Speaking on ESPN's "NFL Live," Orlovsky would speak on how the struggling defense has been getting the attention, but Orlovsky wanted to hone in on the fact that he wants people to "stop saying this is a good offense" when it comes to the Cowboys. Orlovsky would list a few aspects of why Dallas' offense is outdated in the modern NFL, though he says the team has a "good individual, talented players."
"One, good offenses are great against the blitz. They're terrible against the blitz, in all facets," Orlovsky said.

"Number two, we've talked a ton about getting into strong splits, shrinking your formation, stacks, bunches. They do it the least in the NFL," Orlovsky continued. "The third thing is motion, pre-snap motion, at-the-snap motion. They're the third-lowest in the NFL, and so for an organization and for people covering the NFL that continue to say, 'We got a Super Bowl caliber offense.' No, you don't. You got a bunch of really talented players, but you are not a good offense, and you don't do the things that good offenses in this era of the NFL do."
