David Moore w/ Norm Hitzges on The Ticket today -
- There's a lack of defensive "expertise" in the front office and scouting department
- Ownership/franchise culture is offensive-centric. (Cowboys have not resigned a 1st rd pick on defense since Demarcus Ware)
- Scouts lean towards offensive players to satisfy the owner
- The last two Cowboys head coaches were offensive-minded
- This dynamic leads to a situation where the franchise leans on the defensive coordinator excessively regarding personnel decisions
- They always view the next defensive coordinator as their "savior". Meanwhile, in Baltimore, a new DC is expected to contribute to established defensive culture.
- When the DC is fired or goes elsewhere (Norm mentioned Quinn leaving for another HC job if he turns this thing around), the franchise has to start from scratch because there's no foundational defensive system in place here in Dallas
- Mentioned how now they're throwing numbers at the problem in hopes that competition will fix the problem (no real plan)
