Cowboys News: Mike McCarthy speaks on Dalton, playoff chase

A look into Mike McCarthy’s words on the QB situation, the COVID-19 protocols the team has been under and Trevon Diggs’ injury.

As the Cowboys emerge from the bye week, there isn’t much news circling around the team. Surely, the primary story is that unbelievably, the Dallas Cowboys are still in the hunt for the NFC East title. As sad as that is laughable, it’s the reality of the situation. The question is, what does a coaching staff do in that situation?

Mike McCarthy is charged with getting his team to play hard every week, regardless of the stakes and the possibility of making a dent in the playoff picture. No one outside the organization believes the Cowboys are capable of making noise even if they somehow won the division, but the coach has to get the best performances out of his players. The result may simply mean more, better information on who is able to help them moving forward, but that’s still important, tangible intelligence that must be gleaned.

The dichotomy of being 2-7 bad and still having a shot came through in McCarthy’s presser on Monday. After a handful of links, we’ll turn our attention to McCarthy’s quotes.

 

Jerry Jones: Andy Dalton will be Cowboys’ starting QB when healthy

The Dallas Cowboys will not be tanking in 2020; Andy Dalton is poised to return to starting lineup once healthy, according the team owner.

There will be no tanking for the Dallas Cowboys. No full-on tank, no soft tank, no water heater tank. The only tank for this team is DeMarcus Lawrence. It’s clear that the Cowboys will be trying to win games the rest of the 2020 season, so all of those pining for losses the rest of the way will be sorely disappointed. After all, even bad teams stumble upon wins accidentally, throwing their top-5 draft pick in flux.

Still, some things don’t change, and a team as undermanned as Dallas is equipped to lose even while trying their best. But make no mistake, this team will be putting their best foot forward in attempt to…well, it’s unclear what the goal of this campaign is at this point. Just know that Andy Dalton will return to the lineup as soon as he’s able, according to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Front offices are the ones, not players and coaches whose jobs are constantly on the line, who sometimes punt away seasons. Still, the Dallas front office isn’t interested in outwardly quitting on a season to earn the kind of draft slot that can bring an influx of picks via trade. If they were, Ben DiNucci would have played quarterback against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with everyone gleefully watching him throw games away while saying things like “he’s learning on the job.”

The timetable on Dalton’s return is still unknown, but with the team currently on their bye week, it’s likely he’ll be back to take on the Minnesota Vikings on November 22.

Cowboys’ McCarthy won’t join ranks of one-and-done coaches

The NFL is no stranger to quick hooks among the coaching ranks, but Stephen Jones confirms that Mike McCarthy will return in 2021,

The 2020 season has gone badly enough that the question had to be asked on Monday: will first-year head coach Mike McCarthy survive the proverbial bloodbath to return next year? The answer from Stephen Jones was an unequivocal yes, but that got the wheels turning. Just how bad do things have to go for a coach to last a year or less?

Not as bad as some might think. There is a rich history of trigger-happy owners showing their new charges the door in a hurry. Peruse the handy list below to take a look at some of the quickest hooks the league has ever seen. Note: for those wondering, Bill Belichick’s day-long employment with the New York Jets is not included; he never actually coached a game.

Year Team Coach Record
2019 CLE Freddie Kitchens 6-10
2019 ARI Steve Wilks 3-13
2013 CLE Rob Chudzinski 4-12
2011 OAK Hue Jackson 8-8
2009 SEA Jim Mora 5-11
2007 MIA Cam Cameron 1-15
2007 ATL Bobby Petrino 3-10
2006 OAK Art Shell 2-14
2001 WAS Marty Schottenheimer 8-8
2000 NYJ Al Groh 9-7
1999 GB Ray Rhodes 8-8
1994 NYJ Pete Carroll 6-10
1993 WAS Richie Petitbon 4-12
1984 MIN Les Steckel 3-13
1978 SF Pete McCulley 1-8
1977 LAR George Allen 0-2*
1976 NYJ Lou Holtz 3-10

Poor Al Groh got shown the door after a winning record! A nine-win season would require the Cowboys to run off a seven-game win streak, a statistical improbability that would dash the dreams of all draft fans. Three different men finished a respectable .500 before getting the axe. The majority of the coaches, though, really put in the kind of work that rightfully earned them a ticket to the unemployment line. This much is clear, however: working for the Jets, Browns, or Raiders could be considered an occupational hazard.

