The New England Patriots' trip to Super Bowl LX has been almost entirely due to the play of their defense. They've held opposing teams to just 8.7 points per game during their playoff run, and have forced at least one turnover in each game. They even returned an interception for a touchdown against the Houston Texans. In large part, the defensive success has been due to the play of their cornerbacks.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer speaks with media and shares his thoughts on the decision to release Trevon Diggs before the final game of the season, the state of the CB room going forward and answers if this situation can serve as an example of the cult.
The Dallas faithful should be prepared for a major overhaul of their defense this offseason. We will likely see new faces at every level of the unit, but especially in the Cowboys' secondary. It's arguably been the defense's weakest unit this year, as the group's two cornerstones, DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs, have either struggled to stay healthy or failed to make their expected high-level impact when on the field.
