The Cowboys defense only sacked opposing quarterbacks 28 times last year, finishing as the fifth-worst in that category across the NFL. Their lack of potency at pass rushing was unequivocal in the divisional playoffs against the Green Bay Packers when a hobbled Aaron Rodgers was able to carve up the defense for 24/35, 316 yards, and three touchdowns.

In 2015, Dallas is hoping all the additions along the defensive line will improve their ability to pressure opposing passers.

"We've got a bunch of young guys that came in," defensive tackle Nick Hayden said. "The addition of Greg [Hardy] and having Randy [Gregory] come in and help us out, it's going to be fun year for us. We got a good vibe. We work well together and we're just excited for this year to start."...

They sound confident and ready.

How quick will Dallas pass last years sack totals?

Me think probably 8 games. Hardy won't be back until game 5.

Gregory, Lawrence, Crawford, Coleman and Bishop look very promising for years to come. Hardy can be our version of Haley once he steps on the field. I'm hearing alot of talk about losing Murray and how it sets us back. IMO addressing the pass rush will push us through. To think, we've allowed 2 one legged QBs to beat us, ending our season both times.
