Adaptation is sincerest form of flattening offense’s pulse for Cowboys’ Dan Quinn

The Dallas Cowboys defense is changing, not just from earlier in the year, but within games. @DailyGoonerRaf breaks down how Quinn adjusted to Vikings’ attack in Week 8.

Speed Kills.

It’s a time honored football maxim. In today’s game, speed of adaptation kills. Those clubs whose coordinators can quickly decipher what their opposition is doing to nullify their own game plan, then make changes, often wins.

We’ve analyzed the speed with which Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore can act, game to game and even series to series.  Today, we’re going to look at a small change that defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his line coach Aden Durde made in the second half of Sunday Night’s win against the Vikings, and how it collared a Vikings offense that was threatening to pull away from the Cooper Rush-led Dallas attack.
