If were King of the Cowboys, here's what I would do.

1) I flip Collins and Green. The issue with flipping them is if Green is hurt, I am not sure I like Bell at RT. But, honestly, I take that chance at this point.

2) Heath goes back to dime DB. Woods and Jones start at the safety spots (honestly, I'd like to move Jones to slot CB but we have no options at FS at this point).

3) I don't want to expose Prescott to more hits, but at this point, with teams crashing down on Elliott, I would run more read option. If they can't get Prescott to attack down the field when they bring run pressure, then the next best thing is some read option. DEs and OLBs are crashing down on Elliott it seems quite often.

4) You have to play more man. I know they wanted to play more zone but it's clearly not working like they had hoped. So go back to playing more man.

I also would also start putting feelers out for a new DC, at least. I think a change has to come this year.

Sometimes I think an entire new coaching staff is needed.
Catch keep patching a flat tire forever.

I am not for or against Garrett and his staff, usually more for them. But so far this year, been getting more against them. I am sure I may go back and forth as the wins and losses go (as most fans do). But if things do not turn around, or if we do make the playoffs, and are one and done again, then yes, need that complete change.

Definitely agree with #4.
#1 I agree with as well, but Jerry has hyped up Collins as Erik 2.0, so I doubt it'll actually happen this year.
Heath needs to go back to spot duty.

History will tell you we are on course for an 8-8 season (or worse).
