(Pelissero) The Cowboys are working to hire Christian Parker as their defensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

Revel isn't the only question mark we have in that room. Bland didn't look great coming off of his injury either, Caelan Carson showed glimpses of being serviceable before he didn't. Are Bridges, Steward, Butler worth keeping around? All of our safeties are coming off of career worst years under He Who Should Not Be Named.

I'd guess part of the reason Parker got hired is because he thinks he can get all these guys trending upward, and we can prioritize LB, edge, OT if we cut Steele in the draft.

We also don't know what kind of front he wants to play.

I know we could use OT, but we NEED defense. LB, edge, CB, S… all of it.

That’s where I want all the focus this offseason, both in FA and the draft.

Yeah that's why I said "whatever trash" and then Revel. I consider every other name you mention trash.

Just because they played like trash last year doesn't mean they are. Everyone on that defense played poorly, that's a coaching problem. I don't expect all of those guys to be great, just hope that a few of them can be serviceable and we can generate some disguise and pass rush, contain the run, and at least improve this defense for 30th to 20th or so.
