\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing,\u201d Durant said. \u201cJust getting a chance to come to Dallas and add to the secondary, a room full of playmakers, and just bring what I know in being in this league for four years to add on with DaRon Bland and everybody else in that room. Just to come in and make plays.\u201d<\/p>\n
Durant, 28, met Friday with the Cowboys\u2019 new defensive staff, including defensive coordinator Christan Parker, defensive pass game coordinator\/DBs coach Derrick Ansley and secondary coach Ryan Smith.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat guys, great coaches,\u201d Durant said of the meeting. \u201cI\u2019m ready to attack this game and allow them to help me improve, and push them to push me.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his four seasons with the Rams, Durant lined up both inside and outside as a cornerback. With the Cowboys, he\u2019s open to playing wherever Parker and the coaching staff feel he can flourish.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody knows, [Smith] knows, [Ansley] knows, [Parker] knows that I play both inside and out,\u201d Durant said. \u201cWherever I can contribute to the team and commit those turnovers and get the ball back to Dak [Prescott]. Whether that\u2019s inside, outside, boundary, field, it doesn\u2019t matter. \u2018The Landshark\u2019s\u2019 just coming to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
[\u2026]<\/p>\n
\u201cJust create takeaways and get the ball back to Dak. Let Dak do what he do. I\u2019m excited for it. Like I said, got great guys in that secondary and I\u2019m just here to add on\u2026 They\u2019re getting a guy that the media says is too small. But you know, it ain\u2019t all about the size of the dog, it\u2019s the size of the heart in the dog. \u2018The Landshark\u2019s\u2019 coming to make plays and add on to this defense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing,\u201d Durant said. \u201cJust getting a chance to come to Dallas and add to the secondary,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813390,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2066],"tags":[230,229,257,436,2461,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-813389","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas-cowboys","8":"tag-cowboys","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dallas-cowboys","11":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","12":"tag-dallascowboys","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116232131032718706","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
