Jason Garrett: Cowboys ‘absolutely not’ playing our best

The Dallas Cowboys are heading into the season with a lot of uncertainties. They’re on a new set of offensive and defensive coordinators for the third straight season.

The Cowboys defense also lost a lot of starters along the defensive line, though the Cowboys offense is considered to be their high-powered vehicle towards success. The only problem is the Cowboys aren’t seeing any of it in the preseason.

“Are we playing at our optimum level right now?” head coach Jason Garrett asked, via the Dallas Morning News. “Absolutely not. In 31 other cities, if they’re honest, they’ll probably say the same thing.

“But after three preseason games, this is where we are.”

The Cowboys aren’t panicking though, Garrett says they’ll be ready for the start of the season.

“Absolutely,” Garrett said. “That’s the nature of it. Hopefully you get better day after day, game after game and you improve over the course of the season.

“One of the things we preach to the team is the players and teams that improve over the course of the season are the ones that are going to be there at the end.”
