The Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East last summer with a 12-5 record. Dallas were expected to make a serious run at the Super Bowl, but that dream fell short when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the wildcard round of the playoffs.
Speaking on the Mina Kimes Show, NFL analyst Nate Tice spoke about the Cowboys' off-season and how they are better with some subtractions.
Tice thinks that the Cowboys will gel better without Amari Cooper and feels CeeDee Lamb's chemistry with Dak Prescott is a source of optimism.
Tice said:
"I think there's going to be some improvement through some subtraction from losing Amari Cooper. I thought him and Ceedee Lamb had some redundancy with their skill set as far as kind of Amari's best actually on the move when he's working from the slot and he doesn't get pressed and Ceedee Lamb is best when he's on the move working from the slot. So I thought they kind of can really get them both to get in their best situations always."
Tice added that with a healthy Michael Gallup and the addition of rookie wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, their offense will work better than when Cooper was around.
Tice added:
"He's a great safety valve. No tight end since 2019 has had more first downs on third and fourth down than Schultz. Like his first down percentage is the highest 65.2%. A healthy Michael Gallup as their x. That makes sense. He's a true x receiver. This is another much like Sean Payton or Joe Lombardi very traditionally based offense of how they put everybody."
The Dallas Cowboys could fire Mike McCarthy if they fail to reach expectations
Mike McCarthy took the reins of the Dallas Cowboys in 2020 after they fired former head coach Jason Garrett following a lackluster 8-8 season.
In his first season with the team, McCarthy and Dallas went 6-10 and missed the playoffs.
In his second season, which was last year, they went 12-5 while winning the NFC East. They were upset in the first round of the playoffs by the 49ers.
Heading into the 2022-23 season, McCarthy has high expectations as the Cowboys are one of the best teams on paper. If they fail to make a run at the Super Bowl, the Cowboys could decide to move on from him.
