Are the Cowboys a better defense with Pacman Jones?
Matt Mosley threw up a quick stat breakdown on his bloc which says they aren't, read here.
And I do agree with these stats that the defense has played better pass defense recently.
But maybe some of that 'improved pass defense' is because the run defense was so poor teams like the Rams and Giants had no reason to pass.
So do I think the Cowboys are a better defense with Pacman on the field at some point?
Yes. He's a better CB than Anthony Henry so he's an upgrade if you ask me.
I am not a big 'stats are the end all, be all' guy when it comes to winning and losing football games,We've been crunching some numbers (ESPN Stats & Analysis) this morning, and here's what we found out: The Cowboys have performed much better on defense since Adam Jones was suspended. Please enjoy this colorful chart that drives the point home:
By the Numbers: The Cowboys and Adam Jones With Jones Without Jones Weeks 1-6 7-11 Pass yards allowed 226.2 150.7 Total yards allowed 300.3 283.5 Opponents' PPG 23.5 22 Completions >10 yds PG 8.5 6 INT 2 2