Still, just two team owners, if they had any semblance of self-awareness, would look back and rue the day they moved on from their coaches so quickly. Pete Carroll would go on to build a mini-dynasty that’s still going with the Seattle Seahawks, winning one Super Bowl and appearing in another. And Marty Schottenheimer went on to a critically-acclaimed run with the San Diego Chargers, though he always fell short of the promised land.

This won’t be the case for McCarthy and the Joneses. Even though a three- or four-win season in 2020 seems as likely as any other outcome, and as badly as some fans already want to pivot in a new direction, it’s not happening. It’s hard to say that the newest coach in Dallas deserves as much criticism as he’s received, given the circumstances he’s faced.

At a minimum, McCarthy’s job security for next year was likely locked in the moment starting quarterback Dak Prescott was lost for the season. Even though a divorce is inevitable, as it always is in the league whose initials are said to stand for “Not For Long,” it won’t happen in Dallas this off-season.

Cowboys News: Jaylon escape hatch, Rush may start over DiNucci, Martin won’t move

Andy Dalton is now headed to the reserve/COVID-19 list, and Cooper Rush may start over Ben DiNucci according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Andy Dalton was already trying to get through concussion protocol after the brutal hit he suffered in Week 7. Now, the 10-year veteran finds himself on the reserve/COVID-19 and will miss the Dallas Cowboys‘ battle against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers in Arlington on Sunday. As fast as seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci got the starting job at quarterback it could jump ship to Cooper Rush in Week 9, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Even with the Cowboys struggles at the tackle position this season due to injury and suspect play, All-Pro guard Zack Martin will remain on the interior, although he shined when he slid outside in Week 3 vs the Seattle Seahawks. Jerry Jones said on Tuesday that the Cowboys making a trade before the deadline wasn’t likely, and that was proven true as the organization didn’t make any significant moves.

The Cowboys gifting $1 million to Texas High School Football, whether or not the offensive line can find some continuity, and how tanking could be the best way for the Cowboys to go, and more is in this edition of the news and notes.

Zack Martin to remain at guard despite Cowboys’ struggles at tackle

Despite the Cowboys struggles on the offensive line, especially at the tackle position, Mike McCarthy says Zack Martin will remain at guard.

It’s no secret the Dallas Cowboys offensive line has struggled mightily this season. Season-ending injuries to Tyron Smith and La’el Collins, combined with multiple undrafted rookies getting significant playing time, has caused turmoil amongst the unit and forced whoever is under center to run for their lives on a weekly basis.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that despite the struggles of Terence Steele at right tackle that moving All-Pro guard Zack Martin outside would disrupt “continuity” on the offensive line.

Head coach Mike McCarthy echoed those thoughts during his press conference on Monday.

“I think it’s fantasy football nonsense unless you have 10 veteran offensive linemen on your football team that you can interchange like that,” McCarthy said. “When you’re dealing with young players, different combinations, you don’t have an offseason, you don’t have OTAs, you don’t have a real training camp — to think you’re just going to pop people in and out of positions — I definitely don’t think that’s the right way to go. I’ve talked repeatedly about our offensive line, the importance for these guys to play together day-in and day-out. You’re always working different combinations.

“There are combinations that we work every week that Zack could potentially go outside. But you only have so many reps that you’re able to accomplish in a day. And let’s face it, the offensive lines that play the best line up and play the same position next to each other over and over and over again. So I think that’s the most important variable in having a successful offensive line.”

Martin showed his versatility when he slid outside and played right tackle after Steele left the Cowboys 38-31 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3 with an injury. Regardless if he’s moved again or not, the Cowboys need to figure out a combination on their offensive line to prevent any more casualties at the quarterback position.

‘Moving in the right direction’: McCarthy, Cowboys spin latest loss as progress

After a 14-point loss to the rival Eagles, Dallas coaches and players looked for the silver linings that- they hope- indicate improvement.

