Dan Quinn's tenure as defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys saw success in pass defense but struggled against the run. New defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer aims to enhance the run defense by improving the team's interior line.
The Cowboys added veterans Jordan Phillips and Linval Joseph to bolster their run-stopping ability. Their experience is expected to complement the talents of young players like Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa, creating a more formidable defensive line.
Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic about these new additions and their potential impact on the season ahead, particularly as the team prepares for a pivotal 2024.
