    Confidence level in Mike Zimmer as Cowboys DC? Scale it: 1-10
  • @joediskin6612
    The more i look at Zimmers style the more i feel confident in not only his integrity but his angle on improving our consistency.
  • I think Zimmer brings a lot more stability to the defense which is what we might need
  • @9quedog
    We're going to have 4 chances next year to play, who's better. The ones you had or the ones you have. Washington and Philly games going to make someone look foolish. Hopefuuly, it's Quinn and Moore.
  • @drive2siva
    We really need LB’s that stuff the run and mazi to bulk up and continue his Michigan responsibility and a strong center
  • Only way we can run 3-4 is add 4 linebackers! We have 1 lb who plays defense end.
  • Conference in Zim is 8 but it may take time. Is Jerry going to give him the players needed to accomplish a great defense
  • @rv3358
    This defense needs to be checked and called out. That’s what I’m most excited for. It’s the NFL if you don’t like a hard coach then they can walk
  • @favored777
    My confidence level for Zommer is a 7/8. My concern is do he have the players to do what he's best at. We're still in need of interior DL and MLB.
  • @Majik88
    Micha is going back to LB for sure
  • @BO55N355
    God man looking at the personnel in the Viks pick makes me wonder if it's going to work for us lol
  • @dsbeats5657
    Honestly, if we are running a man match scheme don’t be surprised if Cooper Dejean it’s a pic of ours he would be a perfect safety for that scheme because they asked her safety to match and pretty much man up receivers going vertical and usually most defensive coordinators, like getting former slot corners guys that are used to turning their hips and playing coverage and he can play outside ,slot ,safety everything, and honestly having good safeties for the scheme matters more than having good corners obviously if we normal man coverage, then, yeah, having good corners matters which we do have but this scheme having good safeties I know the principles are key or a free agent option would be Jordan Fuller from the Rams. He’s used to the scheme if he’s not resigned by them, I would think he would be a great option to go after
  • Me if I was the football player and I play for the Dallas Cowboys. I'm a person who played football in high school and almost made it to college to the point that every coach that coach me. I was used to them coaching me hard so I'm. a person who would love to be coached by Mike Zimmer because. I know he will Coach me hard. I'm a person who do not like soft coaches and soft football players .
  • @CgwWilson
    You are speculating, have to wait and see what happens, my friend,
  • @deancloud1327
    His discipline will be contagious. Other coaches and players will be held accountable and will feel the urgency to bring their A game.
  • @CowboysTV
    Who will have more success? Type ‘MZ’ for Mike Zimmer or ‘DQ’ for Dan Quinn
  • @nathanb.8866
    HE HAS TO GET LB GET L DAVID IN FA AND DRAFT EDGERRIN COOPER OR TROTTER JR
