Every week, we take questions on X (Twitter) and Facebook about Dallas Cowboys players and other issues surrounding the team. So let’s get9 right into it. Mike: The answer to that question needs to be answered this weekend.

The Cowboys need to figure out something quick because after allowing 190 rushing yards to the Saints, Dallas faces the Ravens on Sunday.

The Cowboys must find a way to compete with the Shanahan-style motion offenses, or else the season will end as has become expected. | From @cdpiglet

In his first game as an NFL defensive coordinator in 2000, Mike Zimmer's unit gave up 201 rushing yards to Duce Staley as the Eagles beat the Cowboys 41-14.

In Zimmer’s debut as defensive coordinator in 2000, the temperature was 109 degrees and Eagles players drank pickle juice to help them win 41-14.

The possibility of the defense taking another step in Mike Zimmer’s first season is what could potentially make the difference in January.

The Cowboys' defensive coordinator in 2024 is Mike Zimmer, who's in his second stint as DC with the organization. Zimmer, 68 years old, also oversaw the Cowboys' defense from 2000-2006. In Week 1, Zimmer's defense had a strong performance, allowing 17 points to the Browns in a win while recording two interceptions and six sacks.

After thinking about it and discussing it with some smart football people, maybe the Dallas Cowboys did get overconfident against the New Orleans Saints. I'll explain. Earlier on Tuesday, I wrote a post detailing how the team's official stance on why linebacker DeMarvion Overshown didn't see the field as much as he did in a remarkable Week 1 performance lacked logic.
