Cowboys Coach Responds to Trevon Diggs as CB Doubles Down on Demand to Brian Schottenheimer

The Dallas Cowboys are facing an internal crisis as Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer and Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus aggressively shut down star CB Trevon Diggs’s public complaints about the defensive scheme. Well, it is to everyone’s information that the team has been struggling with its defense for the first five weeks of this season, but some changes are definitely on the way.

Diggs ignited the conflict by praising the team’s quick pass rush as “instant grits” after the Week 5 win over the Jets, subtly suggesting the defense is only effective when simplified. He also admitted to advocating directly to Eberflus for more man coverage over the current zone preference.

However, this is how the coaches have made their response. As per an X post by Jeff Kolb, it stated the response by the team’s defense coordinator, Matt Eberflus, “We’re going to make decisions based on what we feel is best. Based on the matchups. Based on what we have. And I don’t like grits, either.”
