The Cowboys must fix this one broken part before all else

The Cowboys have a lot of issues across their team but one stands out as the most important and most pressing

The Dallas Cowboys are struggling, currently tied for the sixth worst record in the NFL. Their defense remains poor from the previous season and their offense is facing unprecedented challenges. Among numerous issues, the team's pass protection has emerged as the most urgent problem. Dallas' struggles to pick up blitzes have become an epidemic, with teams exploiting the offensive line's flaws.

This situation has been exacerbated by the consistent assignment errors amongst the team's trio of first-round offensive linemen. The offense's performance is directly tied to the health of quarterback Dak Prescott, whose durability is questionable at age 33. The team's failure to address this pass protection crisis could lead to significant losses and potential injuries.
