Former Dallas Cowboys coach destroys team due to lack of physicality

The Dallas Cowboys are now 1-2 after their second home loss in a row. At the weekend, it was the Baltimore Ravens who inflicted the defeat on them in a thrilling game with a score of 28-25.

Although the final score was close, Dallas needed a 19-point explosion in the fourth quarter to win the game. Before that, Baltimore was on top when they led 28-6 going into the final 15 minutes.

They earned that lead thanks to a tough running game led by Derrick Henry, who rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens as a team rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns, proving to be the stronger team physically.

According to former Dallas head coach Jason Garrett, that’s the norm for this franchise. In a harsh but fair critique, Garrett said the key to beating this team is building a lead through the strength of the running game, adding that “everyone understands” that this team is not physical.

It’s hard to argue against that point, especially after Dallas gave up 190 yards and four touchdowns on the ground to the New Orleans Saints in their Week 2 loss.

For further proof, we can even look back at their playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. In that game, they gave up 143 yards and three touchdowns at home, losing 48-32.

The Cowboys have been criticized in the past for their “country club” atmosphere, and Jerry Jones is the one pointing the finger at him for the culture he created. Considering that this accusation dates back to the Garrett era – and is still an issue – it’s hard to believe the problem doesn’t start at the top.

However, it is the players on the field who have to take responsibility at some point and find a way to win on offense. If they don’t, it will be a long season.
