But Darren Woodson had some harsh words to say about the 2020 Cowboys defense.

In a brutally honest critique, the Former Dallas Cowboys Safety Darren Woodson ripped the Cowboys defensive efforts:

The way they play, it makes the competitor in you cringe. It was my job to hit people. To punish quarterbacks. To have my teammate’s back.

Woodson went on to tell the CowboysSI.com:

But these guys … I don’t know. They’re helping up runners. Giving love taps on helmets. After the game, sure, it’s a brotherhood. But between the lines, where’s the animosity? We just don’t see anger in this defense’s veins. We see tackling like they’re playing flag football. That’s why all season they’ve been gashed.

Woodson was drafted in the second round of the 1992 NFL Draft. Facing Hall of Fame wide receivers like Jerry Rice, Andre Reed, and Cris Carter, his mentality is “old school” when it comes to being physical on the defensive side of the ball, and he doesn’t see that with the Cowboy’s defensive unit this season.
