OXNARD, Calif. -- These Cowboys cornerbacks are no longer back on their heels away from the line of scrimmage. They've bought into new defensive backs coach Kris Richard's in-your-face style.
Richard made it clear this offseason: As soon as his cornerbacks and safeties buy into what he's teaching them, the production should be there.
Nine practices into training camp, that's been evident.
The cornerbacks have been aggressive at the line of scrimmage with their press coverage, giving the Cowboys' new-look receiving corps fits.
In previous seasons under defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, the cornerbacks didn't deflect many passes.
