The CP hire was pretty progressive of the Cowboys so the hope is understandable, at least that's how I looked at it. They may yet turn things around, but the opening game performance would have ranked in the bottom five if it occurred last year which was an all time bad defense. Tons of new players, new coaching staff, same results. Special teams is also a dumpster fire and they really didn't address that part of our staff either. It's just deflating. Schotty seems like a good dude, but I'm not sure he's a good HC and all the doubts we had about him when he was initially hired are starting to bear fruit.
The season does seem kind of cursed though with Tyler Smith getting thumb surgery a week before the opener and Malik Davis (who was so often overlooked) suffering a career threatening injury after finally earning a backup role and a mere 3 days before the opener. Seriously bummed about Malik.
