## Resource

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker digs into their tough loss to the Giants, admitting play-calling may have been too complex for the team’s first road game — where they surrendered nearly 400 yards and lost by eight points. While mental errors, technique slips, and execution gaps were key issues, players believe fixes are within reach, focusing on fundamentals like leverage and vision. Parker takes accountability for the “menu” of plays, especially struggling in critical situations like third downs and the red zone. This week’s practice emphasizes communication and self-scouting amid injuries to key defenders DeMarvion Overshown and Malik Hooker. They’re now turning focus to Sunday’s home opener against Washington at 3:25 PM CT. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
