Wade to take over defensive play calling

Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips has taken over defensive play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Brian Stewart, according to a team source.

On Monday, in the wake of Sunday's 34-14 loss to the St. Louis Rams, Phillips said changes could be on the horizon for the Cowboys, as the preseason Super Bowl favorites fell to 4-3. At some point between that loss and Wednesday, according to sources, team owner Jerry Jones instructed Phillips to take over the play calling duties from Stewart, who worked with Phillips in San Diego when he was the San Diego Chargers' defensive coordinator.

Phillips was expected to address the topic in a news conference at 4:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

should've been calling plays since day one......

A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.

"If you don’t take him off the field as a coach, he will just about die out there," Jerry Jones said. "That impacted my decision. It’s a Michael Irvin-type work ethic. That’s what we are talking about with Felix Jones."
