The Dallas Cowboys are winners of three games in a row and a lot of it is due to their current and future first-round picks Robert Newhouse Jersey , Leighton Vander Esch and Amari Cooper (you know what I mean).First-round picks excel in Dallas generally and both LVE and Cooper are the latest examples of that. Dating all the way back to Tyron Smith’s selection in 2011 (the first in the Jason Garrett era) the Cowboys generally find superstars with their first pick. The last few years have treated us to some great players but Taco Charlton is a bit of an outlier in that respect as of now.We haven’t seen Charlton through this three-game winning streak due to a shoulder injury. Some speculation surfaced on Wednesday courtesy of 105.3 The Fan that Charlton was absent from the Thanksgiving Day game against Washington not because of anything connected to his shoulder but perhaps things relating to his attitude. Take a listen.Mike Fisher suggests that Taco may have been “moping” due to how things have gone on around him. With Randy Gregory, Dorance Armstrong and Tyrone Crawford (now spending more time outside as the interior gets healthy) all involved, room as the bookend for DeMarcus Lawrence is hard to come by. Fisher suggests this might be the issue for Taco. It would be quite interesting if Jason Garrett and Co. really did bench Charlton more to send a message than out of necessity due to how critical last week’s game against Washington was. The argument can certainly be made that Taco’s presence might not have made the biggest impact but perhaps that’s why an attitude adjustment, as Fish puts it, may have been necessary.What do you think? Do you buy that the Cowboys left Taco off of the active roster in order to adjust his attitude?Update 1:18pm ETShortly after we published this post Taco himself tweeted out a justification of sorts. The Dallas Cowboys have already played their Week 13 game, they won against the previously 10-1 New Orleans Saints in case you forgot. It was amazing. But the show must go on and the rest of the league has yet to play including Monday night’s game between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles.As things currently stand the Cowboys have a lead with a little breathing room in the NFC East Daryl Johnston Color Rush Jersey , but things are a little dicey behind them. This is why Monday night’s game is important as how it goes will influence the rest of the season and division race.NFC East standings after Cowboys win on Thursday:Dallas Cowboys: 7-5 overall, 3-1 in divisionWashington Redskins: 6-5 overall, 2-1 in divisionPhiladelphia Eagles: 5-6 overall, 2-1 in divisionNew York Giants: 3-8 overall, 0-4 in divisionThe G-Men have taken themselves out of this conversation and will be spending their holiday season watching from the kid’s table. Dallas obviously has the inside track to the division crown, but whoever wins on Monday night has a snowball’s chance. The question now becomes... who do you hope wins?The logic behind rooting for PhiladelphiaThere are undoubtedly many of you who are immediately screaming internally that you can never root for the Eagles https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Leighton-Vander-Esch-Jersey , so just consider this rooting against the Redskins. Whatever helps you sleep at night. The reality here is that someone has to win and someone has to lose so we might as well try to benefit from it by getting on the same page.It makes mathematical sense to root for the Eagles if we’re being honest. They have one less win than the Redskins so a Philadelphia victory allows no team to match the Cowboys current win total. That’s certainly preferable. Philadelphia also has the far more difficult schedule remaining of the NFC East foes. After this game on Monday night they visit Dallas (another point is that the Cowboys still can influence Philly), visit Los Angeles, host Houston, and visit Washington to end the season. There’s logic to preferring an Eagles win, er, Redskins loss. From BTB’s own Tom Ryle:The logic behind for WashingtonIf your mind is made up on wanting the Redskins to lose more than the Eagles https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Connor-Williams-Jersey , hey that’s up to you; however, there is definitely logic to support preferring a Washington win. It’s this writer’s preferred option if you care.Jerome Miron-USA TODAY SportsWashington’s schedule is easier, nobody denies that. After visiting Philly they host the Giants, visit the Jaguars, travel to Tennessee, and host the Eagles in the regular season finale. That’s unquestionably an easier road than Philadelphia’s... but the car they’re traveling in is of a lower quality. That’s important.The Redskins have had a long time to sit on their loss to the Cowboys (these really are such fun sentences to type) and Colt McCoy will likely be more prepared for his second game this season than he was on Thanksgiving Day. That doesn’t change that he’s still Colt McCoy.If you asked me which team I’m more concerned about for the Cowboys sake https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Darren-Woodson-Jersey , it’s the Eagles not the Redskins. Philadelphia is a better overall team and for me the priority is eliminating them, even if that means keeping Washington step for step with Dallas through Week 13. That schedule of theirs definitely looks soft but there’s no way that the Redskins in their current form are capable of capitalizing on it in the way that our deepest fears and insecurities think.What say you, BTB? Who do you hope wins/loses? What are you hoping is the situation surrounding the Cowboys when we wake up next Tuesday morning?
