Jonathan Bullard is a problem!

I actually like how Overton slots into this group.
As do I. He doesn't have the greatest burst, but he's got topnotch lateral agility and is "cerebral in run D and won't be fooled by the option or overcommitment. Leg drive and overall body strength are great. Rarely moved off his spot."

I think he was a steal.
 
Just watched this guy's 2025 highlights and while his numbers don't seem to be great, they are misleading to the damage he causes at the line of scrimmage. I need to learn how to input video never tried it before but just check him out on YouTube for the 2025 season.
He's a physical run defender that offers nothing against the pass, which is the main reason he was cheap. Good rotational player to give Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams some early-down relief. Ogbonnia is essentially the third down lineman when we are in the 3-4 fronts, but Bullard is a player who can rotate into any of the three spots as necessary. He just isn't likely to be out there when we are in nickel alignments.
 
That's why the SSLB must be a good run stopper. And that's Gary, who is a top 5 SSLB.
And I though Eze showed more as a run stopper than pass rusher last year, which is why I expect him to be the other OLB in the 3-4 sets. I think ideally we play Houston and Miller at end in the 4-2-5 sets, mixing in Lawrence some and hopefully more as the season progresses.
 
Yup. Very nice rotional type, and underrated pickup.

We are almost to the point of being stacked at DT, especially if Overton can play.
Yes, and defensive tackle was a major weakness for this team in years past. Dallas has built one of the best defensive tackle units in the league. Safety is also a strong group that used to be a weakness here. Dallas should be strong against the run with Quinnen and Clark and Gary. Winters and Barham will be free to make tackles behind them, and Caleb Downs at nickel along with Thompson at safety should really improve this Dallas run defense.
 
It takes all kinds to make the world go around. We’re not robots. And a great coach will coach players differently based on what type of person they are, ie gregarious and outgoing or introverted and leads by example, etc. I think you might be overreacting a bit about Miller. You need a team with a mix of young bucks as well as some seasoned veterans. Miller’s done it all and that alone will be a benefit.
I hope you're right. Anything is possible.
 
Both Bullard and Otito appear to be very good run defenders. On paper paired with Clark and Quennin, this should be a difficult front to run against. The LBs just need to do their part, which is a relative unknown.
 
What do you mean he's gonna be a problem i'm trying to figure out your meaning like is he a problem with off field issues is the locker room cancer is he better than people thought I can tell you this if you haven't noticed the Cowboys rebuilt the entire defensive line and the interior defensive line is absolutely have better depth than it's ever had It's young mixed with experience mixed with some dudes that are just straight up dawgs..

So yes Parker came in here and said this is what I need first and he got it done the center of that defense is gonna surprise some people and not just the starters I think they have the depth the word is not going to be a big drop off much like Seattle built their defense last year it's not top heavy with a single point of failure you know not a lot of big superstars but a lot of depth they can all do similar things so when they go out on an injury or to take a break and they're being rotated it's not going to drop off much..
For the opponents facing him
 
Get it together old man!

Lol jk jk


Do you post here from your phone or a computer? It's a lot easier from a computer. Look for the "share" button on the Youtube video you'd like to share. Click "copy" and then when you want to post the video, right click on your mouse and then "paste" it where you want it. Once you do it, you'll see that it's pretty easy. I'm just an old man trying help another old man. Salud!

GO COWBOYS! :star:
Thank you for the information it is greatly appreciated.

You don't think Gary will start?

That may be true when he gets on the field but he's not stealing reps from at least two to three other players in front of him but I do admit they kept him here because he's got a physicality to him a mean streak and it seems like there's a lot of guys on this team that now fit that profile..

That goes to what I said I give them credit for building this team not top heavy not one point of failure they have literally built this team with enough depth that even though QW it's heads and tails the starter here guys like Clark Ogbania Bullard etc And even to an extent overton wheat,

They have literally have now guys on the 3rd string that are better than some of the starters were from 2023 and 2024 on the interior defensive line..

That's what Seattle and to an extent that is what New England did they went with depth over top heavy superstars they have a lot of guys that can come in and contribute from the starter to 3rd string and you won't notice a huge difference they all are coming to do the same task and they won't be a big drop off and we all know Q WS the man but I'm just agreeing I'm trying to agree with you but at the same time I explain it's not a surprise to me they literally the last two offseasons has built this defensive line to be stout top to bottom..

I agree with you the change has been top to bottom not just starters. When I look at the practice squad this time last year a lot of these guys would be on the 53 and half getting pt.
 
another very solid above ave addition to a very well built defensive front line.

He may not get to the Qb but the way he moves the pocket should help with limiting the Qb from stepping up to avoid the edge rush.

No one thought enough of him to offer him more than Dallas' 1-year, $2-million deal. So I'm not expecting a whole lot. Cheap players are cheap for a reason.
