New-Look Cowboys Defense Could Finally Match Elite Offense
"The Dallas Cowboys used their bye week to reset, refocus, and reload on defense. After battling through inconsistency and injuries, Matt Eberflus finally has a chance to get his full complement of defensive talent on the field. Four key reinforcements - DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel Jr., Logan Wilson, and Quinnen Williams - are set to take the field for the stretch run. Each one fills a major hole that's plagued this defense through the first half of the season."
"Now in his second NFL season, Overshown looks poised to take a major step forward. His 2024 PFF data from his rookie campaign highlighted flashes of elite playmaking potential: Overshown's Week 1 (88.6 DEF, 82.0 PRSH) and Week 4 (77.7 DEF, 82.7 COV) performances last year showed his range and burst. When healthy, he's one of the fastest linebackers on the roster - a perfect fit for Eberflus' emphasis on pursuit, spacing, and team tackling."
The Cowboys used their bye week to reset and will insert four reinforcements to stabilize the defense for the stretch run. Matt Eberflus will have a fuller complement of defensive talent after battling inconsistency and injuries. DeMarvion Overshown projects as a second‑year breakout candidate with game tape and PFF marks showing range, burst, speed, instincts, and fit for pursuit and team tackling. Shavon Revel Jr. supplies rookie precision, coverage awareness, disciplined angles, and tackling efficiency for nickel and sub packages. Logan Wilson arrives as a veteran voice and field general. Quinnen Williams bolsters the defensive line up front. Collectively these additions aim to shore up communication, pursuit, coverage depth, and interior disruption down the stretch.
