Signed by Cowboys Mike Pettine to join Cowboys staff

Is he required to punch a time clock?

One of the worst coaches in Browns history - and they've had a lot of poor coaches.

Media reports suggest he was fired by the Packers for poor run defense - so an ideal fit here!!!

The same people here that were talking up Kris Richard are the same people that got caught up with Parker for Canton. The same crowd. No one was going to hire these guys. Richard is now a terrible DC in college. Parker is not a DC. This should surprise no one.

So CP was demoted to assistant DC?

No

 

[DuncanIso]

Humiliating for Parker.

It is.

 

[DuncanIso]

Eventually this man will call the defense. It's been a garbage show for 5 games now. Good move Jerry!!!!!

They probably send CP up to Monte Kiffins skybox soon.

After the season, he will quietly leave.

Shotty could go also.

MP will get a look at HC?

Adams could stay at OC.

anyone talking CP up this summer should bench themselves for say 3 weeks.

True. True.

How about the ones who talked up Leonard? I seem to remember you in favor of that one and a lot of other people.

 

[Redsfan_83]

So CP is moving up to the booth....I guess this is a start

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Where the Jim Leonhard fans at?

 

[Bullflop]

The Cowboys team is trying the addition of someone with experience to help them. Let's avoid the poison of pessimism and try being optimistic about it. it's far better than being a negative loser.

I have nothing more than a rudimentary awareness of Leonard. I don't recall saying anything but I'm sure if I did it wasn't anywhere near the level of praise that was being given to CP.

Found this clip of Mike Pettine explaining a 3-3-5 structure he used in Green Bay that can present as a 5-down front. This could be a solution for Dallas.

The Cowboys have been better against the run in their 3-4 base but have struggled against the run out of traditional 4-down nickel fronts.

The idea isn’t to run this every down. It’s for run-heavy situations where offenses use 11 personnel to force Dallas into nickel, then attack the lighter front.

You keep 5 DBs on the field but use 3 DTs inside and 2 OLBs on the edges, with just 1 traditional inside linebacker at the second level.

One edge would feature a traditional OLB like Rashan Gary or Malachi Lawrence. On the other, you could use a versatile hybrid LB with edge experience, like Barham or Liufau. Overshown would be your lone inside linebacker behind the front.

Essentially, you’re bringing the strengths of the 5 down front in your 3-4 base into nickel without sacrificing coverage personnel.

Hopefully Pettine can help incorporate this concept into Dallas. It could give them a way to defend the run without having to play more base and risk mismatches against spread offenses.

Good stuff! I encourage fans to check out this video.

If Reeves was, what do you think, Jerry gets his pound of flesh

 

[CoachD]

This is Jerry saying nope I don't believe in you guys so here's some help.

 

[dmq]

I preferred bringing Wink in.

 

[Creeper]

CP's replacement?

 

[KDM256]

Kudos for making adjustments but I am not going to get my hopes up until I see positive results on the field.
