Tom Orsborn, of the San Antonio Express-News, reports one of the biggest concerns about the Dallas Cowboys' change from a 4-3 defensive scheme to a 3-4 alignment is that LB Dat Nguyen, at 5-11 and 238 pounds, is too small to be successful in the scheme. The 3-4 scheme calls for inside linebackers to take on guards. To make it easier on Nguyen, Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells moved him to the weak-side linebacker position rather than the strong-side spot. The weak-side position, called the "Jack" by the coaching staff, lines up on the side away from the tight end. "The 'Jack' in the 3-4 has historically been the highest tackle-producing position," said Parcells. "Dat's got range. He's a good tackler."

You put yourself in their shoes and you commend those guys. We're here dodging offensive linemen and they're dodging bullets. We appreciate what they do and we just want to say thank you."
