## Resource

Christian Parker’s new defensive scheme is causing confusion — but don’t panic, Malik Hooker’s not going anywhere. Far from being phased out, Hooker’s deep safety skills are perfect for Parker’s single-high look, which dominates most of the playbook. With new signings like Jalen Thompson and Caleb Downs, the Cowboys may rotate formations, but Hooker remains vital — especially in nickel packages where three safeties often line up. Expect a tweaked role, not a departure. Training camp will reveal the real plan — and Hooker might just surprise everyone.
