The Dallas Cowboys have turned the ball over a lot and their defense isn’t taking it away, leading to a lot of frustration.
What wasn’t expected was for them to look as bad as they have. Dallas isand has suffered several embarrassing losses. That’s left the coaching staff searching for answers, with Mike McCarthy zeroing in on turnovers.
Dallas currently has a minus-8 turnover ratio with Dak Prescott taking a lot of heat. He’s definitely had issues, throwing eight interceptions in just seven games. It’s not all on him, however, as the defense has struggled to take the ball away.The issues with turnovers has had an impact and McCarthy admitted he’s “very frustrated” by the situation.. “If you want to be known for something as a football team, it’s taking care of the football and taking it away.
, which is why McCarthy still believes they can turn it around. He stated that they can’t change the past but will look to improve in the future, keeping turnovers at the front of their minds. “It’s a focal point, but we can’t change yesterday. We can only work on today and improve moving forward.” - McCarthy via Jon MachotaAs frustrating as the interceptions from Dak have been, the defense’s inability to take the ball away has been detrimental. With Dan Quinn as their defensive coordinator, they were always among the best in the game at forcing turnovers.
That hasn’t been the case with Mike Zimmer. To be fair, he’s been without DaRon Bland and the opposing QB has a lot of time to pass with Micah Parsons out. Even so, this is an issue that has to be solved if they want to stop the bleeding and start winning games.
