""You can't come off a game like [the loss to the Broncos] and not expect there to be changes," he said. "And there will be changes, I can promise you that. "We've already had some of those meetings, and we talked about those changes." But Schottenheimer wasn't talking about changes associated with Tuesday's trade deadline. It was more about fixing the problem of yielding the second-most yards (404.6 per game) and points (31.3) in the NFL with the players already on the roster."
"If the Cowboys fall short of the playoffs for the second year in a row, the August trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers will loom as a major reason. But considering how the Cowboys played with Parsons aboard last season, would that be fair? "You know, we're in the mode right now of we've got kind of a one-game season," Schottenheimer said of Monday's game."
Brian Schottenheimer said changes will be made after the blowout loss to the Denver Broncos, and meetings about changes have already occurred. The Cowboys defense is allowing the second-most yards (404.6) and points (31.3) per game in the NFL. Help from within is expected as key players return from injury. ESPN's Football Power Index gave Dallas (3-4-1) an 18% chance of reaching the playoffs entering Week 9, making Monday's game against the Arizona Cardinals critical. The August trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers could be cited if the team misses the playoffs again. Schottenheimer emphasized a one-game-at-a-time mindset with a bye coming next week.
