For the second time in as many weeks, the Dallas Cowboys put together a flat performance on a big stage. The record now falls to 3-5-1, sitting well behind multiple teams in the NFC. While some inside the building appeared to be hopeful about this team’s future, Cowboys legend Troy Aikman took the opposite approach after the Monday Night Football loss.
“It’s not a good football team,” Aikman told Scott Van Pelt. “Bill Parcells once said ‘You are what your record says you are.’ And their record says they’re not a very good football team — average at best. Brian Schottenheimer even alluded to that this week.”
Before anyone showed up at AT&T Stadium, Jerry Jones caught the attention of everyone by saying Dallas already had a trade lined up. He claimed it would be revealed on Tuesday, hours before the NFL trade deadline passed. No further information came to fruition, wondering if some help could be on the way.
Now, Aikman does not see much of a point in making the trade. Most assumed the move would be to help on the defensive end, given the team’s struggles. Aikman went on to say one person is not going to change how the unit looks.
