The Dallas Cowboys defense is entering a new chapter with Matt Eberflus taking over as defensive coordinator. Defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa has expressed optimism about working under his new coach.<\/p>\n

Matt Eberflus took over as the Cowboys\u2019 defensive coordinator in January following an unremarkable tenure as head coach of the Chicago Bears. Over three seasons from 2022 to 2024, he compiled a 14-32 record before being let go partway through the 2024 campaign. His most competitive season came in 2023, when Chicago finished with a 7-10 mark.<\/p>\n

During the team\u2019s OTAs this summer, Eberflus has been settling into his role with the Cowboys. As Dallas moves through the offseason gearing up for the new season, Odighizuwa expressed strong confidence in Eberflus, according to team reporter Jon Machota.<\/p>\n

Eberflus referred to Odighizuwa\u2019s role as the three-technique defensive tackle as the core of his defensive scheme. From their time together so far, Odighizuwa has seen firsthand why that label fits and feels the new system will provide him with increased opportunities to shine.<\/p>\n
