Don’t Run Away From This Issue, Spagnola

Yes, they have once again let a single game define the whole season. It doesn’t matter what they accomplished in the first eighteen weeks of a season, their record, their victories, or the fact that they won two NFC East crowns in three years and finished second the other.

Everything is awful. Everything. Despite having the most touchdown passes in the NFL with 36, quarterbacks are no longer the solution. Although wide receiver produces unprecedented franchise stats, they currently require further wide receiver support. Who remembers any of that? A cornerback sets an NFL record for touchdown returns. After recording a career-high 14 sacks, a pass rusher has become problematic for the third straight season with at least 13.

The team overcomes devastating injuries, losing players like Tyron Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, and Trevon Diggs. Later, Stephon Gilmore tries to play hurt, missing the first part of the season without Jourdan Lewis, and losing rookie linebacker DeMarvion Overshown—a third-round pick for whom there were high expectations—to injury. Ten Pro Bowlers and four first-team All-Pros, as I mentioned before.

But my goodness, after that ignominious 48-32 loss to the Packers in that first-round playoff game, when they had a home trip to the NFC title game, their grievances have reached a boiling point.

After the Cowboys win 12 games for the third straight season, no one says they have a culture problem; yet, “culture” has become a catchphrase. When the Cowboys trounced the Eagles 33–13, the second time around, they put them to the woodshed and nobody said a word about culture.

The previous year, after forcing Tom Brady into retirement with a 31-14 rout of Tampa Bay in the first round of the playoffs, they did the unimaginable and lost 19–12 on the road to San Francisco, who was arguably the best team in the NFC if they had a backup quarterback available for the conference championship game. The team that went on a seven-game winning streak was unfit to be thrown into the deep end.

Additionally in 2021. Losing a 23-17 home playoff game to San Francisco is a disgrace, and all this does is add to the 28 years of history that this current squad is not responsible for. particularly now that there aren’t any games left to mention. There are still two weeks till free agency begins. The NFL Draft is in less than two months.

It seems like warts are making headlines these days.

Thus, since the Cowboys arrived to the NFL Combine this week, Stephen and Jerry Jones have been asked more questions about culture than actual football. Jerry Jones even had to ask, in a rhetorical manner, “What is culture? What does culture mean to you?

Jerry then got down to business, delving far below the surface level explanations for the Cowboys’ 2023 season-long struggles against superior opposition.

Jerry held court for about an hour in Indianapolis. “When we look at our team, we need to stop the run better and we need to be able to run the ball better,” he added. “If that’s culture, then we’ve got a problem.”

And that got me to thinking about one of the real football issues the Cowboys have this offseason. the capacity to regularly run the football. In a practical way. simply failed to accomplish it. The Cowboys failed to run for more than 97 yards in four of their five losses during the regular season. Dak had to rush for 45 yards in order to surpass 100 yards in the playoff game against Green Bay.
