With two weeks of practices and SF on horizon, I would make these changes going forward. Again, we are talking about Defense that needs to be protected so I am not concerned with ruffling any feathers.

1. Woods at least split snaps with Heath. Ideally he would replace Heath but I see Dallas being conservative here because they like Heath.
2. Move Anthony Brown to slot. He just looks natural, fluid and aggressive at that position. Not that he has been horrible at CB, I just think his quickness is on display in slot.
3. Jourdan Lewis stays starting CB.
4. Move Byron Jones to other starting CB spot. Now have Brown, Lewis & Jones as CBs. I like that alot.
5. Awuzie is safety starter next to Woods/Heath.
6. Still not sure what to do with Scandrick. Has lost quickness and seems content to just tackle WR after catch and no longer competes for the ball. Maybe he is extra DB in dime situations.
7. Nolan Carroll is my inactive DB each week unless there is injury.

Dallas has nothing to lose by trying this. Defense has been achilles for years.

I've been waiting for this thread. I would def make changes.

Chido and Lewis as starting corners. Scandic 3rd/ slot, Brown 4th

Jones and Woods as safeties.

Replace Jaylon effective immediately.

Dez and Butler as the starting Wr's

Witten is the only liability left

theres no way
none
that you will bench Scandrick.
hes way more valuable than you realize to the Cowboys if you think they bench him
i like the rookies as well but the Scandrick thing wont happen
now possibly you can get less and less Heath but barring injury this year it stays the same for Scandrick

It’s apparent we must make changes on the defense. It is costing us.

Looks good on parer but expect more of the same. You know, square peg......round hole type of stuff.

I'd start Woods at safety, yeah.

Awuzie is going to be a good corner, and I want him concentrating on that. Just like Lewis.

Lewis starts.

Scandrick is slot guy.

Awuzie, Lewis, Scandrick starting 3. Woods at safety.

Brown is the odd man out. But you can only start 3, and I think Awuzie has more talent.

I do not see them starting 2 rookies at corner.

Scandrick, Lewis and Brown will be the 3 IMO.

Also, please can we get Beasley more involved, his snap count kinda sucked this Sunday.

I like the changes for the long haul but that's a lot of rookies in the backfield.
