Dallas CBs comfortable man to man

Last year the Cowboys played mostly zone coverage. But this year with the defense's ability to create pressure up front and with better players like Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick, they will play more man to man.
"I love man," said Adam Jones. "I wouldn't mind playing man to man on every play."
This year Dallas has the players to play both zone and man to man and it gives them a great opportunity to give opposing offenses a hard time.
Cornerback isn't an easy position to play. It takes good footwork, hand-eye coordination, and speed.
A little swagger doesn't hurt either.

Man-to-man is a zone of comfort for Dallas Cowboys' corners | Dallas Cowboys News | Sports News | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas

I know for sure Dallas has enough swagger in Adam. Here is hoping they all have the rest of the necessary qualities also.

Re: Dallas CBs comfortable man to man

I always found that man-to-man could be a more effective defense with the right CBs. However if the CB isn't capable then the reciever will have a field day. So if the Dallas can hold up on man-to-man (which I believe it can) then they should have a nice defensive season.
