He posted this so the Cowboys OL can feel better going into Sunday. We all know what's going to happen Primetime Sunday Night!
Which is why we were all pretty excited to have a real anchor like Ashawn in the middle... oh well.......eye test backs this up.
AD is incredible - but generally, if he doesn't make a splash play tackling the runner in the backfield, teams scheme against his penetration and it's one of the reasons we've struggled against the run
Oh, I am not say ng there isn't some truth to it... Just glad they posted this this week.......eye test backs this up.

Exactly.Oh, Aaron is average alright, especially since he has to bypass two, three or four blockers to get to the opponent with the rock. Would any other defender be as good as 'average' with that type of attention?
Eh, whatever. All those headlines saying Donald is the most dominant defender in the league is old news. ESPN needs headlines for their "new stat" so why not bring down the league's most recognizable defensive player? Every other run defense metric I've seen has him ranked as one of the league's best run defenders. And the "eye test" backs that up.
Donald's a freelancer. Embrace it. Rams will never have a DT as good as him again.
IMHO having the OL guy miss his block because 99 is up field is not struggling.. i would say more of a scheme..and that's on coaches......eye test backs this up.

These guys are great. They basically analyze BSPN's run defense data and shut it down at the end by not only saying that Donald's a star player who should be allowed to do what he does best because he's a star player, but that he'd be worse if he focused more on the run instead of disrupting passing plays.
