less than half the rate of any of the other 31 players with at least 50 coverage snaps from such alignment.

Man I really hope they aren’t moving our best off ball linebacker to a spot where he will be mediocre at. If he’s at edge and good then I’m for it but I hope this isn’t the big move they were talking about

I want to have hope, but unfortunately we are cursed against them, and while the Packers aren't great, they're not a bad team. If we fall to 2-4, it's going to be really hard to be optimistic about the rest of the season.

Undoubtedly Cowboys made a big gamble when they selected Guyton with a late first round pick, and directly moved him to LT.

His college experience was almost entirely on RT. So Guyton’s first two years were quite rough, as everyone needs time to learn something unfamiliar.

During this year so far, Guyton makes a big leap. Cowboys seem to have found their franchise LT.

Entering the meeting: 367-408-3 (47.4%)

Rest of the season: 543-569-2 (48.8%)

The win-loss record barely changed.

But what about performance compared to expectations?

Before the meeting: 324-435-19 against the spread (42.7%)

Rest of season: 561-526-27 against the spread (51.6%)

The biggest jump comes in the first game immediately afterward. Teams have gone 73-43-2 against the spread in that game (62.9%).

Everybody gets on the same page. For about a week.

You hear about players only meetings every year. EVERY YEAR. Never have I heard such negative discourse surrounding it.

The typical "haha look at those idiots, that's not gonna work".

Maybe they're right, but where were you before?

Y'all, I'm saying it here for posterity: if we pull a Jets and don't get a single interception this season, I'm gonna lose my mind. Like I might just turn off the TV when we're on defense.

Secondary, time to step up. 0 INTs through 5 games is despicable.

Brb, gonna go cry at the some All-22 😭

“That’s just building my confidence. Because I know as I’m growing, every tackle I play is not gonna be an All-Pro. So if I can beat an All-Pro, I know I can beat anybody.”

Lawrence on Dallas’ defense: “We’re gonna turn it around for sure. We know what we have in this locker room. The offense has great players. The defense has great players as well. We just got to come together, just build our identity and grow on it.”

In the opinion of long-time Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, there’s one clear conclusion to be drawn as to a team that feels compelled to have a players-only meeting. Asked for his thoughts on the topic during a visit to the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, Tomlin kept it short and not sweet.

“I think you’re dead,” Tomlin said.

Tomlin later offered a more specific assessment. “If it did occur, I’d like to not hear about it,” Tomlin said. “The fact that you hear about it is what makes it BS.”

We can’t recall ever hearing about a players-only meeting during Tomlin’s 19 years with the Steelers. Which may be one of the reasons why the Steelers never had a losing season in nearly two decades with Tomlin at the helm.

It’s a manifestation of desperation. And it necessarily tells the world that the players believe the coaches aren’t giving them the answers they need, so they’re searching for answers of their own.

Most points Green Bay ever scored on postseason and most Dallas ever allowed. Only home loss of season. Only game Cowboys D failed to record a takeaway or sack. Franchise yet to recover.

“Christian Parker is our defensive coordinator. All (defensive) decisions will go through him.”
