Breaking down the coverage schemes of Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn

The Cowboys entered the 2020 season with a lot of question marks in their secondary and ended the year with about as many question marks. Rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs and second-year safety Donovan Wilson stood out, but there wasn’t much else of note for the Cowboys’ defensive passing game. It’s part of the reason why newly hired defensive coordinator Dan Quinn brought in Joe Whitt Jr. to be his defensive passing game coordinator, a role he held for Quinn’s Falcons just last year.

Between Quinn and Whitt, the Cowboys will be switching back to a more simple form of coverage than the complex schemes Mike Nolan ran in 2020.
