Another 24 hours removed from the bitter loss on Broad Street hasn’t tempered the frustration for Cowboys fans; it’s just given everyone more things to be frustrated about. Tuesday saw head coach Mike McCarthy get a little testy over continued questions about why Brandin Cooks is being overlooked in the pass game, on the same day the club brought aboard another veteran speedster at the position. There’s still confusion about the call that took a touchdown away from Luke Schoonmaker; Dean Blandino tries to explain the intricacies of the ruling. And Eagles fans are suddenly accusing a Cowboys defender of dirty play, saying he purposely broke tight end Dallas Goedert’s forearm on a sideline tackle.
Meanwhile, we look at Jake Ferguson’s impressive second-year rise, we explain why it may be now or never for Tony Pollard to take control of his turn as the Cowboys’ workhorse back, and we examine why Mazi Smith’s midyear rookie grade may be a little deceiving. All that, plus more analysis of the Week 9 stumble, Deion Sanders makes a surprising announcement about his son Shedeur’s future, and next week’s opponents are still mulling over their options at quarterback as their season goes into a tailspin. That and more, in this edition of News and Notes.
