Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer addressed the team's recent struggles, stating that the core issues "start with me" during a press conference on Friday. Schottenheimer's comments come as the Cowboys attempt to diagnose the reasons behind their disappointing performance this season.
The veteran coach, who joined Dallas' staff in 2023, acknowledged his role in the offensive shortcomings that have plagued the team. While specific details of the collapse were not elaborated in his remarks, Schottenheimer's willingness to accept accountability signals a leadership approach focused on internal solutions rather than external excuses.
The Cowboys, who entered the season with playoff aspirations, have faced mounting criticism over inconsistent offensive production. Schottenheimer's unit has struggled to find rhythm despite featuring high-profile playmakers. His public ownership of the problems may set the tone for a week of intensive evaluation as Dallas prepares for its next opponent.
