A new defensive blitz

Dallas has a unique opportunity to use Parsons and Diggs in combination. All by himself, Parsons is a wrecking ball. Offenses need to account for him at all times, and make sure that he is adequately blocked. Diggs will eventually be treated as a shutdown corner, who needs to be avoided , and can take away almost half the defensive backfield in terms of targets. As long as Diggs and Parsons line up on the same side, (Diggs will likely be tracking the offenses' top receiver), a Parsons blitz will dictate that the QB throws into the blitz, right? Well, Diggs is waiting. If the QB realizes it, and double clutches, Parsons will likely get a sack. Overload a blitz including Parsons on Diggs side, and that could be devastating.

As for the other side of the defense, players "stay home" and even put an extra defender opposite Parsons and Diggs, to stifle any ideas of running away from the strength of our most talented players.

So, offenses are faced with a choice, gain yards vs our greatest talents, or grind out yards against the overloaded side. Good luck!

Urban and Cox get blown off the line of scrimmage but lots of effort to quickly track ball and jump the pile.

I love the hustle and gang tackling mentality permeating entire defense.

But Cowboys need a legit block of granite at 1 tech.

Kinda surprised Parsons didn't make the tackle there in the backfield.
