The Dallas Cowboys are concerned that the New England Patriots might discover their play plans since they acquired a new quarterback, Will Grier. There are reports suggesting that even three-time Pro Bowler and former Cowboys RB1, Ezekiel Elliott, may have shared trade secrets with the Patriots.
Now that both Grier and Zeke are part of the New England Patriots, the Cowboys offensive coordinator is feeling worried about potential secrets being revealed. Zeke played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2016 to 2022 and received the NFL rushing yards leader award twice during his time with the team. Meanwhile, Grier played for the Cowboys last year, stepping in to replace Ben DiNucci as the third-string quarterback.

The Dallas Cowboys are particularly concerned that their former star running back, Zeke, might share valuable team information with the New England Patriots ahead of their upcoming game. According to Cowboys OC Brian Schottenheimer, “We know Will knows where a lot of the bones are buried. We know Zeke does as well… I’m sure (Grier) is definitely being questioned.”
Update: The #Cowboys are worried about the #Patriots learning their signals ahead of their Week 4 game, because the Pats signed QB Will Grier last week, according to OC Brian Schottenheimer.

Additionally, their former backup QB, Grier, who played impressively in the preseason finale against the Raiders, accumulating 305 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 53 rushing yards with 2 touchdowns, could potentially give the Patriots an advantage, which is causing anxiety among the Cowboys.

However, OC Schottenheimer also mentioned, “Sometimes, you can use it to your advantage because they think they know what’s coming… and we’re smart enough to adjust those things.” On the other hand, the Patriots may not prefer the term “interrogation,” but they will still utilize Grier’s knowledge to some extent.
