday." "He may not have been the biggest problem but he was definitely not a solution when it came to playing against quality teams. His defense was a routine embarrassment in big games . Not true. He had a bad game againt Green Bay, but all of his other playoff games he was solid. The QB is the problem."
  4. Over the past three seasons, Quinn’s work in Dallas has been outstanding. Using the DVOA metric from FTN, here’s where the Cowboys finished in total defensive DVOA: 2021: 4th 2022: 4th 2023: 5th The DVOA metric is arguably the best tool available at measuring a defense’s effectiveness. Link
  5. Interesting stats but we must not forget the stregth of schedule. Caleb Williams Opponent Comps Atts PCT Yards TDs Ints Pass Rating '21 Baylor 9 18 50 142 0 2 94 '21 ISU 8 18 44.4 87 1 1 92.3 '21 Ok State 20 39 51.3 252 3 0 130.9 '22 Oregon State 16 36 44.4 180 1 0 95.6 '23 ND 23 37 62.2 199 1 3 100 Drake Maye Jayden Daniels putting up the best numbers against top-tier opponents
  6. Then I'm wondering on whom they are setting their sights on ? Since MD signed with the Seahawks, and Weaver got a second interview (6 hours if I didn't misread) I thought he was the top candidate. Well let's just wait and see until hyperventilating will blow up this message board. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2023/7/5/23780710/2023-nfl-dc-rankings-pff-bengals-lou-anarumo-best-defensive-coordinator I was also thinking about Chip Linsey.
  7. On top of that, if he's so good why is he still unsigned ? Edit : I would consider him if he could bring in Parsons "17 days later, Micah Parsons finally addresses Cowboys' "embarrassing" playoff loss"
  8. I doubt it, you can't get a leopard to change its stripes at 71 with his character. So far no one wants him, we will see soon enough.
  9. Ranking every Super Bowl champion team from 1-57 1. 1991 Washington (17-2, 53.9%) Here's the team that DVOA says is the greatest of all time. Washington led the NFL in points scored and was second in points allowed. It lost by a field goal to the Cowboys after an 11-0 start, then sat its starters in the second half of the final week and lost to the Eagles by two points. That was it for losses. For the 1991 season, Washington was second in offensive DVOA behind San Francisco, third on defense behind Philadelphia and New Orleans and first on special teams. But what's more impressive is where Washington ranks in DVOA out of 1,309 teams going all the way back to 1981. It's the only team to rank in the top 50 for all three phases. (Specifically, Washington is 50th in offense, 36th in defense and 19th in special teams.) Washington won games during the regular season by scores like 45-0 (Detroit), 34-0 (Phoenix) and 23-0 (Philadelphia). It beat the Falcons 56-17 and the Rams 27-6. Then came the playoffs. A rematch with the No. 8 Falcons ended with a score of 24-7. The Lions made it to the NFC championship despite ranking only 13th in DVOA, only to be pummeled by Washington, 41-10. Washington had a 37-10 lead over the No. 4 Bills with half of the fourth quarter left in Super Bowl XXVI, eventually winning the Lombardi Trophy 37-24 after two late Bills touchdowns sandwiched around a successful onside kick.
