"While players like Kenneth Murray and Donovan Wilson have also caught their share of criticism, the entire operation on defense isn't aligning itself with competing in, or much less winning, football games. The Cowboys only wins are against the Giants in overtime when they still allowed 37 points, and a Jets team that has proven to make anyone look good against them this year as the last winless side so far in 2025."
"As for the defense? They are much more of Frankenstein's monster going through the same type of personnel and scheme shifts simultaneously under the coordination of Matt Eberflus. The third defensive coordinator in Dallas in three seasons, Eberflus was dealt a tough hand in a lot of ways, not just the departure of Micah Parsons at the 11th hour before week one in Philadelphia."
Dak Prescott has returned to near-MVP form in Brian Schottenheimer's scheme, which fits veterans, recent draft picks, free agent Javonte Williams, and trade piece George Pickens. The defense resembles a Frankenstein's monster amid simultaneous personnel and scheme changes under Matt Eberflus. Eberflus is the third defensive coordinator in three seasons and faced the last-minute departure of Micah Parsons before week one. Individual defenders Kenneth Murray and Donovan Wilson have drawn criticism, but the entire defense is failing to stop opponents and jeopardizing wins. Narrow victories over the Giants and Jets and a 40-40 tie with the Packers underscore the problem.
