Excitement level over hiring Christian Parker? Scale it: 1-10
Really good video guys
8 right now, maybe 10 depending on who we draft, on strictly Scheme 10… Question is, can we implicate it?
i like giving a new guy a chance. tired of retreads
10 all the way. Feels to me that things are finally starting to change in Dallas and I'm really excited about it
I give it an A+
Very excited for this hire!
Was I hoping for Leonhard? Yes but the more I heard about Parker the more I liked
Pleased by the process by which they did this DC search
Jerry gave Schotty the keys to this and they kept their word on casting a wide net
Very interested in who will be on staff
Could a coach from Philly follow CP to Dallas or another coach they interviewed for DC join too? Whitecotton, Zach Orr and maybe Demarcus Covington come to mind
A
Cowboys need better talent. Hopefully they have a great deep draft.
Question: Do you think it would be a good idea about using our #12 and/or #20 pick to trade up or down first round picks with either #13 and (#29-32) (Rams), #16, (Jets), or #24 (Browns)? They both have 2 first round picks just like we do and that way we could either get a better player or acquire extra draft capital.
Wats his contract look like? Parker
A
Grade A hire
Can we get a update on why they passed on Zach Orr
It wont mattet if the dline cant get to the qb. This hire means no draft pics from the championship game.
Solid A as it breaks the tired old mode of hiring a retread former head coach for the last 30 years!
Sounds good we can only wait and see bunch of hype for nothing or something
It also leaves you open to drink and dunk passes…and of course the run game.
All the shit sounds good on the surface however, you need players.
Great hire but the Owner and GM can still F this up and that’s my concern!
Peewee Herman would be better thank last years Defensive coach
I think Parker will help our CB's a lot! Will be good to help develop Revel and possibly revive Bland's play as well.
Glad Dallas is finally doing different stuff instead of retreads. I'll hold off excitement until we see how the defense looks
people forget the cowboys have josh butler and caelen carson, 2 DB's who have been hurt but have demonstrated some talent!!!
Awesome Hawks D this season keeps it basic & create havoc + pressure QBs with 4 man rush,
& back 7 swarm the ball
Should’ve hired Al Harris
A
Bland should go back to nickel.
You can’t disguise lack of talent. Whether injuries or just poor talent. Can’t hide that. Dallas let go of Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence. What’s that? 70 % of pressures and sacks? And that exposes your injured and poor talented LB’s and CB’s etc…
Don't expect miracles. The defense will need at least 2 years to become average.
10 on excitement we need to make solid moves in FA
B+
Y
A+
The HC is tied to the DC so I know he did his homework and also gona give him the tolls to be the best he can be coaches need players play makers
I'm excited
Kenneth Murray better not be on the roster
Expect Parker to make all the tackles.
My excitement level is a 5 depending on what other defensive coaches come DL, LB, CB, passing game coordinator.
I think Parker will want Sam Williams resigned
B
Y
Put bland at nickel!
