Dallas Cowboys: 3 things from Week 1 to polish up heading into Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys will face off against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Here are three things from Week One to take with them into Week Two.

The Dallas Cowboys are 0-1 heading into a Week Two matchup with an Atlanta Falcons team with the same set of circumstances. After dropping a close on in Los Angeles to the Rams in Week One, the Cowboys have to be better than they were in Week One in the more important areas of the game.

While you always want to be getting better at everything you do as a team or athlete, they were especially poor at execution in key moments, awareness on both sides of the ball, and being totally in tune with situations/scenarios as a coaching staff.

You also have to account for the fact that there is a ton of newness everywhere. That was the head guy’s first game back in over a year.

A lot of the pieces were new and/or at least in new positions on the field. You also just have to account for the fact that they haven’t had a ton of time to work together in real live action situations.

There was no typical training camp and there were no preseason games either to work the kinks out. These aren’t excuses, as the Cowboys have to better, but these are the facts of the scenario though. They must be taken into account.

Either way though, that week is behind us and we can’t dwell on that. One defeat does not a season end as well though, so there is that.

That doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be working to get better though and/or that we shouldn’t want or expect that. With that in mind, here are three things that the Cowboys should be looking to polish up from Week One as they head into Week 2.
