Jones didn’t extend McCarthy beyond his contract that’s in its final year and the head coach doesn’t look long for Dallas. McCarthy’s offense looked stagnant and stale against the Lions, and what was once a top-tier unit, has now become a boring shell of itself.
Just a week after starting running back Rico Dowdle broke out and looked like the obvious No. 1 RB for the Cowboys, the team came out and gave veteran RB Ezekiel Elliott more carries than Dowdle. This comes reportedly after Elliott talked about his role with the coaching staff prior to the game.
Prescott -to-Lamb remains the best option on offense, but it’s also a connection that continues to have miscommunication. On one attempt, Prescott threw to a spot where he thought Lamb would be and the WR ran a different route. There was also a throw where Prescott passed to an area where two players were in the same spot. An occurance that has happened several times over the last few seasons.
Zimmer’s defense had no answers either. The Cowboys gave up 492 total yards, 47 points, and didn’t force a punt.
Where were the adjustments? When did the Cowboys try something different to get better results,because what they’ve done through six games isn’t working.
The loss to the Lions was further proof of this coaching staff not being able to get much done to enhance their chances of winning.
