Translation, more pressure on Dak [Prescott]. They can\u2019t stop the run, meaning bad time of possession team, more pressure on Dak, he gets fewer opportunities. Oh yeah, in an offensive league, they have exactly one great weapon. Cross your fingers on the health of CeeDee Lamb.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Owner Jerry Jones said this offseason that\u00a0the Cowboys were &#8220;all in&#8221; on getting back to the Super Bowl in 2024, but his actions, or lack thereof, have told a different story. Both Prescott and Lamb got paid this offseason, and rightfully so, but their extensions were the only thing the Cowboys did this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>After allowing Tony Pollard to walk in free agency, Dallas chose to bring Ezekiel Elliot back and re-sign Rico Dowdle, making them their top backs instead of\u00a0extending an offer\u00a0to Derrick Henry.<\/p>\n<p>Jones hired Mike Zimmer to replace Dan Quinn as the Cowboys&#8217; defensive coordinator this season when Quinn left to become the Commanders&#8217; new head coach after three seasons in Dallas. Zimmer, who was brought in to make the defense more disciplined and stronger against the run, has instead taken the Cowboys from a\u00a0top-10 defense to a bottom-10 defense, which as Cowherd highlighted, places more pressure on Prescott and Lamb to bail out the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>In order for the Cowboys to avoid a regression, they need reinforcements, whether that means trading with the Raiders for All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, with the Panthers for running back Miles Sanders or with the Jets for holdout edge rusher Haason Reddick.<\/p>\n<p>If Dallas is truly &#8220;all in,&#8221; then it has some major decisions to make going into the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past five years, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0have been stuck in a\u00a0meme-worthy\u00a0cycle.
