10 numbers to digest before Dallas Cowboys host Philadelphia Eagles

8. The Dallas Cowboys didn’t have five starters last Sunday.

I get it. The Cowboys didn’t have their starting tackles, La’ el Collins and Tyron Smith. The slot receiver, Randall Cobb, was also out. The Cowboys lost their cornerback, the great Byron Jones. Star wide receiver, Amari Cooper, played in one series.

So, the Dallas Cowboys have enough excuses right? Wrong. If this is a Super Bowl team, with great coaching, they would have won regardless of injuries, especially against a 0-4 team.

The Dallas Cowboys played the New Orleans Saints without Drew Brees. Did they pounce? No.

The Dallas Cowboys played Green Bay Packers without their star receiver, Davante Adams. Did they pounce? No.

The Dallas Cowboys visited quarterback Sam Darnold, who was coming back from mononucleosis. This was his second game of the year! Did they pounce? No.

No. No. No!

9. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams did pounce at 0-4.

Do you want to see some good coaching? Look at the other side of the field. As the stars fell out of the sky for Big D, coach Gregg Williams pressed his foot on the gas pedal and struck for blood. Oh boy, things started to turn south when he smelled blood.
