The Dallas Cowboys are grappling under the dark shadow of profound personal grief. This embattled squad, under new coach Brian Schottenheimer, currently standing at a disheartening 3-5-1 tally, is trying to find some good news after a week filled with sorrow and strategic setbacks.<\/p>\n
Now the question echoing off the walls of AT&T Stadium is whether the Cowboys can forge steel from suffering and escape their defensive deficiencies \u2014 or will they fall victim to the \u201cugly death\u201d of disorganized play?<\/p>\n
That \u201cugly death,\u201d as veteran analyst Nate Newton warns, came in response to co-host Everson Walls’ cautionary note, who emphasized the reality of NFL success:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can only do that with a good defense,\u201d Wall said. \u201cWhen you have your defense has to keep giving you opportunities to do that. Otherwise, if they don’t hold, then you’re falling behind; you’ve got to change your game plan now. You’re throwing the ball all over.\u201d<\/p>\n
To which Newton reacted:<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you die the ugly death, now you die the ugly death \u2014 you ain’t dying it on the street.\u201d [Timestamp – 5:57]<\/p>\n
