NFC Notes: Zach Ertz, Daniel Jones, Mike Zimmer, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants

Commanders

Washington signed TE Zach Ertz in free agency after releasing TE Logan Thomas to maintain a veteran presence in the room. Commanders TE Cole Turner spoke on how valuable Ertz can be to the youth in the TE room. 

โ€œThatโ€™s the first thing about Zack that heโ€™s seen what Kliff expects from the offense, and heโ€™s not a selfish guy, he wants to help everyone out,โ€ Turner said, via 106.7 The Fan. โ€œItโ€™s been really fun to play with him. Me and Zach have become friends in just a few months of knowing each other; heโ€™s a very personable guy and a guy that goes out of his way and wants to see the team win.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s been great having him around โ€“ not just for the tight ends, but for everyone. Heโ€™s one of the leaders on the team, for sure.โ€

Cowboys

When discussing the differences with new DC Mike Zimmer, Cowboys S Malik Hooker said there will be a lot of differences compared to when current Commanders HC Dan Quinn ran the defense last season. 

โ€œI love DQ; we still talk to this day. Heโ€™s a big reason why I am still in Dallas to this day,โ€ Hooker said via Ivan Lambert of the Commanders Wire. โ€œThere is a certain way you have to coach certain guys. I feel like because of how player-oriented DQ was, guys would relate to him, and he wouldnโ€™t have to coach a certain way that Zim does now.โ€

โ€œDan Quinn, on the other hand, is more player-oriented. If something wasnโ€™t going right or we kept messing up, heโ€™d level it down make it easier for everyone to go out there and do what they were going to do.โ€

โ€œI would say the biggest difference is the discipline that we are going to have this year,โ€ Hooker summed things up.
