The second half of the Cowboys’ season starts with coach Mike McCarthy’s return to Green Bay. And while the hype surrounding the game will eventually wane,...
Mike McCarthy’s return to Green Bay.
If McGovern aggravates his ankle again, Jason Peters will get work at left guard. Dallas has plenty of moving parts, but Stephen Jones said he believes in the depth of the team.McCarthy likes to say closing a season strong is an effective way to reach the postseason. In his career, McCarthy is 42-18 in December and 5-3 in January as a head coach. Last season, the Cowboys went 5-1 in December/January under McCarthy.
McCarthy said the offense needs the ball more to work the play clock so it can control the game. That hasn’t occurred for a number reasons, starting with the loss of Dak Prescott at quarterback. Yet, Prescott’s return in the Bears game before the bye week resulted in a season-high in points , total yards and rushing yards .
The Cowboys have a terrific pass rush, NFL-leading 33 sacks, yet the run defense is atrocious. It’s something the must be addressed. Dallas traded for defensive tackle. In the last three games, the Cowboys allowed 246.1 yards on the ground and have given up over 150 yards rushing in three of their eight games. If Dallas is to achieve success in the postseason, these numbers must get reduced. Finding the right fits in the defensive rotation is a must.
