So the Cowboys:
- Pivoted from Maxx Crosby to Rashan Gary
- Missed out on Nakobe Dean (and other LBs) in free agency
- Traded one of their best defensive players for $4 mil in cap relief
Disappointing week.
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer: “I’m really proud of how physical our guys played. And I’ll use this example: Donovan Wilson. Man, I mean, what a stud. Splits his eye open, goes in, gets stitches. I think he misses a couple plays. I mean, so you can’t tell me our guys didn’t play hard. You can’t tell me our guys didn’t play physical. We did that. I’m proud of them for that. At the end of the day, I just didn’t think that we played very good complementary football. And some untimely penalties kind of limited our ability to do what we needed to do and limited opportunities for us offensively in the second half. And again, big swing in the game was the fourth down stop that they got down there in the red zone.”
“You can’t watch this film and say our guys didn’t play hard. They did play hard. We just didn’t execute very well, didn’t coach well enough to win.”
