Troy Aikman discussed the Cowboys’ struggle defending the run, their upcoming game against the Giants and more.
Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman listens to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during a press conference ahead of the Children’s Cancer Fund’s “A Knight to Remember” Gala, on Friday, April 19, 2024, at Hilton Anatole in Dallas. They once again served as the Honorary Chairs for the gala.After the game when you hear Dak and some of the other guys say we just have players who aren’t doing their job, we have players who aren’t focusing they’re not paying attention to the detail.
“This game tonight, obviously, is a very important game because of the last two weeks for Dallas. It becomes, as I was asked yesterday on PTI, is it a must-win? And I think for for Week 4, we’re about as close to a must win as you can have for those reasons. If there’s dissension within the locker room, the only thing that really cares that is winning, and if you lose, it only gets pronounced. So tonight’s a big ball game for a lot of reasons.”“It’s the age old question.
The Cowboys need to fix their run game on both sides of the ball if they want to be a winning football team, right?“It doesn’t have to get fixed. It has to get fixed if they want to, if they want to win, if they want to go to the playoffs, yeah, that has to get fixed. I’m not one of these that says ‘run the ball, stop the run.’ To me, it’s very cliche and it depends on the game, it depends on who you’re playing. There’s a lot of factors in that.
“When teams play Dallas, this goes for several years. This has been the formula we’ve talked about as well. It was a formula for San Francisco. It was a formula for Green Bay when they came in. It’s been the formula this year, whether it’s New Orleans or Baltimore. There’s great appreciation and respect for Micah Parsons and their abilities in the pass to get after the quarterback, so you can’t play that game. So everybody comes in and you’ve just got to get physical with them.
