No, a great defense holds the opponent to 6 points. A half-decent offense doesn’t give up the ball. As I say, you shop this defense to the league, I don’t think you’d find one coach who wouldn’t trade his D for this group.
A great defense does what it takes to win, even when the offense is having an off-night. It’s not about how many points you give up, it’s when you give them up. And we’ve seen many times where the Cowboys defense has folded in the fourth quarter of close games during the Wade Phillips era.