It’s profoundly telling that after a two-touchdown loss to a division rival who had won only two games, the Dallas Cowboys coaches and players spoke unanimously about the exponential progress shown in Sunday night’s 23-9 loss.

“Moving in the right direction,” coach Mike McCarthy said in his postgame press conference.

“I feel like we took another step tonight,” defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence told reporters before leaving Philadelphia.

“It was a step in the right direction, but not good enough,” running back Ezekiel Elliott explained.

“I think we made some really good strides,” said linebacker Leighton Vander Esch.

About the only thing missing was orange wedges handed out to everyone afterward.

It’s clear that the tone in the Cowboys locker room has changed dramatically over the past two months. The electrifying potential of Team FortyBurger rode out on the cart with Dak Prescott. In its place is an offense whose only touchdown in the past thirteen quarters came in garbage time of Week 6 and has now been held to single digits two weeks in a row. A defense loaded with promising personnel and a new-and-improved scheme was quickly exposed as a leaky sieve. They’ve allowed the most points in the league, three players have already been sent packing, and there are questions about whether some of the coaches should follow.

Indeed, expectations in Dallas have been recalibrated. Chatter before the season about Super Bowl odds and scoring records have turned into praise and congratulations for the moral victory of winning the turnover battle for one game.

“A lot of improvement, in a number of areas,” McCarthy said afterward.

“Clearly, our defense took a huge step. It looked like our gap integrity- our run defense- was the best that we’ve had all year. And not only the four takeaways, but we were all over the ball a number of times. I thought we definitely took a step on defense.”

For Vander Esch, the takeaways- two interceptions by Trevon Diggs and a pair of fumble recoveries- were of little solace as the team fell to 2-6.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with the amount of turnovers that you get; it’s the frustration of just losing,” the third-year veteran said. “Whether you lose by one point or you lose by 20 points, you have 100 turnovers or you have no turnovers, losing sucks. Just a simple answer. Being a competitor, you don’t like to lose. And I don’t like losing.”

But for a team that has seen so much go so wrong in half a season of play, the Cowboys are in a position where they must find the silver linings where they can.

Now, even the smallest thing- like the defense forcing more turnovers than the offense commits- can serve as an important building block for the second half of the 2020 campaign.

“Division game, we needed to win this one,” Elliott reflected. “We were right there. We were in a good position to go and get this game. We’ve got to find ways to win these tough games, and it’s not always going to be pretty. But we’ve got to find a way to pull it out.”

The Cowboys may still be- mathematically speaking- alive in the race for an NFC title, but this team isn’t ready to talk about wins. Not realistically. Heck, McCarthy is talking about just playing with pride.

“We’re running out of time. We understand that, as far as where we are in the season,” the coach offered to media members on the conference call. “I thought our defense played with tremendous pride. We knew we needed to stop the run, and I thought our guys hit the mark there. We needed takeaways. That’s the brand of football and the team identity we’re focused on playing: winning the turnover differential margin for the first time this year, and that was led by the defense. Defense pretty much held them to- what- 15 points? You keep the opponent to 15 or less, you should win the game.”

It’s a fair point. The defense wasn’t on the field for the Eagles’ fumble recovery that they returned for a touchdown to effectively ice the game. And the defense had nothing to do with snapping the ball out of the end zone for an intentional safety, a last-ditch gambit to try to regain possession via the ensuing free kick.

So when compared to the defense’s past several performances- six straight games of allowing 25 or more points- Sunday night did feel, to borrow the Cowboys’ new favorite phrase, a step in the right direction.

“Obviously, the game wasn’t perfect and we’ve still got to clean a couple things up,” Vander Esch maintained. “But as far as effort and play style, I think we’re getting on the right track. And I think it showed.”

“We’re doing a better job understanding our coaches, understanding each other, and playing together all as one,” Lawrence added. “We showcased that tonight, and I feel like we’re getting better each and every week.”

The defense senses improvement. The coaches see progress. The latest game wasn’t an embarrassing, hopeless rout. Perhaps that’s a start.

