As difficult and painful as it is to talk about, the 2020 Dallas Cowboys season did happen. And for fans to appreciate where this team can go, we must also remember where they’ve been.
Welcome to the Daily Blitz by DSP Media in partnership with CowboysSI.com.
There are several questions about the 2021 Cowboys, especially on the defensive side of the ball. 2020 was a historically disappointing season for so many reasons and on so many levels. Injuries aside, the defense was just bad.
And much of that can be blamed on first-year Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. He made the coaching hires that doomed the team from the beginning. COVID-19 protocols didn’t help, erasing any offseason and training camps the NFL had planned.
So we set our sights the coming season, complete with an extra preseason game for the Cowboys, complete with training camp, complete with mini-camps, complete with a healthy (we think) starting quarterback, and complete with a new defensive coordinator.
For all practical purposes, and for reasons stemming from averages alone, this team has to be better in 2021. But can it survive with an average defense? Will the defense be vastly improved or only marginally? Will quarterback Dak Prescott have a comeback season? Will running back Ezekiel Elliott be “2017 Zeke” or “2020 Zeke?” Will this wide receiving trio of Michael Gallup, CeeDee Lamb, and Amari Cooper make history? We make predictions. Let’s discuss?
