CLEVELAND -- Nobody on the Dallas Cowboys' defense knows what a Mike Zimmer defense is supposed to look like more than linebacker Eric Kendricks.
Kendricks spent the first seven years of his career with the Minnesota Vikings when Zimmer was the head coach and defensive playcaller. When the Cowboys signed the veteran to a free agent deal this offseason -- stealing him away from the San Francisco 49ers -- it was so he could help the rest of the players understand what Zimmer wanted.
In Game 1, it looked exactly how it is supposed to look in 33-17 win against the Cleveland Browns.
