Look at it this way. You have two cars in your family of husband and wife. Wife's car is a 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe with a V-6. Husband's car is a 2001 Chevy pickup with 300,000 miles on it, radio doesn't work, heater doesn't work, leaks oil and gets 8 mpg on gas.
So what do you do - trade in the Tahoe for a 2021 model with a V-8 and keep the 2001 pickup?
Or keep the Tahoe and get a 2011 pickup that doesn't have tons of issues? Me? I'm getting a newer truck.
The V-6 Tahoe will get you there in fine style, the V-8 just a bit faster. Whereas the pickup may not even get you to the end of your block. And if you need to haul dirt or your 4-wheeler, the Tahoe's fine style won't get the job done. You need a truck for that.
In the Cowboys' case the offense is the Tahoe and the defense is the pickup.
Now that's my reasoning. Is it right? Don't really care, it's mine....
