The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> have been a hot topic of conversation leading up to the NFL <\/a>trade deadline, and everyone knows the team is actively looking to improve on the defensive side of the ball. <\/p>\n

Of course, there is still one game to play in Week 9 before the deadline comes on Tuesday, November 4, and there has been some discussion about how the result could impact Jerry Jones<\/a> and the front office’s plans. <\/p>\n

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, it won’t. Schultz doesn’t believe that a loss to the Arizona Cardinals <\/a>on Monday Night Football will stop the Cowboys from making a trade, and it won’t turn the team from buyers to sellers. <\/p>\n

Then, he made a bold prediction that the Cowboys can make a “realistic playoff push” in the second half of the season if they are able to turn the defense around.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I look at Dallas realistically and the state of the NFC East and really the NFC as a whole, there\u2019s still a massive window for them to make a playoff push<\/a>, even with another loss,” Schultz said during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan’s appearance on GBAG Nation. <\/p>\n

“I wouldn\u2019t say they\u2019re gonna be sellers. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna be huge buyers, but I do think a move is going to be made on the defensive side of the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing some rare optimism surrounding the Cowboys is a nice change of pace from the standard “sky is falling” coverage that we’ve seen following the team, and it’s a dose of reality. It’s a long season, so there is still time for the team and its defense to get their act together. <\/p>\n

Whether it actually happens is another story, but in the wise words of Lloyd Christmas, “You’re telling me there’s a chance\u2026”<\/p>\n
