Cowboys’ Struggles Demand Attention

Cowboys

It has been a losing streak for the Dallas Cowboys and one cannot just sweep that under the rug. A back-to-back loss, following that rather debated game at home against the Baltimore Ravens, has brought the team at large to some really tough times. Some players, like Jourdan Lewis, have come out and called for a change of direction along with accountability. The Cowboys have allowed an astonishing 464 yards on the ground the past two games and glaring weaknesses that need immediate attention. As they prepare for a critical battle against the New York Giants, something’s got to give. It’s a wake-up call for the entire franchise.

Dallas Cowboys Run Defense Meltdown

The longest-standing problem has been the Cowboys’ inability to protect against the run. The opposing teams have taken advantage of this weakness for the last two weeks by running the ball at will. This isn’t merely a statistical condition; it represents a failure of the very essence of the team’s defensive tactics. Players such as Lewis have complained that calls for improvement in their tackling and positioning. When a defense allows that many yards, the whole squad is depressed. Therefore, every player ought to step up and ensure that they’re not just depending on talent but also on good execution.

Jourdan Lewis has been very vocal about the need for details. He insists that every player needs to be held accountable for individual performances. According to him, talent rosters aren’t good enough if they cannot execute the basics. Lewis agrees with this mentality: taking every practice and game as it ought to be taken seriously. The little things in the line of knowing the play calls and where to be the difference will be. Cowboys need to take up such an attitude that everything counts, and they do not take either side of their preparation lightly.

Cowboys Must Embrace Accountability

But certainly, on paper, the Cowboys cannot take anything for granted as they prepare to face the New York Giants in their next game. On paper, the Giants have been problematic for the NFL, so it is time for the Cowboys to get up and take control of the game, showing every fan that these guys can step up and play big in terms of standing the test of adversity. The players know they must bring their game, especially now after such disappointing performances at home.

Today, the team needs some leadership in the locker room. After Lewis, Micah Parsons, and Trevon Diggs took up the mantle, it is now when the Cowboys will need some change. But it is more than the words; it’s about action. Players have to hold each other accountable on and off the field. They should set up an environment in which everyone is challenged to break their boundaries. Such a culture encourages growth and determination, especially in hard times. This calls for the team to find their unity and come out strong for their following game.

Conclusion

Perhaps, this is the turning point the Cowboys need for an existence of their season. All the frustration and anger by one of the defensive backs in Jourdan Lewis may bring on the much-needed change. It’s time for the team to point fingers less and take responsibility more. The little things done really well can help the Cowboys avoid a poor finish-literally and figuratively. Maybe they need to go out there and beat the Giants, end the season with something to write home about, and get some of that swag back on the field that they once had.
