Dallas Cowboys prepare defensive adjustments for Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for their Week 1 matchup against the New York Giants with key defensive adjustments. Edge rusher Rashan Gary, acquired from the Green Bay Packers, is expected to play a significant role in the pass rush. Analysts suggest Gary may have a tactical advantage against a Giants offensive line that features several injuries and inexperienced players.

On the defensive side, the Cowboys are refining their communication structure. While the team plans to use multiple players to handle the ‘green dot’ role—the player responsible for communicating formations and assignments to the coordinator—third-year starter DeMarvion Overshown is expected to perform the majority of the ‘heavy lifting’ at the Mike linebacker position.
