Hill is right, if he has a big impact he isn't going to be here long.

This is about 15 mins but a good listen/watch if you have the time. Goes into some good detail on what our defense will ultimately look like with Parker.

Hill is an ass clown. The guy hasn't even called a play in Dallas and he's being anointed.

Pound for pound, the Eagles arguably had the most talented D roster in the NFL and it wasn't because of Parker. He was the beneficiary of Howie Roseman being the GM. That's not saying that Parker won't be a good DC, but he won't have the same level of talent here. Plus Dak is still our QB.....he's a coach killer.

I'm cautiously optimistic about him. He's been around a great coordinator and scheme for several years and by all accounts has been an excellent DB coach, teacher and communicator.

Virtually all the DB's who have played for him have come out praising him and the impact he had on their careers so far.

And again if for nothing else, he is at least going against Jerry and Spawn's norm. Schottenheimer clearly made this decision and that's a +. He hired an excellent offensive staff last yr when he had the full say on that side of the ball, lets hope he hits again on the defensive side.

This is another positive. Clearly they've greenlighted Parker and Schottenheimer to assemble their own defensive staff.

It's no doubt an upgrade and a much needed change on the D. I'd bet we also grab a player or two from Philly's D although I don't know who'd be available.

I think this is fairly accurate:

• Defense: S Reed Blankenship, LB Nakobe Dean, EDGE Azeez Ojulari, EDGE Joshua Uche, EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DL Brandon Graham, LB Jaelan Phillips, CB Adoree' Jackson.

This reinforces my earlier point. Our players are too dumb to pick up this new defense.

We had to reduce our defensive calls Last season down to a single word and they still struggled with that.

I would be fine with getting rid of everyone on D other than Clark, Q Williams, Overshown, and Bland. Maybe keep Revel and see if he pans out. The rest can go

They are going to need to take a look at everyone’s wonderlic scores and get rid of all the dumb ones

Spare me this bullshit. Dallas was middle of the pack in red zone TD efficiency and were almost dead last in 2024 where Dak was 3 and 5 as a starter. I'm not impressed.

Did it occur to you they look stupid because the guy who was coaching the defense was a moron and had a pathetic scheme that every offense in the league could easily have a field day against?

They were dumb before Fluse got here too. Fluse didn’t make them dumb. He tried to dumb down his defense to help them.

It didn’t work

They were dumb before, they were dumb after, they will be dumb next season too. Now it will be magnified even more with a more complex scheme
