Mike Tomlin offers blunt take on NFL players-only meetings: ‘I think you’re dead’
Key Points:
- The Dallas Cowboys dropped to a 2-3 record after a Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, continuing their inconsistent start to the season, particularly on defense.
- Reports indicated the Cowboys held a players-only meeting to address struggles, but former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin criticized the public discussion of such meetings, suggesting it signals internal issues.
- Mike Pettine has been added to the Cowboys' coaching staff as a senior defensive assistant in an effort to improve the defense, which remains near the bottom of the NFL in yards allowed per game.
- The Cowboys are set to face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 6 as they seek to rebound from their recent difficulties.
