FRISCO, Texas — When the Dallas Cowboys defense left practice on Sunday, coordinator Dan Quinn felt it.
The energy. The relentlessness. The “want to,” he says, “to get going.”
The defense Quinn is turning around needed very few corrections in their final session of game preparation. Confidence brimmed across each level of the unit.
“I knew we were in a good headspace,” Quinn said. “The shift was going to take place for us to play really fast.”
After a 41-21 burying of the Philadelphia Eagles, Cowboys fans were in a good headspace as well. The Eagles had scored a touchdown on defense and another with minutes left in the game. Put another way: the Dallas defense allowed just seven points in 56 minutes of play.
But Quinn sees the holes. Before the 3-0 Panthers arrive on Sunday, he hopes to shore up them.
“We still have a ways to go from the communication standpoint I’d like to see us get to,” Quinn said Tuesday at team headquarters. “We can play faster in terms of what your key is. We’re still giving up too many big plays for our liking.
“There is a lot to do, but that’s also kind of the fun part of this: to see guys go and see where we’re going.”
