Cowboys News: Real talk on Dak, McCarthy; defense ‘flushing’ 49ers beatdown

From @ToddBrock24f7: It’s time for some honest, hard discussions about the Cowboys’ QB and head coach. The D is moving past Week 5, with help coming at LB.

It’s important to not overreact to a brutal loss like the one suffered in Santa Clara last Sunday. But it’s also not smart to gloss over the lessons that loss may impart. There are suddenly difficult questions being asked about both Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy, with all of Cowboys Nation now having to truly wonder: just what are we doing here?

The defense, for its part, is moving on to the Chargers, but last week showed clearly that if Micah Parsons isn’t going to turn in a superhero performance every week, the rest of Dan Quinn’s unit needs to step up in a big way. Elsewhere, the ex-players-turned-TV-analyst crowd has now come for CeeDee Lamb (but Lamb has clapped back), the Cowboys look to be adding yet another first-round draft pick (to replace one of their own), and we’re taking an early look at the 53-man roster (knowing it will change before Monday).

All that, plus the turf-versus-grass war rages on, a longtime Cowboys star could be headed to the Big Apple, George Kittle’s custom shirt could end up costing him a pretty penny, and the Cowboys will make a wardrobe change when they take the field at SoFi. Here’s all the News and Notes.
