Cowboys news: Dan Quinn will be looking to perform a defensive makeover this offseason

One short offseason for Dan Quinn to work some magic.

Quinn wants to instill a ballhawking mentality. The base packages will have more of a 3-4 look, but, as he points out, most defenses are now in the nickel 60 to 70 percent of the game.

One size does not fit all, but it’s clear from this draft that Quinn cherishes length. He wants a diverse group.

“You want to have enough different players that you’re versatile enough to adapt to any offensive scheme,’’ Quinn said. “Whatever size or style team you’re playing against, you want to be versatile enough to be able to say, ‘All right, this is how we’re going to match up and get it on.
