Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer took accountability after the unit allowed 44 points and 432 yards in a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
"You know what, really most of the guys I didn't coach up good enough," he said. "It really isn't one spot. There were some things that we didn't do well. We ran under some blocks. We had some perimeter-run force issues. But that's me."
Cowboys edge-rusher Micah Parsons was equally candid when discussing the game on The Edge. He said "the effort was not there" from the defense and saw a clear contrast from Week 1, when Dallas got two interceptions and held the Cleveland Browns in check in a 33-17 win.
