He had all of 30tackles and 1 sack last year....
Kemoeatu won't give you much in the way of a pass rush, but he'd probably rotate out of the lineup on passing downs... as for his tackle stats, others have already explained that nose tackles don't rack up high tackle totals, their job is to tie up blockers so the linebackers can flow to the play... so going by tackle totals won't really tell us a whole lot...
Just know that the Ravens were a top 10 rush defense last year (as they had been the previous two years), allowing 3.6 yards per rush (tied for 7th in the league)... their 8TDs allowed was third best in the league...
And Maake Kemoeatu was at the heart of all of that... IMO, he's JUST what the Cowboys need at NT in their 3-4, a massive widebody who's tough to move off the line... for sure, he'd be an asset in goal line and short yardage situations...
