Twitter: Schotty on S Donovan Wilson and S Malik Hooker & their role on the improved Dallas defense

Brian Schottenheimer on S Donovan Wilson and S Malik Hooker & their role on the improved Dallas Defense since their return: "Huge. Their communication has been huge." Said their return gets overlooked because of the additions of Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams, but "Flus calls the play to K9 and Logan, but the guys making the adjustments are the safeties. {They're} Loud, confident, making their calls and putting everybody in the right spots." #DallasCowboys

I get what Schotty is saying, but Wilson and Hooker were back there early in the season too and the communication was a mess.

The entire defense is more comfortable in Eberflus' scheme now and I think that is the biggest difference.

The secondary was being punished in Eberflub’s scheme before the deadline because our DL was sucking. His scheme relies on the DT’s getting pressure which we weren’t getting then.

I don't overlook it, but the talent upgrade is hard to overlook also. Perhaps we have learned the lesson with the upgrade in talent at the 3-tech and we will now invest earlier resources in the safety position. How great would it be to add another Darren Woodson to this defense.

Makes you wonder if they are playing better because communication on the line and linebacker group is better. Haven’t seen anyone lost these days.

Hooker has his shaky moments but he's a solid and versatile S. I still dont trust Wilson.

Hooker has seemed to be a positive difference maker for us since he returned to the lineup. I hope that trend continues.

They were terrible the first half of the year.

The DT and LB play has improved a bunch which directly helps the safeties, especially the FS.
