Cowboys could thrive under defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. But first, they must answer a major question about their best defender, Micah Parsons.
Mobile, Alaa – Dallas Cobwys took an important step to defend 2025 on Tuesday.
Another main puzzle is now looming.
like The former Chicago Pirz coach, Matt Erbfelos, has appointed her defense coordinatorThe privilege expects Eberflus to install a system that places an aggressive pressure from a defensive front.
The Hitch in this plan: The Dallas player, Micah Persons, is the option of the fifth and last year of his rising contract in a team that failed to sign the best stars on spring deals recently. At the reception device Cedee Lamb was made during the training camp last summer before receiving a dealThe crime of cowboy responded to a slow start for the season.
It was with continuity in the inner of the play and the offensive system.
Parsons and Cowboys are preparing to learn their third defensive system in three seasons, which may enhance the importance of the contract clarity on the unit.
Will Parsons sponsors extend sooner?
“I don’t think anyone has reduced the value of Micah in terms of what he can bring,” CEO Stephen Jones told Liho Sport on Tuesday. “Since the day he walked in the door, it was one of these [guys who] When it rolls, it is a problem for other men and their two. They got to know how they would go to it.
“I don’t want to enter the details [of] Early, late, when all comes. Very early for any of this, but it is clear that Mika is an important part of what we are. “
It may be too early for the team to continue to collect its defensive employees to develop a clear plan for players’ extensions. But cowboy road to Parsons extends can depend on two factors.
The first: Was Dallas ready to pay Parsons for money players in office, as some of his predecessors reset the market between decades of no quarter?
Second: Lamb waited last year to sign with Dallas until the resetting of Minnesota Vikings Justin Jefferson on the market. Can Parsons slow up a deal to extend the Pittsburgh Steps TJ Watt and Cleveland Browns do it with myless Garrett?
When the cow’s shepherds drafted Parsons 12 in 2021, they imagined that Parsons could go beyond the role of the inner back he played in Pennsylvania. The team owner and general manager Jerry Jones described Parsons’s potential that night as one of the “pressure, pressure and pressure”.
After four years of pressure on the rest of the league, Parsons now has an opportunity to pressure cowboy.
What Parsons offered beef, whose success may depend on him
When cowboy interviewed Eberflus this week, they asked about his vision of Persons, he told Jones Yahoo SPORTS.
“Everyone had their own idea of diversity [Parsons] Jones said, “He moves him because he wanders in the game when he rolls,” Jones said. “Entering it in positions in which it can be a favorable competition [when] Everyone will try to double three times. I mean, we saw everything with him and up to three players.
So if you can move it and then do not know the certainty where it will be, it may be useful to everyone for defense. … We are confident. [Eberflus] He will benefit from it and get the maximum benefit from it. “
More than the huge Parsons has proven during his upward contract.
In four seasons since Dallas drafted him in the twelfth place, Parsons took control of 52.5 bags, 112 Corterbok and 256 total treatments. He forced nine disappearances and recovered four, including one for landing.
Parsons ranked third this season in the scale of the winning rate in ESPN, winning 23 % of his impulsion.
His first four -year appearance compares positively to his counterparts who approach the extension line. Although its effect can be measured in different ways, Parsons’s profession has increased more quickly than any active player through some standards.
52.5 Parsons Bags by Four Seasons Edes Watt 49.5 and 42.5. Its pressure exceeded 177 watts 176 (with a small difference) and was 119.
Garrett Watt has handed over more bags over the past four years, but 25 -year -old Parsons may have more than 30 -year -old and 29 -year -old Garrett. Wat defended a defensive player in the year 2021, his fifth season; Garrett won in 2023, the seventh.
Jones said the Eberflus system will bring a 4-3 defensive front with philosophical similarities of the former defense coordinator system in Dallas Road Marinelli. It will search for “beyier” defensive processors to stop running, and the Jones category expected 2023 draft the first round of Mazi Smith to fill well. Cowboy will also look at the extension of free defensive treatment to Osa Odighizuwa, a local talent that Jones describes as a “priority” in the course of self -employment, pending the evaluation of Eberflus.
But Ethos Eberflus brings it to also describe Parsons playing style.
“High Energy,” said Jones. “Zero tolerated the lack of running to the ball and playing aggression and playing – a difficult term – but the violence plays. This is the place on which it is built.”
How is the defense of cowboy commensurate with the vision under the leadership of the new coach, Brian Shuttenheimer
The main training experience of the US Football Association may not be an official condition for the cow’s defense coordinator. But Dallas Defense coordinators have examined this square for more than a decade now. The last coach did not meet these standards is the 2013 defense coordinator Monte Kevin, who spent time as a main coach of North Carolina.
Considering that the plus attracted by cow’s shepherds to Eberflus. Ain Dallas Brian Shaottheimer is its coach on Friday eveningThe first coach’s position with more than two decades of the American Football Association experience. Shottenheimer and Jones said. So Dallas wanted a counterpart that could take the defensive logistics from the Shottheimer’s painting.
In Eberflus, which is known as the cowboy after their service in the training team from 2011 to 2017, they appointed a candidate with experience in the role and the organization.
Dallas love the intensity of Eberflus for the balance between the positive Schottenheimer. Statistically, Eberflus has coordinated three defenses of the 10 best defenses and five hasty defenses of the 10 best degrees since 2018.
Jones said that Cowboys look to stop the operation and create an operating game as decisive areas for improvement in 2025. With Schottenheimer, they are planning to employ an attack coordinator who will supervise the running and protection game.
The most reliable jogging game will support the best midfielder Dac Brickot as well as relieving pressure from the defense.
Jones said: “I think it is a must,” Jones said. “I think it is necessary to marry our running game to our pass game … [with] Discounts and things that operate the ball more efficiently, as some of these teams did in our league. Chti embraces all of this. “
The crime of cow shepherds will benefit from some continuity during the era of Chuthenheimer’s, who spent the past two seasons as an offensive coordinator under the leadership of playing coach Mike McCarthy.
Dallas’s defense will look forward to calming the tide as he moved from Dan Quinn in 2023 to Mike Zimmer in 2024 and now 2025.
Parsons’s participation will be decisive to succeed in this transition. It will help the cows that extend this participation.
“We had three systems and we understood that this is not the best – I will be the first to admit it,” Jones said. “But we also talked to Matt when we were meeting with how to make it not as painful as possible.
“Shtie will really rely on Matt to do the heavy lifting on the defensive side.”
