What happened: Ed Werder set his weekly appearance with The Musers near the top of the hour. Dallas added Pettine as senior defensive assistant to support the coordinator on situational calls.

Why it matters: Dallas moved to reinforce its defensive staff during the 2026 regular season. Reaction from coaches elsewhere frames expectations for the fit.

By the numbers: Dallas ranks 32nd in EPA per drive over a 22-game span since the Parsons trade.

What to watch: Dallas continues its regular-season schedule with Pettine on staff.
