DMN Blog: Capers Not Coming

[khiladi]

So how do you feel about all his D assistants from Houston being in control of the Cowboys defense?


Stewart, Grantham, Herring. All were position coaches with the Texans.

I have read that Grantham likes to attack upfront, and he specializes in improving pressure on the QB. When Herring was LB coach of Houston in 2002, Spencer and Sharper combined for 15 tackles for losses, while Bradie and AKin combined for a whopping 3. Again, your talking about LBs getting into the backfield successfully. Maxie seems to increase interceptions, so Dallas may be looking for a coach that is more suited to the style of Wade, i.e. being aggressive to the ball. All last year, there was talk by Stewart about how his CBs are positioned to jump routes.

These coaches, while people may think that they are not Wade's decision, are simply fooling themselves. This defense is looking to be way more aggressive getting to the QB and creating turnovers. The pieces of the puzzle, at least to me, fit naturally for Wade

In fact, that may be why they brought in Capers in the first place. They simply wanted to get information on the coaches he worked with.
