Dallas Cowboys: 10 takeaways from All or Nothing (Part 2)

Here are takeaways 6-10 on Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing, which features the Dallas Cowboys. This article is part two, so be sure to catch last week’s post.

Folks, have you caught All or Nothing on Amazon yet? If you want the Dallas Cowboys, the show is a great way to gobble up America’s Team, especially the squad in this era.

If you read my article last week, here is part two with takeaways six to ten. Before we get into the final half, I’d like to address one thing.

Many of you responded to my thoughts on Jason Garrett as the head cheerleader in Dallas. Was I too harsh? Perhaps.

I will say this: Let’s not confuse Garrett with Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells. The cameras caught up with the Dallas Cowboys around the clock, but with many shows and films, the editing room is a place to chop off the bad stuff.

Sure, the final cut showed a feisty Jason Garett who grew red by the minute. However, I’m not buying this. It’s different when we know the camera is rolling. It’s different when editors can photoshop blemishes away with a flick of a finger. Editors are conductors who can author stories they see fit.

We may have seen Garrett at his best, the most polished when the ship was sinking, but don’t ask me to bite. The fact is the coaches, headed by Jason Garrett, failed to adjust in the second half. When the team settled for field goals or allowed big plays, Garrett was clapping and optimistic about the next series.

From this perspective, I didn’t see accountability or coaching. I saw cheerleading. Clapping. Maybe you’re right, I saw a different version of the Dallas Cowboys on All or Nothing. In the end, though, we both saw the Cowboys end up 9-7, barely winning the last game against a team sitting starters and missing the playoffs.

That’s the version we saw, right?

And with that, let’s roll on to the final takeaways.
