The Dallas Cowboys Must Finish The Fight

http://thelandryhat.com/2016/12/24/dallas-cowboys-finish-fight/



Questions loom for the Dallas Cowboys as to how to treat the final two regular season games. How should the coaching staff approach the remaining games?
Finish the fight. That is a mantra that Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is adamant about instilling within his coaches and players.

Be resilient to adversity and fight your way through it.

Scratch, claw, fight. Don’t let up, finish the fight and close the game out.

Why win by decision when you can win by knockout?

In fact, I still have a Cowboys t-shirt that says “#FinishTheFight” across the chest.

Despite already having clinched the NFC East and home field advantage throughout the playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys have games against the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles remaining on the schedule.

There are a lot of differing opinions as to how the Cowboys should treat these final two games before getting a first round bye and hosting a divisional round playoff game either January 14th or 15th.

Many fans would like to see Tony Romo start at quarterback against the Lions and Eagles. It eliminates the risk of rookie sensation Dak Prescott being injured, which is a good idea. It also gives the Cowboys front office the opportunity to showcase Romo’s health and present-day ability; which would naturally increase interest in other teams to trade for Tony.

There is a flip side to that coin. There are risks associated with sitting Prescott for the rest of the regular season. Dak could come back a bit rusty after having three consecutive weeks off. Also, Romo could play exceptionally well which bodes well for his trade value yet also stirs the quarterback controversy pot up yet again.

There are fans out there that would like to see every impact player rested until the playoffs. This opinion does make sense, why risk injury playing in games that don’t improve or hinder your position in playoff seeding?

To put it simply for the Cowboys fans that have either one or a combination of both of the aforementioned beliefs, these options aren’t even being considered by this coaching staff.

Jason Garrett is full steam ahead. Focused on the task at hand. On Friday, the task at hand was preparing in the mindset of today being Thursday. This is the message he is delivering to his players and staff...
