‘Position Flex’ Is Driving Force Behind Dallas Cowboys Success

Another NFL draft passed by, and the resurgent Dallas Cowboys continue to follow their new, disciplined model of success.

Long gone are the days of playing 17 different defensive linemen in one season. Gutted by injuries in 2013, this mad shuffling tactic is exactly what Dallas resorted to.

Nevermore will the starting center go down in the very first series, and Dallas replaces him with a player they desperately just traded for.

In 2012, center Phil Costa was having back issues in training camp. For protection, one week before the season Dallas traded with Miami for back-up center Ryan Cook.
