How to fix their anemic pass rush?

[Bigrandrn]

New name to consider, Khalil Mack.

Chargers are done and the Cowboys can afford him. Has 3 sacks this season and is a proven pass rusher despite his age. As a rental for 12-13 games or so he’d be a great addition.

Man, he’s getting up there, don’t know if he can really give us what we need, vs being another Von Miller signing.

idk about needing more interior rushers. We need to run more plays that take advantage of Quinnen being able to rush the QB. Hes one the best 3techs in the league and he should be let lose on interior Olines.

Yeah, Q SHOULD be enough inside with Clark or Otito (get the rook LT in there too)….we have next to zero rush around the edge. All I see is the ends/lob running right into the tackle, nobody has pass rush moves or burst to get AROUND the tackles…at least not the players I’ve watched. Bet Barham would do better getting around the tackles than EZ, just looks like he really tries to get into the backfield.

Yeah, you can run stunts to try to free him up!

Not really. Doesn't change the fact that he's getting the OL attention

Sweat is almost the ideal mid grade player for this defense.

Sweat has at least played in similar system.

Its rumored the as is 2027 2nd or 3rd.

Plus hes asing for a revised contract now, he has no more guaranteed money after 2026 that's likely what he wants.

Which Dallas gives Dallas the incentive to redo him as next year's cap hit is Ike 18 million.

Is he worth a premier contract and valuable day 2 pick next year?

Von Miller is at a different stage of his career. Mack is still a starting DE and already has 3 sacks in 4 games.

Von is a pinch hit pass rusher in likely his last season. They’re just not comparable in a 1 to 1 sense.

I think that’s the way to go this year - get a good performing veteran who wants to play playoff football from a losing team.

Trade deadline is after week 9, there should be some teams at 3-6 or worse with key injuries ready to mail it in, shouldn’t there?

I don't think you're really going to be able to acquire much passrush juice on the edge. Josh Sweat is probably the best option there.

They badly need interior rushers. Depending on how teams perform, some pending free agent options might be:

Adetomiwa Adebawore, DeForest Buckner - IND
Maliek Collins - CLE
Moro Ojomo - PHI
Daron Payne - WAS

Sieler would help there a ton

Payne is supposedly on the block. I dont know if he is someone they would go after, but if the draft pick compensation is small he would make for a deep interior rotation. He is a better player than Clark is now

Collins would be a great pin your ears back guy. We probably need that more than anything.

Id love to get Ojomo, but I don't think Philadelphia would trade him to us

12 sacks last year, but only two seaons with double digits. One so far this year

So we're going to get another short term vet who's just a DPR who doesn't play special teams at all?

We already made our bet with that guy, and his name is Von Miller.
