CFR: Projecting Cowboys 2021 Defensive Personnel (Run/Pass)

Parsons at Sam is questionable to me. Not that he can't do it, but if that is the best place for his talents.
How they play their LB's and how they fit into the D will be interesting to say the least.

Put in Urban or Osa as your 0T, and LVE and Neal at Mike and Will and if I was the OC, I would audible to run right at you every play, and challenge my 330lb interior guys to pancake.
LVE leads with his head instead of stacking with his chest and arms, and I haven't seen him be able to shed guards. He is injured in a few weeks, IMO, if you put him in this position.

I am assuming Parsons can stack and shed, and is definitely fast enough to play sideline to sideline. I'd make him the Mike, and let LVE play the Sam, and set the edge. At Mike - Parsons could come, trail, spy, or short zone pretty easily, and it would be a more simple learn for a rookie, IMO.

Using Neal as the Will or SS is a great idea as he wouldn't have to leave the field, and LVE\Smith could rotate from Sam to Will on passing downs and Neal be a DB. Coverages would be easy to hide.

Dallas really does have the personnel to be a very good defense IF players stay healthy, and they play up to their abilities. They have enough swing ability to go from a 3-4, to 4-3 both under and over, to 4-2-5 and not have to switch personnel on the field much. If Joseph and Diggs can handle both man and zone, and Kazee can be a good center fielder ............ they may be much better than last year.
