Morning briefing: 6-Nov-24 - Lattimore to Washington; Mingo to Dallas; Philly feels good about roster
Briefly

Lattimore, 28, is a pretty good player; he's allowed just a 69.1 passer rating when targeted this season. After allowing a 74.7 passer rating in 2023 and a 67.3 passer rating in 2022, he's proven to be a significant asset for the Commanders, enhancing their competitiveness in the NFC East, which is becoming increasingly challenging for the Eagles to navigate, especially with the growing capability of Washington's roster.
The Eagles unintentionally helped the Commanders make a significant deal by sending them a favorable third-round pick. The selection had implications beyond just the raw value; it provided Washington with the confidence to pursue players that could bolster their depth and overall team performance. Although Jahan Dotson had a brief moment of prominence for the Eagles, his lack of consistent production has raised questions about the trade’s impact.
Jerry Jones admitted the Cowboys are facing an incredibly tough season, labeling it potentially one of their worst in twenty years. With Dak Prescott indicating frustration with his performance and the team’s struggles, it’s evident that expectations have drastically shifted in Dallas. The combination of injuries and poor decision-making has intensified scrutiny on their coaching staff and player conduct, raising doubts about their ability to compete in the NFC East this year.
While Mike Zimmer was lured back to the NFL, his current predicament with the Cowboys raises concerns about his effectiveness. The franchise's chaotic environment, characterized by threats to media and player tensions, indicates a fractured organization. With the team's disarray culminating in suspensions and public disputes among players, there’s a pressing need for a real assessment of the Cowboys’ direction moving forward to avoid a complete breakdown.
