New Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is already making a big impact on the team, and his play-calling style is blowing away the players.
The Dallas Cowboys defense made a big impact in the team's NFL preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday evening. Unfortunately, the team came away with a loss, but they gave fans a lot to get excited about.
Dallas' defense, led by new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, picked off Stetson Bennett four times. Markquese Bell, Julius Wood, Brock Mogensen, and Eric Scott Jr. all came away with interceptions during the game, but it's Zimmer's play-calling style that really blew people away.Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown spoke about how Zimmer was calling plays on the sideline without looking at a play sheet.
DeMarvion Overshown said one thing that really blew his mind was, when he was on the sideline, the number of times Mike Zimmer wouldn't look at his play sheet at all — calling the plays based upon what he saw in real-time. Hopefully the Cowboys can close out games in the future, but for now, the defense is on the right trajectory and looks poised to give opposing offense's problems throughout the season.