McCarthy, who famously took a year off just to prepare for this head coaching gig, seems to similarly be taking a long-view approach to building his new team.

“I think, like anything in life, the game of football will teach you humility in every form or fashion that you can imagine. To me, that’s just part of the course of this season, it’s part of our challenge. I clearly believe we’ll be better off in the future because of these hard times.”

Probably. It’s hard to imagine the Cowboys being much worse.

Mike McCarthy calls anonymous Cowboys comments ‘teachable moment’

Cowboys players called out the coaching staff on Tuesday. Mike McCarthy called those comments a “teachable moment” on Wednesday morning

Jane Slater of NFL Network reported on Tuesday that a few anonymous Dallas Cowboys players called the coaching staff totally unprepared and claimed that they weren’t good at their jobs. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he hadn’t heard any such discussions and would rather things be handled like men amongst his players.

McCarthy had a briefing Wednesday morning with the media and called the incident a “teachable moment” for his football team.

“The anonymous is something we don’t want to recognize,” McCarthy said, via USA Today’s Jori Epstein. “But it’s important to recognize anything and everything for a teachable moment.”

It’s been a struggle all season long for the Cowboys to consistently play well. They switched to a hybrid scheme with multiple three and four-man fronts under new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and it hasn’t worked as previously hoped. They rank 27th in yards allowed and dead last in rushing yards allowed per game (173.3) and points per game (36.3). They rank 19th in sacks per game (1.8) and of their 11 as a team, four have come from Aldon Smith, who he hasn’t recorded one since Week 3 vs the Seattle Seahawks.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Cowboys led the NFL averaging 464 yards per game. However, they also have had major turnover issues, recording nine in the last three games (1-2 over that span).

The Cowboys suffered a brutal 38-10 defeat on Monday to the Arizona Cardinals. They’ll have a chance to redeem themselves this Sunday when they visit the Washington Football Team who are currently on a five-game losing streak.

Internal Strife: Anonymous Cowboys blame lack of coaching ability

The Dallas Cowboys have sprung a metaphorical leak with players already throwing their coaches under the bus.

The great unravelling has begun. The 2020 Dallas Cowboys, a team that began the season with the highest hopes imaginable and a trendy off-season pick to contend for the NFC crown, has sprung a leak. Not the kind that opposing offenses constantly find on the field, but from within the confines of the Star in Frisco.

It’s going to be that kind of year. Just six games into a new regime and reports are beginning to surface that there’s players who are displeased with the coaching staff. NFL.com’s Jane Slater was the first to report the news.

It seems safe to assume that this is referring to the defensive side of the ball, though all the blame will land at the feet of head coach Mike McCarthy. After all, this is the hand picked staff that’s more than a year in the making. This is the group that he drew up while sequestered from the NFL, biding his time and getting the kind of PR treatment others dream of.

Mike Nolan has been an outright disaster. That’s been covered in this space before, so there’s no use beating a dead horse for the time being. And while there’s not a single positional group that’s playing well so far, nothing’s been worse than the team’s secondary. While Al Harris isn’t in charge, rumor has it that players are not a fan.

This isn’t the first team in history, nor will it be the last, to fall short of expectations and begin infighting. But it is concerning that it’s happening so early in McCarthy’s tenure. It seems ages ago that his introductory press conference took place, the Jones family smiling from ear to ear.

Is it too early to pull the plug on a defensive staff that had no offseason? No. No it isn’t. While it would be unheard of to move on from a defensive coordinator less than halfway through the season, keeping this group around beyond 2020 is risking a flat out mutiny.

In the end, Cowboys fans need to know, and likely already did, that this was what the season would turn into once Dak Prescott’s ankle turned to mush. It’s possible that these complaints would have come out after another poor showing on Monday night, regardless of the quarterback. But buckle up, this won’t be the last of the airing of grievances.

Dazed and confused? ‘probably our best’ week of prep, says McCarthy

In a tense press conference that put the head coach’s frustrations on clear display, it was the quote that will stick in the craw of Cowboys fans over the course of the next short week.

