"Flores has done good work in Minnesota, and if Dallas is looking for a new defensive identity, he fits the bill. We have all seen Flores turn the Vikings into one of the more disciplined defenses in the league. They bring pressure, disguise looks, and ask their guys to play with versatility. It's not shallow aggression, his defense is purposeful. They force offenses into uncomfortable situations without just hoping for a sack and that is a big deal."
"Here's the thing most people miss: Flores doesn't lean on one package every snap. He blends chaos with control, and he will slide into Bear fronts when he wants to make a statement. Three down linemen crowded over the center and both guards, it's a straight message that the run isn't doing anywhere easily. I know this is where the Cowboys' interior really matters."
Dallas needs a defensive reset and Brian Flores provides a plan centered on pressure, disguise, and flexible fronts that complement the Cowboys' interior strength. Flores built a disciplined, versatile Vikings defense that forces offenses into uncomfortable situations rather than gambling on sacks. He mixes chaotic pressure with controlled looks and will deploy Bear fronts—three down linemen crowded over the center and both guards—to blunt the run. The Cowboys possess Quinnen Williams, Osa Odighizuwa, and Kenny Clark, three capable interior defenders who fit the Bear role by occupying blockers, collapsing pockets, and making plays inside. That trio enables sustained interior domination and scheme versatility.
