Dallas Cowboys’ Maxx Crosby Pursuit Takes Fresh Turn 10 Days Before Deadline

3 things Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer can carry into week 8
Brian Schottenheimer can lean on three positives as the Cowboys head into Week 8 against Arizona. First, Dallas finally embraced a creative ground attack in a 38‑21 win over the Eagles, using pin pulls, traps and misdirection—a formula that could exploit the Cardinals’ middling rush defense (6th in EPA/play, 20th in success). Second, the offense showed newfound down‑field aggression, generating big passing plays against a secondary that ranks near the bottom in drop‑back EPA and success. Third, tight end Brevyn Spann‑Ford’s expanded role after his contract extension adds blocking strength and versatile looks in 11‑ and 12‑personnel, opening up both run and pass options.
