The Dallas Cowboys head coach sparked an unexpected conversation by not saying much following his team\u2019s 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. <\/p>\n

For better or worse, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is a talkative guy. Which is why Monday\u2019s postgame press conference shocked reporters who talk to him on the regular. <\/p>\n

Following the Cowboys\u2019 38-21 win<\/a> over the Philadelphia Eagles, Schottenheimer kept his answers to the minimum. All in all, the press conference<\/a> lasted four minutes. Each of his postgame press conferences this season had lasted over ten minutes. Even in Rio de Janeiro, after a long trip and after a painful loss, Schottenheimer went for 14 minutes. <\/p>\n

On Monday, most of his answers were more generic than usual. Asked about his thoughts on the play of his players he kept it to one word: \u201cOutstanding.\u201d <\/p>\n

Asked about the offense, he said: \u201cThey were good. Solid. Good balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

About the locker room: \u201cGuys were excited. It\u2019s been a couple weeks coming. But we\u2019re ready for Arizona, we play here in a couple of days.\u201d <\/p>\n

The shift was so evident that the presser ended in the Cowboys head coach being asked if he was okay, to which he responded: \u201cI\u2019m great. Excited for our guys.\u201d <\/p>\n

Is the Cowboys HC shaking things up? <\/p>\n

Listen, I\u2019m not sure where the change is coming from but I don\u2019t mind it one bit. After all, the Cowboys need to shake things up. And Schottenheimer\u2019s talking in press conferences have led to plenty of maybe unnecessary talking points. <\/p>\n

Schottenheimer often describes himself as someone with great people skills. And it\u2019s great that he uses it as head coach of an NFL team. But for a Cowboys franchise often blamed of being too circus-y, it would be a refreshing take on things if Schottenheimer becomes all business in pressers. <\/p>\n

QB Dak Prescott said in his own presser<\/a> that he did see an angrier version of Schottenheimer during the week. <\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely a hungry, pissed off version of Schotty,\u201d Dak said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like he\u2019s na\u00efve, it\u2019s not like he hasn\u2019t heard some noise about him, whether it\u2019s calling the games or whatever doubt that\u2019s been out there. But we\u2019ve got his back, he knows that.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that being said, if that is the case, hopefully it comes from a genuine place. Overcorrections rarely get you anywhere on this league. The same goes for if this is a case of him simply being upset at the media\u2019s discourse around him in recent weeks. That would come off as soft, considering his team got off to an underachieving 2-4 start. <\/p>\n

Time will tell what this is all about. But for now, I can appreciate a head coach trying to get his team locked in for what could be a season-defining stretch of games. At 3-4, the Cowboys need to figure out if they\u2019ll be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline set for Nov. 10. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys will take on the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday. They\u2019re seemingly not planning to celebrate this one for long. <\/p>\n
