The Dallas Cowboys linebacker room is eager for their Week 1 matchup.
“Coach Zim would just say, ‘Cut it loose. Let me do the thinking. Just go out there and have fun,” Liufau said of Zimmer’s message to the young linebackers and other defensive players.
This is a message that materialized often on the field in Oxnard and in the preseason, seeing how fast and free the linebackers were playing on any given rep.
It also works in Zimmer’s and the Cowboys’ favor that their top four linebackers aren’t easily shaken by hostile environments such as the one that’ll greet them at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
