Head coach Wade Phillips has identified three areas that must be addressed heading into Monday night's game against the New York Giants: kickoff coverage, penalties and turnover ratio.
How does he get those points across to his players? Fines for penalties or missed tackles? Have them run sprints for mistakes?
"Some of them respond to money,'' Phillips said. "Most of them respond to peer pressure.
"You're hurting the team. That's really where you get to a player more than anything. More than cussing him out, more than fining him.
"Overall, it's really the team itself and bringing it out and being accountable. That's why we always talk about that. Everybody is accountable to each other.'
