Free agent safety Kavon Frazier talks Cowboys and more

...More on Richard
Iloka circled back to get more details on Richard, who was of course coaching during his own brief tenure in Dallas. In particular, the subject of Richard’s reputation as something of a “DB whisperer” during his time with the Legion of Boom in Seattle was brought up. Frazier said it didn’t materialize that he could see. He said Richard started off strong when he arrived in 2018, but things declined quickly. The biggest problem he believed was how Richard was so very detail focused. He introduced a lot of new tweaks and reads that had to be done right or things broke down. There didn’t seem to be enough teaching or perhaps time to do so for it to come together. Frazier also brought up how Richard relied almost exclusively on Cover 3 and man, when in his first two years the defense had also used a lot of Cover 2 and 4. For those who remember that far back, it was reminiscent of how the very complicated Rob Ryan defense keep coming apart back when he was the DC. Although he wasn’t as sure about this, he also thought that Richard may have had his hand forced in some ways by Garrett or even the ownership in some decisions...
...Can the Cowboys be a contender?
From the perspective of the talent on the roster, Frazier firmly believes so, especially if they do well in the draft. He is a fan of the free agency signings, particularly the defensive linemen and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Frazier also saw the talent during all four of his years for the team to have made deep playoff runs. Prescott was again discussed as the real engine of the team. Frazier praised his ability to rebound from a mistake, and said that in four years he never saw him “shook.” There was an implication that the failings originated with the coaching staff...

Standing up for Amari
Many of us are mystified by the criticism of Amari Cooper, and Frazier is, too. He lined up against him in practice, after all, and said he is one of the elite route runners in the league. Frazier described him as almost impossible to cover, especially out of the slot, and said he is at least top two league wide in getting separation.
