Just getting Sam Williams warmed up, and his play is demanding more snaps.
This defense just introducing more speed and playmaking ability, Clark and Bland are waiting next in the fold.
This isn't a Cowboy Fan biased opinion, I pay attention to many teams, and I don't see the amount of transcending players that we have on this defense anywhere else in the league..
Just keeps improving and getting faster.

Interesting with an active Clark, if he will specifically only see STs duty, or installed in some defensive packages asap.
We know Bland will already see significant time.
I am cautiously optimistic about Bland. He's looked good so far, but we haven't seen him having to really be the man yet. If he can continue trending upward, this defense is going be very difficult to fight, especially if Hankins is the answer we're hoping for in the middle.

No easy task for Bland, Lewis was solid in that role, underappreciated to a degree.

There should be a poll on snap count predictions.
Clark
Bland
Hankins

I want to see if LVE’s play, which hasn’t been as bad as some say, improves with Hankins in front of him. If anyone watched the Ravens defeat TB Thursday night, Devon White had the absolute worst performance by a LB that I’ve ever seen (not hyperbole). Bowles was giving him crap on the sideline down the stretch, but White was so frustrated and had absolutely no answer. His DTs were so bad that the Ravens rookie Center made White his b__tch. Linstrom was literally pushing White, who is big, strong, and fast, 15 yards downfield on every run. Those who think a LB should be able to get off an OLman’s block should have seen it. The center never blocked a tackle, simply running to a spot between white and the RB and pushing the LB back back back. Not once or twice, but the whole second half I was watching. Had to be the most frustrating and demeaning game of Devon White’s Career.

Totally agree here. I watched the 9ers and I think Dallas's is better because of their speed. And everyone is saying they have the top defense in the NFL.
