Carr Adjusting to Yet Another DC

Brandon Carr has played under three defensive coordinators in as many seasons

Learning a new defense under a new defensive coordinator is nothing new for Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr.

Monte Kiffin will be Carr’s third coordinator in as many years. He played under Romeo Crennel while with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2011 and under Rob Ryan in 2012, his first season in Dallas.

"I've been playing for different coaches, different schemes, pretty much my whole career," Carr said this week, per ESPN Dallas. "I feel like it adds to my versatility. it's all about learning and grasping whatever is thrown at me."

Carr isn’t worried about making the transition, though, and he believes he’ll be helped by having a year under his belt with his Cowboys teammates.

"It helps to be here for a year," Carr said. "The chemistry we have established and see guys grow and develop. I know my role within the defense, with the team. Guys are kind of settling down now, and we added new guys who can make plays. It's about getting everybody on the same page."
