Dallas Cowboys: 10 takeaways from All or Nothing on Amazon Prime
1. The Head Cheerleader
After seeing how Jason Garrett leads, I really wish I could rewind and undo the things I saw. But it is too late.
Watching Garrett coach is no different from watching a head cheerleader lead with a pair of expensive pom-poms. He’s got the look, the walk and talk down, but when it comes to real coaching solutions, Garrett is at his finest when he claps.
He’s the guy who orders a steak medium rare, but when it comes out raw, he’ll still eat and leave a 20 percent tip. The guy can’t patch a flaw even if Bill Parcells told him how.
In All or Nothing, Garrett is the ultimate friend. He can’t tell his players what they did wrong, how they should correct themselves, or what the next course of action is.
Instead, we get Atlanta Falcons’ defensive end Adrian Clayborn on a full-blown attack, racking up six sacks and bruising Dak Prescott. In fact, Dak started the game as a young 20-year-old but looked like someone who was about to retire to join the ESPN team to call Monday night games.

Garrett has a propensity to say things are almost okay (they are not), that his team will get the next one, and then clap about it. The clap is the new fist bump. I mean the guy just can’t hold anyone accountable.
The cameras get clear shots of the beautiful facilities that hold the Dallas Cowboys. In some shots, we see one team message plastered in a hallway. It reads, “Do your job.”
The real question is, when will Jason Garrett do his?
