Probably the weakest group of DT’s , weakest group of off ball LB’s, and free safety.

Odigizuwa is a nice rotational player. He has no business starting 17 games. He has proved that over the last 3 seasons. Starts off strong by the end of the season he’s worn out. Happened every year to him. It’s Dallas fault for not getting him any help at 3 tech.

Gallimore is JAG

Hankins decent run stopper should never be your best DT.

Mazi looks like a bust. My red flag went up when he said “ I don’t even love football”.

LB’s after LVE went down shame on the front office for not addressing the position. The LB was terrible today and vs Buffalo. Bell needs to move back to safety or nickle LB. He’s way too small to be a full time LB

Hope is for Overshown to take a starting role next year.

Malik hooker what exactly does he do? Makes zero plays. Gave him an overpaid contract ? Thomas could be doing just as well for much less. Bad contract.

Kearse is just washed.

When you look at this group down the middle of our def it’s downright embarrassing. Invest In some DT’s and off ball LB’s for once.

Cowboys did not have the weakest group of LBs. You know who had the weakest LBs: Miami who only had 5 total (inside and outside) who could play on their 53 man roster and practice squad , at the start of last week, due to so many injuries so they had to sign people off the street to play significant snaps for them. You can see how well that went.

Add Eagles too. Gotta protect the middle of your field…

What do you expect when you play 6 safeties and 3 corners every play even on 3rd and 1 inside the 5 yard line and they are all off the ball 8+ yards

You didn't even mention the worse one of the bunch, Damone Clark. Clark would not start for another team in the NFL

Mazi is just a rookie. He'll be alright in time, Rest I agree, Micah Parsons is a JAG as anything but a pass rusher and he's your supposed best defender. If all teams do is run towards Parsons and he can't do anything against you because he can't make plays then he shouldn't be on the field.

Need better DTs, better LBs better safeties. Talent just isn't there on defense overall. Parsons should only be used rushing the passer he sucks at everything else and is too situational.

M.Bell and Damone Clark are the worst duo i've ever seen against the run, maybe ever.
