""there's always reasons to change, and there will be change," he said Monday following a 44-24 loss in Denver. "I can promise you that. I can show you that. We've already had meetings, and we've talked about those changes. We're in the mode right now of where we've got kind of a one-game season.""
"The personnel is also the issue, not just Matt Eberflus, but the fact that he is trying to play zone 95% of downs and only rush 4 when you don't have the guys to do that blows my mind. I would much rather see this defense get shredded, playing man coverage and trying to get pressure on the QB, make him make a good play, but instead the guys sit back there and can read a book before they have to complete a pass and that is why dudes are running wide open."

Dallas lost 44-24 in Denver and coach Brian Schottenheimer promised changes and a one-game-at-a-time approach. The defense ranks 31st in points allowed and yards surrendered through eight games and allows 6.2 yards per play, tied for 32nd. The unit has given up 250 points and 3,200 yards in eight games, one of only 15 teams to do so. Criticism centers on personnel and a heavy reliance on zone coverage with four-man rushes despite lacking pass-rushing talent. Observers call for more man coverage and increased pressure to prevent receivers from sitting open.
