Locked on Cowboys: Dalton Vs. Gilbert, Tanking Vs. Not
FRISCO - The NFL bye week - a time to assess.
The 2020 Dallas Cowboys - a lot to assess.
In this episode of the "Locked On Cowboys'' podcast, hosts Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool do a great deal of Dallas assessment, on the one hand digging into a relatively macro issue, and on the other hand digging into a micro one.
As the guys answer your Twitter questions, they find themselves up to here with a micro: Whether Garrett Gilbert should play over Andy Dalton once the Cowboys resume play next week at the Minnesota Vikings.

The Cowboys can use this bye week to heal some wounds, physically and otherwise, and can use the time as a self-evaluation period as well. (Though the COVID issue has ruined some of their normal get-together plans.) And we can do the same - not the "wounds'' part, but the "evaluation'' part. Join us inside as we do just that, and thanks for reading and listening!
