"The Cowboys were in the bottom third of rushing yards allowed per game, giving up 125.5 yards per contest to opponents in 2025."
"Murray was often out of position and missed far too many tackles (11) for a player with his type of experience."
"Overshown has to find a way to stay healthy for the team's sake and his checkbook."
"James got valuable playing time in his first season. He played 14 games, but the unit as a whole seemed to be in over their heads."
The Dallas Cowboys' defense faced significant challenges last season, particularly in rushing defense, allowing 125.5 yards per game. The pass rush decreased by 30 percent, contributing to overall defensive struggles. Key players like Jack Sanborn and Kenneth Murray underperformed, with Murray missing tackles and being unreliable in coverage. DeMarvion Overshown shows promise but has injury concerns, while rookie Shemar James gained experience despite the unit's overall difficulties. The Cowboys need to improve linebacker performance to enhance their defensive capabilities moving forward.
