I bet we lose by less than 14 points in every game the rest of the year.

From Todd Archer:

The other half of the coaching change created when Wade Phillips was fired has now come: Paul Pasqualoni will be the Cowboys defensive coordinator for the rest of the season.

Currently the defensive line coach, Pasqualoni is the only assistant coach with experience as a coordinator in a 3-4 scheme. Dave Campo has been a coordinator in the past but not in a 3-4.

Pasqualoni spent 2008 and '09 as Miami's defensive coordinator in 2008 and '09. He was fired after the season but quickly re-joined the Cowboys in the playoffs after Todd Grantham decided to leave for the University of Georgia.

Pasqualoni joined the Cowboys as tight ends coach in 2005 and moved to linebackers in 2006, where he spent two years.

In 2008 Miami's defense allowed just 19.8 points per game and last year's unit finished fourth in third-down percentage and lead the league in sacks per attempt.

An incredibly detailed coach, players like Jason Witten and DeMarcus Ware credit Pasqualoni with their development. He is considered a no-nonsense task master and he will get the final eight games to see if he can help turn around a defense that has fallen way off.

If Parcells and his chosen GM fires you, I have no interest in you whatsoever.

not a real surprise, wasnt much in house to pick from

hopefully he changes up some coverages and maybe tinkers with the blitz calls some...otherwise the best he can do is recommend benching some people, starting with Ball

This still doesn't change the fact that the secondary is in shambles and the ILBs are slow.

Not only that they are downright unathletic, they couldn't turn and run with most Left Tackles in this league...

Understatement....These guys are pretty much small DL and thats it(short area quickness)....Kinda sad they are starting and it doesnt look like Lee is a whole lot of an upgrade.
