I hate Cowherd and he hates the Cowboys.

I don’t even watch him just like I don’t watch Stephen A or Skip.

They are all three just vultures who need to be sending Jerry a check every week as gratitude for them even having a “career”.

His take....

The Cowboys have "the Mike Tyson quality". Nobody knocked out bad fighters more quickly. Not Ali. Not Frazier. Not Lewis. Nobody. But you couldn't judge Tyson's career just on that. When he fought better, more experienced fighters he struggled. The Cowboys are going to roll most of these teams with their defense but there are six games he cares about.

@ 49ers
@ Chargers
@ Eagles
vs Eagles
@ Bills
@ Dolphins

Judge the Cowboys on these games. Those are talented boxers who can punch back. What's going to happen when they don't jump out to a lead? When they have to play from behind? When the opposing QB can escape pressure and make plays? They did this last year putting 40 and 50 points on teams but losing to Brady, Lawrence, Hurts, Rodgers and only beat Burrow but he wasn't fully healthy yet.

Let's be honest, the goal posts will move for a win over the Chargers, Bills and Dolphins.

The Chargers are 0-2. So a win over them will be charted as a win over a team that isn't good.

The Bills will be afforded latitude until they play Dallas. Then, they will be judged by the Jets loss and if they lose to the Dolphins or Eagles (not sure if they'll play them before Dallas). Either way, won't matter if Dallas beats them or not. Did anyone give them credit for beating the Bengals last season? With a backup at QB? No.

If Dallas beats Miami, there will be plenty of analysis about how they have played earlier in the season.

It doesn't matter if the Cowboys go 17-0. National media will discredit it and say that it only matters if they make the NFC Championship game. Should they lose, it will be "same old Cowboys". Should they make the Super Bowl and lose, it will be, same old Cowboys. We all know that right?

The Cowboys can win the Super Bowl and the narrative will be, "they have all the talent in the world and should have won the last 5 Super Bowls. Can they repeat is all that matters?"

Prepared for moving goal posts folks. No matter how it plays out.

Has Cowherd ever been right about anything?

A common theme among talking-head haters thus far has been that this team is led by its defense. Like there's something wrong with that? That Dak's arm has only accounted for 14 of 70 points in two games...like rushing TDs are worth less than passes? Criticisms that make no sense.

Only beat Burrow when he wasn't fully healthy, WITH OUR BACKUP QB. smh

We demolished Brady in the playoffs but that one must not count.

Cowturd makes a point, but this other stuff is nonsense. Yes you have to beat the big dogs to be a big dog.

No wider respect for the Cowboys until they beat SF. Understandable.

I hear what CZ members are crying about but in this case, Cowherd makes a valid point. When it comes to playing the Cowboys D, having patience is the key. You have to find ways to make the Cowboys D aggression work against them. I still remember the way Trevor Lawrence just hung in there and helped guide his team to victory over the Cowboys last season. I also remember how the Eagles patiently stuck with running the ball in the 1st Eagles/Cowboys game last season and how it paid off dividends.
Maybe the Cowboys have learned their lesson and understand the importance of finishing strong. We'll see here in a few weeks against the 49ers!

LOL, did Cowherd ever watch a Mike Tyson fight?

If an opponent lasted longer it was because Tyson was a lion playing with his food, some baby antelope, that he would eventually pounce on and consume. For about a five year period, he was the most dominating boxer in history, no disrespect to Ali.

even the better teams may struggle against this defense, especially in the early games.
My plan would be to be patient, dont make mistakes early, and let them tire out , then turn it on.

Early they will eat the other team up.
SF won last year by getting the late td, and keeping our offense from scoring much.

The defense is what is going to win games.

I rarely watch Cowherd and view him as a football baby food dispenser. He's not a deep thinker about the game, and he knows his audience isn't either.

But give the guy his due. His general thesis was colorful, well-presented, and has some measure of truth to it.

The biggest test for the defense--by far--will be the Dolphins. Tua gets the ball out scary fast and they have two insanely fast receivers. Of course by week 16...Tua or one of his receivers could easily be out w/injury.

Outside of Ali, most people rank Tyson as the second greatest heavyweight of all time. Even Ali struggled with great fighters. I’m not sure where Cowherd is going with this analogy.

Some of you are upset because Cowherd compared our defense to Tyson?

No.He.Doesn't. I don't get the impression he has any strong feelings for--or against-- any teams.

Guy just loves ratings. The NBC, Fox, ESPN (etc) folks are just peddlers and manipulators. You expect something real and insightful?

If you want football insight listen/watch PFF or the better independent YouTubers.

Cowherd has a physical combat mentality. Likely was champion of foam pugil stick battles at some state fair.

I actually think it’s a pretty good analogy that he made.
