Like the offense a year ago, Cowboys in need of defensive changes this year

The NFL is a constantly evolving league, and as the schemes on both sides of the ball change, so too must each team adapt their own schemes to keep up. A year ago, the Cowboys came to the conclusion that their offense needed a change, which is why Kellen Moore left for the Chargers and Mike McCarthy took control of calling offensive plays.

That decision very clearly worked out. The Cowboys improved in nearly every offensive category, with career years from both Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb while also witnessing the emergence of Jake Ferguson. It’s a big reason why the Cowboys would be foolish to move on from McCarthy at this juncture, as the head coach is a big part of figuring out how to best maximize all this talent on offense.
