New Defensive End?

October 18, 2006
Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells said he has worked linebacker Akin Ayodele at defensive end on the nickel defense. Ayodele played end in spurts with Jacksonville before signing with the Cowboys. Ayodele said he also did that in college, putting his hand on the ground as a defensive end in pass-rush situations. The Cowboys are looking to bolster their pass rush with rookie defensive end Jason Hatcher possibly to miss Monday's game with an ankle injury.
