Fair or unfair, the Dallas Cowboys new defensive coordinator already has a lot of pressure on him to succeed early. Despite being just 34 years old and a first-time DC, he’s expected to help turn around what was arguably the worst defense in the league last season. He definitely has his work cut out for him and will need all the help he can get succeed.

First on his agenda is filling out the remainder of his defensive coaching staff. Fortunately, it looks as if Jerry Jones and Company are allowing their new DC to put together the coaching staff...

There is only a single game left in the NFL season as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off in Super Bowl LX, but as soon as it is done every single team will be squarely focused on getting to next year’s version of the game of all games.

For now that is already the focus for 30 teams, a disposition that many, including our Dallas Cowboys, have held since the regular season came to an end. By this point we are all well-familiar with various names in the upcoming draft class, some even have their favorites,...

On Saturday, it was announced that former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy had landed the top job with his hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

While the Steeler faithful weren’t too happy with the hiring, it is a huge moment for the Pittsburgh native and long-revered coach.

McCarthy’s opening press conference will begin today, but as the celebration and work kick off there, the Cowboys are likely going to be cringing until his new staff with the Steelers is assembled and complete.

Why? Well, let’s not forget, McCarthy was in the building for Dallas just over...

New Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker is generating a lot of excitement already, even though the 34-year old has never called a play in his coaching career. Despite that, it’s not hard to figure out what kind of system Parker will bring to the Cowboys.

A staunch disciple of Vic Fangio, Parker is expected to run the same scheme. He first worked under Fangio when the current Eagles defensive coordinator was the head coach in Denver. When Fangio was fired, one of his other disciples – current Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero – was put in charge of the defense....

I can’t get enough of the way that this has started for Christian Parker. He has not even been hired for a week yet and things are looking good.

The first order of business for Parker was to get the coaches that he and Brian Schottenheimer wanted in the building.

That started by relieving defensive passing game coordinator Andre Curtis, secondary coach David Overstreet and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi of their duties, per sources.

Not only did they get rid of the coaches that struggled, they did lose a guy coach on the defensive side of the ball that was...

The Dallas Cowboys seem to be having a bit of a moment. Dallas hired Christian Parker last week to be their new defensive coordinator and while that is very encouraging, there is still a lot of work to be done. In fact, there is almost 100% of all available work left to be done.

As we get excited about what is happening with our team though, it is also worth looking across the aisle, so to speak, at the immediate competition in the NFC East. Its reigning champions, and reigning champions of the entire NFL for at least another week...

Offense is always where draft hype gets out of control first. Arm strength, body type, and “tools” start carrying more weight than what actually happened on Saturdays.

Before long, we’re projecting guys into stardom they haven’t earned yet.

When I went back through this offensive class and focused on actual production and impact, a few things became obvious.

Some players are being talked about like cornerstones without consistently playing line one. Others are quietly, maybe not so quietly, doing everything you want and still aren’t getting their due.

Here’s how I see it.

The Most Overhyped Offensive Players ------------------------------------...

The Dallas Cowboys have a new defensive coordinator. After interviewing several candidates, the team hired former Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator, Christian Parker. The 34-year-old coach is rising up the ranks as his preparation and intellect have many people talking about him. The Cowboys are hoping he can be the answer to fixing their defensive problems, but what types of changes should we expect? Here are four things to expect with the hiring of Parker.

Maximizing potential

The young defensive coach has a well-known reputation for developing young defensive backs everywhere he has gone. Many know about...

Titans hire Aaron Whitecotton as defensive run game coordinator/DL coach – Charean Williams, PFT

Cowboys doing a full defensive makeover.

The Titans are hiring Aaron Whitecotton as their new run game coordinator/defensive line coach, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.

Whitecotton interviewed with the Cowboys for their defensive coordinator opening before they hired Christian Parker.

He rejoins Robert Saleh in Tennessee. The two coaches have spent eight seasons together, including from 2021-24 when Saleh was head coach of the Jets and Whitecotton was the defensive line coach.

[Hiring Christian Parker could help recruit free...

Suffice to say that the NFC East as a division failed to scare anyone in the NFL in 2025.

The Philadelphia Eagles won the division with an 11-6 record. They were the only team in the division to finish above .500.

As a whole, the NFC East finished with the worst overall record at 27-40-1.

That’s worse than the NFC South’s 30-38 record, and that division didn’t have a single team finish above .500 in 2025.

The Eagles were sent packing in the wildcard round by the 49ers. Who promptly went to Seattle and got Godzilla stomped in the Divisional...

The Dallas Cowboys found their new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker. The changes on the defensive staff won’t stop there though. Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Cowboys will interview Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin.

Martin has been with the Steelers since 2016. He first started out as a scouting assistant. After two years in that role, Martin was a coaching assistant for the next two seasons. In 2020, Martin got his next promotion when he was named the assistant outside linebackers coach in Pittsburgh, and he held that position for three seasons. Over the last three years,...

The Panini Senior Bowl kicks off this Saturday, 1:30 p.m. CT at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile. With over 130 draft prospects participating across the National and American rosters, the annual All-Star game is a major proving ground where NFL staffs and evaluators can finally stack players from every conference in the same game.

Over the last five draft classes, that Mobile pipeline has mattered in Dallas in a big way. Across the Cowboys’ 45 picks from 2021 to 2025, 19 have been Senior Bowl participants, highlighted by the six Senior Bowl alums Dallas selected in 2022 alone. On the...