Following a thoroughly embarrassing 38-10 home loss to the Cardinals in front of a national Monday Night Football audience, a game in which Dallas looked lifeless at best and historically inept for the rest of the time, Mike McCarthy’s perspective on how the team looked in workouts leading up to the Week 6 game will not sit well with a fanbase watching the season go down in flames.

“As I continue to learn this team,” McCarthy said early in his postgame remarks, “I felt like the preparation coming into the game was probably our best so far this year.”

There are numerous ways to assess a football team. The win-loss record is the most obvious; it’s ultimately the only thing that matters. But if the goal is to find the silver lining, the glimmer of hope, the truth behind the standings, there are countless other ways to crunch the numbers and judge a roster.

Gaudy offensive totals can show high-scoring potential in regard to the playmaking positions. Low points or yards allowed can indicate a stifling defense capable of beating anybody on a given day. Even a stat like close-game win percentage can try to factor in lucky bounces and bad breaks, showing a team that finds a way to win more often than not.

But nobody in sports talks about how well a team practices as a measure of anything meaningful.

To be fair, McCarthy followed his line about the squad’s preparation with an admission that it’s all a moot point come kickoff.

It came in McCarthy’s opening comments, the traditional big-picture recap of the game he offers before taking reporters’ questions. And his introductory remarks show a palpable frustration with the team’s turnover problem. The Cowboys gave away the ball four times, resulting in a slew of points for Arizona that Dallas was never able to come close to matching.

“Very disappointing home loss here this evening. Frankly, until we get off this turnover ratio- negative-12 for the year- we’re not playing well enough as a football team to overcome those critical errors. It happened again tonight. I thought the defense came out strong with the three stops there in the first quarter. The turnovers definitely changed the game. Clearly we didn’t handle the adversity of the four turnovers. We’re giving up, I think, 24 points off of turnovers tonight. We’re the worst in the league at taking care of the football. We’re not taking it away. And we’re giving up more points than anybody in the league off of turnovers. It’s frustrating to see the pattern here [in] five of the six games this year. We’ve got to continue to work at it. As I continue to learn this team, I felt like the preparation coming into the game was probably our best so far this year. But obviously, that doesn’t account for anything, particularly after a performance like tonight.”

In the full context of McCarthy’s recap, the preparation line speaks to his surprise that his players aren’t able to do something on Sundays (or Monday night) that they apparently do the other days of the week.

Many of the questions directed at the players after the game were about mindset, about the mental aspect of the game, about a here-we-go-again feeling of hopelessness that can wash over a team as mistakes start to pile up, as past errors repeat themselves, as additional players go down with injuries.

Ezekiel Elliott was asked about his fumbles. Andy Dalton spoke about the turnovers that he contributed to with a pair of interceptions.

The defense got the questions, too, after giving up over 37 points for the fifth week in a row.

“I feel like we’re good, mentally,” linebacker Leighton Vander Esch said in the wake of his first game back since Week 1. “We’ve just got to clean stuff up and play one snap at a time, one week at a time.”

“It’s mental. We have the physical. There’s no question about the physical,” Jaylon Smith added. “Collectively, as a whole, we have to lock in and do it right. Enough talking about it, we’ve got to do it right.”

And whether it’s the defense giving up yet another explosive play, the star running back putting the ball on the turf two plays in a row, or the last stud in the offensive line wall hobbling out of the tunnel before halftime, the 2020 Cowboys haven’t found the switch that lets them come together as a unit and work past those issues when they happen during a game.

“The mental and emotional game and growth of your football team, in my opinion, is always the last component to come and develop to the level that you need to be successful,” McCarthy said. “Obviously, ours isn’t quite where we want to be right now. But I can only go off of [the fact that] I work with these men every day, they give it up for us as coaches every single day. They’re doing the extra work that’s been asked of them. But we haven’t handled the adversity in games. It’s an unfortunate part of the game when players do get injured, but we had a chance to prepare for this team. You have to overcome adverse situations in the game.”

Cowboys HC McCarthy preaches resilience: ‘Our fight is our fight’

The Cowboys had to find their fight after Dak Prescott’s injury. That may be the theme of the season as they move forward with Andy Dalton.

