The Dallas Cowboys are banking on Christian Parker to lead their defensive resurgence, but he can also be an ******* et for Dak Prescott as well. Parker's experience in defenses that have been a thorn in Prescott's career allows him to show Prescott insight on how to beat them. If Prescott can learn how to beat Parker's defense, it increases the odds of him beating heavily disguised defenses like the Eagles, Vic Fangio, and the Broncos Vance Joseph.
While Prescott and Parker work things out, unfortunately, the team will have to move forward without special teams ace C.J. Goodwin, who officially retired today. Goodwin was one of the most reliable players the Cowboys had on special teams; now they'll need to find the next Goodwin to lead their special teams. Whoever they find or decide to step up will have some big shoes to fill.
