Mike Zimmer is focused on getting the most out of uber-talented edge rusher Micah Parsons. Here's how the new Dallas DC plans to do it.
OXNARD, Calif. — After a two-year absence from the NFL, Mike Zimmer has resurfaced as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator. He had been head coach of the Minnesota Vikings for eight seasons before being fired after the 2021 season. Zimmer, who previously served as the Dallas DC from 2000 to 2006, seems pleased to be back in his element.
'Wherever he is, you find him, and you slide to him,' Rams coach Sean McVay said. 'We didn't game plan. We didn't know. But I thought they did a really good job of having him in a variety of spots. It's a good test. 'DeMarcus Lawrence is an excellent player, and they have some good players on the interior. They have excellent players on the second and third level.