Dak Prescott’s devastating injury took all of the air, the emotion, and the optimism out of AT&T Stadium on Sunday. It was up to coach Mike McCarthy to make sure it didn’t also take the fight out of the players left standing.

The Cowboys were down by one point to the rival Giants when the injury occurred. There were 21 minutes left to play. Dallas had gone into the Week 5 divisional matchup feeling like the game would be a make-or-break moment for the 2020 season. They had no idea how right they would end up being in that assessment, as the team now faces the 11 games left on their regular season schedule without their unquestionable leader.

“Really, the message was, ‘Our fight is our flight,'” coach Mike McCarthy said he told the team after the 37-34 last-second win. “If you look at the five games we’ve played, we’ve had some rough moments. Every game has come down to the end. The composure, the communication on the sidelines: I thought we were much better than we were this time last week. But we have a lot of work to do. There’s still some things we can sync up better, and I think it allows everybody to perform at a faster level. We got better, we improved today, and the most important thing is we won the game. But we’re going to have to make some adjustments moving forward.”

Obviously, the biggest adjustment will be at the quarterback position. With Prescott lost for the season, ten-year veteran Andy Dalton will presumably be commanding the Cowboys’ high-powered offense for the duration of the 2020 campaign.

Dalton made the most of his relief appearance Sunday, finishing off the possession Prescott had started with an Ezekiel Elliot rushing touchdown, and leading two three-point drives in the final nine minutes to get the win. The former TCU star coughed up the ball on one snap exchange, but he then went 7-for-8 on those last two possessions, including back-to-back deep throws to wideout Michael Gallup- one for 19 yards, and the next for 38 yards to set up the game-winning kick.

“Andy came in and made the key throw there at the end,” McCarthy told reporters in his postgame remarks. “I can’t say enough about the connection between him and Michael at the most important part of the game. That’s big-time football. You’ve got to make big plays in key moments to win games in this league. That’ll never change. Andy did a heck of a job.”

The injury to Prescott- who had been off to a blistering start to the season- had many wondering in the immediate aftermath if the club might pursue a younger, higher-profile passer to step in and take the reins in Dallas. But McCarthy downplayed that notion with a reminder that Dalton’s considerable experience is why the team chose to sign him as Prescott’s backup to begin with.

“We have great confidence in Andy,” McCarthy stated plainly. “We’ve all been working together since training camp. Andy’s got a lot of pelts on the wall. He’s been a great addition to the quarterback room; it’s a very healthy quarterback room. I’d expect Andy to keep our offense moving forward, and hopefully we can improve. The one thing we haven’t nipped in the bud yet is the turnovers. But yeah, we have great confidence in Andy.”

The rest of the team echoed that sentiment.

“He’s very calm and composed, like he’s been there before,” noted rookie receiver CeeDee Lamb. “Just having him as the next man up, there’s no better feeling. He has you feeling confident, he’s going in smiling on the last drive. It’s an energy-booster.”

Jaylon Smith may not be in the offensive huddle with Dalton, but the linebacker knows that the three-time Pro Bowler can lead the team; he’s seen him do it before. “Just [from] being a fan of football and seeing what Andy has already accomplished,” Smith explained. “Now he’s on a bigger stage to be able to do it. And he’s going to have everyone behind him.”

Running back Ezekiel Elliott maintains that the offensive gameplan likely won’t even have to be re-invented with the personnel change.

“I don’t think it’ll really change much,” Elliott said after Sunday’s win. “We probably won’t have any quarterback runs, but other than that, we probably won’t change much.”

That may be overstating things. It will no doubt be a different Cowboys offense game plan with “the Red Rifle” calling the shots under center, but McCarthy believes his backup is well-equipped to step into the starting role and build off the momentum from Sunday’s emotional win.

“Andy’s steady. There’s no doubt about it; you could see that from Day One. He’s very calm. He’s the same guy every day. That’s exactly how he practices. It was no surprise just to see him just pick up and keep going.”

Pick up and keep going may as well be the mantra for this Cowboys team, now faced with the prospect of moving forward in 2020 without their fallen field general.
