Calais Campbell should be a Priority as an Addition this Summer. He’d be great for Leadership purposes & someone for these DTs to look up to for guidance. Even at his age that man can still move some furniture around & make some noise 💥 That’d be a Great Signing in my opinion
The Cowboys need to accomplish two basic football 101 objectives, stop the run on defense and establish the run on offense. We all hope that the new coaching staff and players will make last year's weakness into this year's strength. Great insight, Foots.
I don't get the thinking a rookie is suppose to a be 5 year vet in his rookie season in the pros especially at dt. You get what you get, 2-3 you will get some production, 3-4 there's a leveling and more steady production, again this going against guards and center of more experience including all-pro caliber players...
@@555calex yep!!! 1000% correct. Its not fair to make the comparison to the Chiefs. Jones and their other DT make soooo many plays for those backers to be clean. They are just soo much better talent wise. Its hard to "bring the punch to them" when "they" are just bigger and stronger and can move you 5 yrds down field. Many coaches and coordinators are better than they are because of personnel.
The question is, who asked him to drop weight? They drafted him as a powerful gap filler, which was a need. Having him drop weight and be something that he is not confused him.
Zim has so many skins on his wall. The conferences he has coached in and teams he is familiar with in the NFC East, NFC North, NFC South, AFC North. As well as any coaches he fought against for so many years that could still be in these conferences or those who have moved to other conferences and teams. He comes with good baggage that can hopefully help this team on D and O!
What has driven me NUTS the last few seasons especially is that this Defense was great at applying pressure and taking the ball away. But those things masked the basics. Have a good, solid defensive line AND be able to stop the run. I know offenses pass more today. But running the football is still a fundamental aspect of the game. Devalue RBs all you want. But when you have a team like Dallas who can get pressure and has great secondary play, you MUST run the ball well. Us not being able to run the ball effectively caused some drives to stall. Not being able to stop the run kept the other team's offense on the field. These are BASIC things that EVERY NFL coach should know and address properly. To me, it seems like they're not even watching their own film. How can they NOT see these issues and if they did, why didn't they fix them?
Also lets not forget just how bad this defence was before Quinn came in. Soooo many fans are blasting Quinn but he has had them in the top 5 for what 3 years in a row, at least two of the last three. Its also hard to match personnel, when guys are injured.
His college tape showed he was a step slow off the snap. Zimmer scheme and good coaching can fix that. His leverage was good strength really good but a step slow off the snap. Mazi with his weight on, shoulder healthy and some good coaching will be perfect for Zimmer scheme. That first step quickness with everything he has to offer will be just fine.
He's actually getting is easy - read what Cleveland fans are saying about Ika - another 1 tech from that draft (3rd round pick) who got lots of pub pre-draft. He only got 100 or so snaps last year, and they are killing him.
Great film outlining the run game and what to look out for. Mazi will be fine he’s only going to get stronger and with an improved LB core the defence should be top 5
Bro Mazi will be good in Zimmer scheme because it emphasizes physicality at the line of scrimmage and he actually cares about stopping the run.. The only reason Dan Quinn went to Washington is because they already have two good run stuffers and he doesn’t have to teach them gap discipline
It was more of a 1 and a half gap scheme in Michigan's defence. Both McDonald and Minter have said this in coaching clinics. but, almost the same thing but, not really lol I dont disagree agree with your breakdown, which is one of the better ones I've seen here on TY. I think the two reps with Hankins and Mazi are just losses and they are getting beat. Yes I agree that they have to "sit and sink" to take on that double. The rep when San Fran is in the redzone Quinn matches personell. It looks like San Fran in 11 so Quinn matches. In my opinion Parson who is taking on that pull has to lay a "bang" and initiate contact rather than letting it come to him. It makes that hole much smaller. You right it looks like Trent gets away with a hold and so does 65. He pretty much bear hugs LVE. LVE lays the shoulder but gets wrapped by 65. Remember too that San Fran has a pretty good running game ans a couple of BIG bodies up front. To compare Dallas fronts personnel to KC is just not fair. Chris Jones is probably the best if not one of the best defensive players in the NFL and absolutely is at the DT spot. Their other DT is very underrated. Not a fair comparison.
If has not improved his reaction time of snapp of the ball , he is huge mistake. Foots, reaction time more important than speed to have success in N.F.L. as a DT. Incredible that scouts did not see how slow he was off the snapp of the center. That's why Center and OG got up on him so quickly and diminished his strenght. When the pads go on it will be easy to see if he has improved. If he continues to be slow of the ball forget about it. Get rid of whom ever suggested Nazzi was a 1st round Talent. Because film should have shown how slow he is if ball snap. Just a big body that should have being a 5/6 round choice. FROM A PE.TEACHER AND TRACK AND FIELD COACH.
Foots I love this breakdown, great as usual. I want Mazi to shit all the naysayers up. I'm definitely in his corner. I'm also hearing whispers of possibly signing Linval Joseph. That would be a solid addition for the D Line. Keep up the great work Foots!!
Also, dude lost 30 lbs. how many people can do that and function. We need to get at whose decision was that. Another thing, we acting like the run defense was good with him OFF the field and Hankins on the field. It was mostly scheme. Mazi played good D at the highest level in college how all of a sudden you can’t play.
Dan Quiins entire defense was small ball with mostly safeties as LB. That works great when you get an early lead and can just rush the passer but you get run over against physical teams that you fall behind early to. That's what we saw most of last year, the cowboys looked awesome when the got early leads and rushed the passer, looked terrible when they could not get early leads against physical teams. Its was feast or famine week by week.
Getting off the ball fast is his #1 problem. With Mazi’s lack of height, he’s naturally lower than other players. So do you think we’ll be more powerful this year on D this year? Same question for the Offense?
@@brucedavis3816 I would not expect Mazi to be a HOF player or anything but he could well end up being a very good NT and run stopper as he get more experience. Those interior line in particular can get better with each year. Time will tell, if he is a driven persons he will likely get much better in the future.

