Outside of Bland, who had half of the team's interceptions and Parsons, who had nearly a third of the total team sacks, not many on the defense contributed to "splash" plays.
I think the team became too dependant on these two to turn a game each week.
Other defensive stats such as yards per game and scoring were not bad. However, the Achilles heel seems to have been the inability to stop the opposition in long, sustained drives. I haven't seen any stats on the percent of 3 and outs allowed by a defense, but I bet the Cowboys didn't rank well in this area.
My concern is with the likely FO thinking that is Diggs returns and there is incremental improvement in other players, all will be good.
