Who in this draft could have significantly improved pass rush?As we all know, the run defense absolutely sucked last year. 2nd worst in the league. But what doesn’t get talked about enough was that the Cowboys had 31 sacks good for 12th worst. And 132 QB pressures which was 8th worst. The Titans were the only team below us to make the playoffs.
D Lineman added this off season-
Carlos Watkins (6’3 300)
Brent Urban (6’7 305)
Osa Odighizuwa (6’2 280)
Chauncey Golston (6’5 270)
Quinton Bohanna (6’4 330+)
Only added pass rusher- Tarell Basham. Probably a trade off to Smith who left.
So while we are sure to be much better vs the run with the d line and LB additions so far...how have we improved in the pass rushing department? And how big of a worry is it for you? Lawrence, Gregory, Basham, Anae, Armstrong...that’s what we’re working with so far
Looks like the plan is a wave of high effort, fresh players and better coverage. Stop the run and that significantly helps the pass rush because it becomes more predictable