The cowboys issue is not the defense or offense ,coaches or personnel. The problem is ownership having too much control of everything. Putting marketing and profit over talent on field is a recipe for disaster. We the fans keep drinking that damn kool aid.
You might as well pick another team to follow then because that is not going to change and the Cowboys are not going to have new owners in our lifetimes. The cowboys do draft well and develop players, there is just an ingredient missing in the mix still. The current ownership has 3 SB rings, so we know it can be done.
@@Orange6921 the ingredients you talking bout is a Jimmy Johnson mentality driven team 30 years ago. They been cooking unseasoned chicken , and we keep eating it.

The cowboys have had a lot of good teams the last 10 years, just not THE BEST team. The Jones have run this team well the last decade, the just have not been able to get to the apex.
Mazzy Smith, I’ve had shoulder reconstruction. Shoulders are the toughest injuries to come back nobody’s talking about that severe was this shoulder injury issue?
I'm surprised Noone mentioned the amount of design holding plays the offense of the 49ers committed and got no calls on them almost every play they grabbed LVE and just threw his ass down I didn't know I linemen could do that I saw kitties do it to he just grabbed lve and pulled him down I wonder did Buffalo and Arizona do the same, 🤔

College is different than the NFL DAMN GIVE THE YOUNG MAN A DAMN CHANCE .
In order to bounce back,he had to have something before but he nvr had anything..
Another great breakdown Foots.
Thank you fam
Mazi only has played one season. Defensive tackles take three to four seasons to figure it out. Give the man time.
He's actually getting is easy - read what Cleveland fans are saying about Ika - another 1 tech from that draft (3rd round pick) who got lots of pub pre-draft. He only got 100 or so snaps last year, and they are killing him.

" Foots I understand what you saying, but that should have been too holding calls on that play!! Dan Quinn got out coach & out scheme.
You right foots .He more work .I think he get better Good show foots you always give a good one 🎉DCFL🍒🍉💙💯
Mazi cement, feet Smith 😂 is not that guy he’s another Quentin Bohanan 🤣
Bro Mazi will be good in Zimmer scheme because it emphasizes physicality at the line of scrimmage and he actually cares about stopping the run.. The only reason Dan Quinn went to Washington is because they already have two good run stuffers and he doesn’t have to teach them gap discipline
An obvious holding call is missed on Trent Williams.
Go get Campbell! Joseph would be ok but I guess Jerrah just wants his draft to pan out.

Yea I agree to slow off the ball but has everyrhing else!!!!
Its always a mistake to judge DL after one a year or so. They often get better as they get more experience and more adjusted to NFL play.

@@Orange6921 the season banks on him!!! He has to eat up as many blockers as possible to keep the undersized linebackers clean!!!
Mazi will shine this year. Then next year we can go WR/RB/DT first three picks. I think 2025 will be a better year for us than 2024
We have to pay people I’m not looking forward to that lol

Why does Dan Quinn get the blame for all the defensive woes? He built this defence with Parsons, Diggs , and Bland making all pro
It was a feast or famine defense. It was an elite pass rushing defense when playing with the lead but very small and vulnerable to physical offenses.
Bcuz he sold us out in GB GAME to get a HC POSITION. !! he dealt with the devil 😈
@@Luisortiz-og4ik What an incredibly delusional comment.
@@Luisortiz-og4ikThat's ridiculous. How is a poor defensive performance by the Cowboys going to help Quinn get a head coaching job?

Bounce back from what?
Nah he's a bust and the run defense is going to be atrocious
Facts
MAZI PAD is a BUST
I want a QB next year.
Mazi can’t bounce back
He will be great at his position clogging whole ALL PRO
