For all the difficulties the Cowboys faced, was the final result really that far off from where people should’ve expected it to be?
“Let’s also look at what happened. At the end of the day, they weren’t good enough to beat a bad Giants team when it all came down to it..
If you look at it from the point of view of a brand new coaching staff coming in, installing their system. You’re going to have struggles early in the year and you hope to get better towards the tail end of the season, the [Dallas] Cowboys did that.. The Cowboys basically did what they should have done based on all of the injuries that they had. It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t anything to write home about… but in the grand scheme of how you’d envision the season to go when you lose your star franchise QB after week 5, you lose your Pro Bowl RT before the season starts, you only have two games of your left tackle, your right guard who is All Pro, first ballot Hall of Famer probably the best offensive lineman in the league only plays half the season.. you can kind of understand how this team is a 6-10, 7-9 team regardless of what your expectations were.
So I think that while this was a miserable existence, there are many reasons to believe that the Cowboys are a true bounce back candidate… You can see how you can spin this that it wasn’t as bad as it feels right now.”
In the final episode of the season, we talk the overview of the season, the Dak Prescott negotiations, which other free agents the Cowboys will look to bring back and a preview of the options in front of the team for the 2021 NFL draft.
