Month to Month: What we learned in September…
The 2024 offseason has suddenly arrived, perhaps much sooner than the Cowboys were expecting.
Just like that, the focus now shifts towards next year, with free agency beginning in March, followed by the NFL Draft in April.
Before we take a deep dive into the next steps for this team, let’s take a look back to the 2023 season, with a monthly recap of what went right and wrong for the Cowboys.
Today, let’s begin with the month of September.
Employee of the Month: Micah Parsons resumed his third season exactly where he left off the previous year – wrecking shop on the quarterback. Parsons was an animal in all three of the first games of the season, especially in Week 2 against the Jets, who had no answer for his burst off the edge. In three games, Parsons had 15 pressures and four sacks, earning him NFC Defensive Player of the Month.
They Looked Like Contenders When: The first quarter of the first game. With the entire world watching, the Cowboys went into the Meadowlands and were putting a beatdown on the Giants from the very start. A blocked field goal for a touchdown, followed by a Pick 6 by DaRon Bland, and the Cowboys were on their way to an impressive 40-0 blowout. Remember, at that time, the Giants were still coming off a playoff berth from a year ago and an appearance in the Divisional round. So that was a statement by this Cowboys team who dominated on all three phases of the game.
