"After the front office traded away Micah Parsons earlier in the year, the expectation was that the defense would shift its identity to a more balanced, gap-disciplined unit. With Kenny Clark anchoring the middle, fans hoped the bleeding would stop. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. Dallas currently ranks 29th in the league, giving up a staggering 143.0 rushing yards per game. That's not just bad, it's embarrassing for a team that claims to have Super Bowl aspirations."
"The addition of Quinnen Williams should help immensely, as he's one of the NFL's most dominant run defenders and brings a physical edge that's been sorely missing. Pairing him with Logan Wilson, a proven tackling machine at linebacker, could finally give this unit some stability. Still, until we see consistent gap control, sound tackling, and a little pride in stopping the run, it's hard to believe the defense will hold up against playoff-caliber opponents."
The Cowboys sit 3-5-1 at the season midpoint and face pressing roster and schematic challenges. The run defense ranks 29th, surrendering 143.0 rushing yards per game after Micah Parsons was traded, despite hopes that Kenny Clark would steady the interior. The arrival of Quinnen Williams and the potential pairing with Logan Wilson offer a path to better gap control and tackling, but consistency remains elusive. On offense, Javonte Williams provides physicality and toughness, yet the unit lacks true game-breaking speed, and younger additions were expected to supply more explosive playmaking.
