The Dallas Cowboys never stood a chance against the Green Bay Packers. We obviously didn’t know this ahead of time, but all of Dan Quinn’s former disciples did. Matt LaFleur deployed heavy personnel over and over and over again to push Quinn’s defenders around due to not having the size to hang. Safeties playing linebacker are always going to be in for a long day when tight ends are getting out to them in space.
Defending the run has been an issue for the Cowboys for several years now and one that the drafting of defensive tackle Mazi Smith was supposed to help resolve.
