Brian Schottenheimer has made a significant move as the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys by hiring Klayton Adams as the offensive coordinator. Adams, known for his strong background with the Arizona Cardinals, will focus on enhancing the Cowboys' rushing attack, which recently ranked 27th in the NFL. With Schottenheimer continuing to call plays, the team aims to bolster the offensive line and improve blocking schemes to revive the run game.

During his tenure with Arizona, Adams contributed to a successful rushing game that ranked 7th in the league, with standout performances from James Conner, despite injury struggles. The Cowboys are looking for a similar turnaround, especially after releasing Ezekiel Elliott, who had a disappointing season. The team’s COO, Stephen Jones, emphasized the need for a run game coordinator to achieve their offensive goals.
