The Cowboys' toughness and togetherness are under siege, and the fix falls squarely on Mike McCarthy

After a 2-5 start, Mike McCarthy’s list of things to fix with the Dallas Cowboys is lengthy.

Quarterback. Zeke. Defense. O-line. You name it, it’s there. This team is terrible. It lost the past two games by 28 and 22 respectively.

None of it matters, though, until McCarthy goes back to square one.

You can’t win in the NFL if you aren’t tough and together. You may not be able to win in high school that way. No amount of talent or scheme can overcome the basics of the sport at the pro level.
