Overview
- Head coach Brian Schottenheimer vowed schematic and personnel changes this week and said “bigger changes” to the team’s style will be installed during the Week 10 bye.
- Through eight games the defense ranks 31st in points and yards allowed and has yielded 6.2 yards per play, with Denver piling up 426 yards, 179 rushing yards and zero sacks allowed.
- Owner/GM Jerry Jones said the team is not “one player away” on defense and told 105.3 The Fan there isn’t a trade he would do right now, though he maintained all options are being considered.
- Reporting indicates Dallas has explored deals and had inquiries for top edge rushers like Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson rejected, leaving further evaluations to the days before the Nov. 4 deadline.
- Dak Prescott called the team’s identity inconsistent and urged players to look inward and “forget a trade,” as Dallas hosts the Cardinals on Monday before the bye.
