The Dallas Cowboys have gone from one of the better special teams units a few years ago to one of the worsts groups in the league. The biggest smoking gun for the sudden drop off in performance comes from the departure of former special teams coach Rich Bisaccia who left to coach the Raiders and then the very inexperienced hire of Keith O’Quinn. The changeover has not produced favorable results.
