The Dallas Cowboys' three consecutive 12-5 regular season losses and three consecutive playoff losses mean the team will not be able to overcome postseason difficulties.
But…why not?
“I don't know,” Dan Quinn said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week. ”
Quinn fell short against the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the playoffs, but he was asked about Dallas' recent failure in which they gave up 48 points at home and talked about it.
And what does “return” mean? Quinn, who was then the defensive coordinator of Dallas and is now the new manager of the Washington Commanders, quit his job the previous offseason in order to challenge for a new title with his star players. This is a reference to turning down an opportunity.
Therefore, especially?
“There's no doubt that coming up short in that match hurt and it left a mark. It left a scar,” DQ said.
Well, it's not Quinn's problem now, it falls on new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's shoulders.
The Cowboys have a talented roster with some players expected to play in the Super Bowl, and their biggest task this offseason will be to translate their regular season success into the postseason.
Dallas could go 17-0 in the regular season, and no one wants to know what version of America's Team will emerge when the lights are at their brightest.
Quinn didn't understand why Dallas continued to be in the dust, and Mike McCarthy probably doesn't either. Perhaps having a rookie like Zimmer in the room can help shed some light on the team's issues.
But yes, it's going to haunt the Cowboys and Quinn for a while.
“I think as a competitor…we're going to keep coming back into the fight and find a little bit of an edge or a little margin to do so. I know they will,” he said, adding that the Cowboys will continue to fight back and find little edges and little margins to do so. talked about it. We have a really strong and solid locker room. And if you get that part right the first time, you have a real chance of making your mark. ”
Or sometimes failure leaves a mark on you.
