OXNARD, Calif. -- There will be a sudden change to the Cowboys' special teams units when the 2013 regular season starts.
New special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia wants to use more starters on the units.
In the first three days of training camp practices, starting cornerbacks
Brandon Carr and
Morris Claiborne were on kickoff coverage. Starting safeties
Barry Church and
Will Allen, along with starting linebackers
Bruce Carter and
Justin Durant, were on other units. Slot corner
Orlando Scandrick, who played special teams last year, and backup defensive tackle
Sean Lissemore were on punt cover units.
"We expect guys to know what to do," Bisaccia said. "We put a system in and they're going to learn how to play. We dress 46 guys on game day and everybody can play, except the quarterback. We're just trying to figure out who we're using in general."
