There is no way to make sense of this season.
Covid with new coaching staff.
Extreme injury issues.
Some of the coaching staff did not even know each other prior to being hired. A new HC can only hire coaches that are available.
Garrett would have just had Zeke ram into the Washington DL all game long despite their DL being one of the best.
Turmoil this season is better than the Garrett MO of close losses and 8-8 or 9-7 seasons with no real chance of true playoff success.
Well..
As the saying goes..
"Be careful what you ask for."
I admit none of us expected what we were going to get.
But the reality is team clearly misses Dak. And before that it clearly missed Romo.
So the leadership factor is in place to recover quickly if Dak can recover from his injury.
So while we as fan are acting like lemmings looking for the nearest cliff to jump..
they have to resist following the twists and turns of its fans and the media critiques.
This has always been the case everytime we have to make changes.
If we end up with a high draft pick there is little doubt defense will get help. And lots of it.
And hopefully we stay away from FA this time. This year reminded us why we are better drafting than paying for upgrades.
So I am not concerned as much as some. Mickey is definitely in a pickle with his staff and he needs to determine whether it's the coaches or players that is the problem.
I do think the OL and DL coordinators could use younger coaches than what McCarthy has hired.
Those 2 areas are not in good shape but returning I jured starters and a good draft and another year of experience there should make things noticeably better.
Panic time..nah.
Over to you.
