On Wednesday’s episode of NFL Total Access, a former Steelers defender came to defend the Dallas Cowboys amidst all the “distraction” brought upon this week with star running back Ezekiel Elliott. In a short discussion with former Patriots’ player Willie McGinest, they answered a question about Elliott’s perceived antics - is it a distraction to the team and would it be detrimental to their plans for 2017. Ike Taylor doesn’t really believe it’s going to affect the Cowboys season goals.
To paraphrase his comment: He would say ‘no’ because the Dallas Cowboys are built to handle the distractions.
