Dak, as the QB of the offense, is in a different position. He is the leader and to make a statement like that might be taken the wrong way by some of the offensive players. Saying we need the "right" players, is admitting we currently have the wrong ones. Some players have to go. Dak has to keep the players that remain loyal to him.
Micah is right, of course. The Cowboys are basically Micah and the DBs on defense. The rest of the front 7 are a bunch of JAGs. Micah knows that if they get an impact DT who commands a double team, then he will get more single teams which he will beat most of the time. We fans have been saying for years the Cowboys DTs do not protect the LBs. Offensive lines blow the DTs of the line and then take out the LBs who are small and bad.
I am with Micah. Get the defense fixed and let's become the real Doomsday 2.0 defense.
