Prior to working with the Eagles, Parker served as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive quality control coach from 2019-2020 and Denver Broncos’ defensive backs coach from 2021-23.<\/p>\n
Parker’s secondary has been a strength of the Eagles’ top-five scoring defense in both of his years there. Philadelphia ranked first in passing yards allowed in 2024 while giving up 22 touchdowns through the air, sixth-fewest in the NFL, and this past season finished eighth in passing yards allowed and first in passing TDs surrendered (14).<\/p>\n
That’s a stark difference from Dallas, which was the worst defense in the league in passing yards allowed and gave up a whopping 35 TD passes (31st) in 2025. The entire operation is in need of a face lift after finishing 32nd and 30th in points and yards allowed, respectively, which led to the firing<\/a> of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after one season.<\/p>\n Now, in comes Parker, an up-and-coming defensive mind stepping across the divisional aisle to right the wayward Cowboys defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prior to working with the Eagles, Parker served as the Green Bay Packers’ defensive quality control coach from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[9952,102,113,104,103,223,9953],"class_list":{"0":"post-134847","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-around-the-nfl","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dallas-cowboys","11":"tag-dallas-headlines","12":"tag-dallas-news","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-no-minute"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
