Monday mornings always lack perspective. Out of all these talking heads only one alluded to the injuries on the Cowboys offensive line and that came only after he was asked if he was a QB would he want to come to Dallas. Perspective. Yesterday the entire Cowboys offensive line was made up of backups, except for Connor Williams, who is by far the worst offensive lineman of the starting 5. They have a 3rd string RT, a 3rd string RG starting. And considering Frederick retired unexpectedly at 29, their C is kind of a 3rd stringer too. I am not sure any team in the league could field their second string OL and win many games, regardless of who is at QB. The Eagles are getting excused because they have 2 or 3 offensive linemen out. But the Cowboys can't be excused because they have 4?
As for the reaction to the hit on Dalton. I watched the video about 2 dozen times. It's true, no one got in Bostic's face. The only person to react was Steele. He faced Bostic and raised his hands a little as if to say, "***, dude!". Amari Cooper was right there and did nothing. That is who Amari Cooper is and why I would not have given him the new contract. There is no fight in the guy at all. A few Cowboys players ran to Dalton to see if he was okay. But again, we are talking about a bunch of backup offensive linemen. Not sure what their state of mind was other than "I am getting my butt kicked today". I have no doubt is Zack Martin or La'el Collins were playing, they would have been in Bostic's face immediately.
I do think the lack of a reaction is a sign of something wrong with this team. I just would not overreact to it.
I am glad these talking heads are talking about how bad the Cowboys LBs are. The Cowboys keep trying to tell us they are doing a great job out there but it is so obvious to see they are not. I forget who said the are the worst disciplined LBs in the league, but that is such a great way to put it. And Demarcus Lawrence is one of the worst disciplined DEs in the league The fact is these guys on defense are not doing their jobs and many times it is the fundamentals they are not getting.
