Michael Irvin Reveals Brutal Truth About 'Broken' Cowboys

FRISCO - Nowhere in Cowboys Nation is there a bigger booster, a bigger homer, than Dallas Cowboys icon and Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin. His passion for "America's Team'' is unwavering. And so is his support ... usually.
But this week, Irvin took to the “Come and Talk 2 Me” podcast and shared his concerns about his beloved 'Boys, speaking frankly with some brutal truths about the 3-3 Cowboys.
It is Irvin's opinion that the up-and-down Dallas defense is unfixable, but that the Dallas offense - riding the same roller-coaster - could benefit from an immediate talent boost.
“That thing on the wall that says, 'Break glass in case of emergency,'? Crack that s**t now, right now,” Irvin said. “I’m sounding the alarm for the help that they need on offense. I’m not sounding the alarm thinking that even with DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons coming back, that’s going to be sufficient enough to stop the holes and the bleeding on that defense.
“So, I’m just sounding the alarm and breaking the glass saying get Davante (Adams), get me some help on this offense because I know you cannot fix that defense. But yeah that glass is broken.”
Irvin is not ignorant about the realities of Dallas' cap plans. So the idea of trading for Davante Adams (who this week was dealt from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets) was never a possibility. And frankly, as we have illustrated time and time again, any player - on offense or defense - who would come with too much age or too much salary simply isn't a fit.
But as the Nov. 5 trade deadline approaches, Dallas does not plan to fix the defense (which is giving up 28 points per game, third-worst in the NFL) with a trade get. Nor does Dallas plan to bring in more weapons for Dak Prescott on the offensive side of the ball, which features the NFL's poorest running attack.
The glass is "broken.'' And the Cowboys might be as well.

That’s what happens when a senile old fart is running the team. A Smart young GM and head coach is the first step toward improving!
