The Zimmer Report - 49ers Bring The Pain

Be warned, it wasn't pretty for the Cowboys.

Wednesdays are the day for us to evaluate the defense in this space. We call it the “Zimmer Report.” Here we want to isolate the defense and try to look at the game purely from their perspective. What did they try to do against the threats from the opponent and how successful were they in carrying that out? We will also check in the tactical and strategic plot-lines of the game and get a feel for how well it worked out for that side of the ball. For those of you new here speak up if you don’t understand a concept and we will attempt to explain.

Here we go. Our objectives today will be:

• Evaluate the overall defensive effort vs 49ers

• The disappearance of takeaways

• The 3rd Down Problem

• Purdy wins with his feet and his arm

• The most depressing snap of the season

Let’s begin.
