"The first step in getting this thing right is doing exactly what Jerry Jones did. Do the process like everyone else, get young names in the building, stop using old head coaches as your DC. That doesn't work as we have seen. Now, with getting Parker in the building, this could be great for their backend and maybe bring some guys in through free agency."
"DaRon Bland just had his second foot surgery in as many years. They say he will be good to go for the start of camp and everything else, but like Trevon Diggs who they released, his best year(s) might be behind him. Here are names to keep an eye on. These are free agents. Tariq Woolen, Jamel Dean, Eric Stokes, Greg Newsome, Roger McCreary, Alontae Taylor and Cam Taylor-Britt."
"Patrick Surtain II: First-team All-Pro; Quinyon Mitchell: First-team All-Pro; Cooper DeJean: First-team All-Pro. He knows how to coach the secondary. Dallas does not currently have one of those types of guys in the building, but some could be very soon. Reddy Steward, Caelen Carson and Josh Butler are decent depth pieces, but that cannot be your starting room heading into next year."
The first step in fixing the defense is replicating Jerry Jones' process: acquire young talent, bring energetic coaches, and stop appointing retired head coaches as defensive coordinators. Adding Parker to the coaching staff could strengthen the backend and attract free-agent defensive backs. Target cornerbacks and safeties such as Patrick Surtain II, Quinyon Mitchell, and Cooper DeJean as top-tier starters. Current depth includes Reddy Steward, Caelen Carson, and Josh Butler, but they are insufficient as a starting group. DaRon Bland's recent second foot surgery raises long-term durability concerns. Free-agent names to monitor include Tariq Woolen, Jamel Dean, Eric Stokes, Greg Newsome, Roger McCreary, Alontae Taylor, Cam Taylor-Britt, and linebacker Nakobe Dean as a potential upgrade.
