Cowboys coach Scott Drinkwater says the club’s defence has been the problem that has repeatedly undermined results. Across reporting from multiple outlets, he acknowledges that weaknesses in that area have persisted over time.
The sources present the same core point but differ only in how they frame it, referring to the issue as “nagging” and describing it as an ongoing concern for the Cowboys. The coverage focuses on Drinkwater’s assessment rather than detailing specific games or giving new statistical evidence. Instead, the emphasis is on his view that improving defensive performance is central to addressing the team’s broader challenges.
No outlet in the provided excerpts offers additional, contrasting claims, alternative explanations, or detailed plans. The reports collectively centre on the coach’s admission that defence has been the club’s recurring issue and that it continues to shape how the Cowboys approach improvement.
