Cowboys' Schottenheimer Self-Scouts Offseason With Good News 'Fingerprints' Review

The winds of change have blown through The Star this offseason, both on and off the field, and Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is at the center of it all.

Having carefully picked the players and coaching staff with the help of the front office, Schotty has gotten things off to a positive start both on and off the field.

With OTAs and minicamp completed, the early portion of the offseason program, where the scheme and system are put in place, is crucial. What is even more important is that the players understand it and are able to execute it.

Why? So when training camp rolls around, as Schotty says, "it's go time."

“I think getting the system in place in all three of those phases is really important,” Schottenheimer said. “I love where we're at right now offensively, in terms of the changes and the adjustments that we're going to do. Defensively, I love what Flus [Matt Eberflus] has brought from a mentality and a mindset. 

"Of course, with Nick [Sorensen] and Carlos [Polk] with the special teams, just really with the three pieces coming back, Trent [Sieg], Banger [Bryan Anger], and Brandon [Aubrey], seeing him put his fingerprint on that has been really exciting.”
