Today, we look at the defensive line in Dallas.The Cowboys have built a pretty strong defense with the addition of Kris Richard. Richard’s and Rod Marinelli’s game plans, and coaching, have resulted in improvements for nearly every positional group on their side of the ball. DeMarcus Lawrence is playing like one of the best pass rushers in football, the linebackers have developed into one of the better duos in the league, and the corners have all had their moments.We will focus on the men in the trenches in today’s piece. While there are some questions — such as Randy Gregory’s availability in 2019 — Marinelli has to be excited about who he has coming back and who the team has added through the draft, free agency Cheap Anthony Brown Youth Jersey , and on the trade market. EDGE RushersDeMarcus Lawrence cashed in on a well-deserved pay day this offseason. When healthy, Lawrence has proven that he can terrorize opposing offensive tackles and quarterbacks each and every week. DLaw finished the 2018 campaign with 64 total tackles, 15 tackles-for-loss, 10.5 sacks, and 23 QB hits. With the ink dry, here is hoping Tank will be healthy enough when the season comes around.Across from DLaw on the defensive line is new acquisition Robert Quinn. Quinn comes to Dallas from the Miami Dolphins following a seven-year stint with the Rams. The former 14th selection of the 2011 NFL draft is coming off a season in which he totaled 38 tackles, nine TFLs, 6.5 sacks Dallas Cowboys Geoff Swaim Jersey , and 15 QB hits. Quinn’s presence gives Marinelli another player that get into the backfield and create havoc, which should take pressure off of Lawrence.Randy Gregory is up in the air, and the team added Joe Jackson out of Miami and Jalen Jelks from Oregon in the later rounds of the draft this April. Jelks is seen as a bit of a sleeper by some in the scouting community, thanks in large part to his size and motor. Jason Garrett was certainly excited about the pick:Is this the year that Taco Charlton emerges? Will Dorance Armstrong take the next step after showing promise in limited action during his rookie season? And what will Kerry Hyder bring to Dallas?Defensive TackleThere should be more competition at the defensive tackle spot than we have seen in years past. Tyrone Crawford, Maliek Collins and Antuwan Woods are all back in the fold and ready to make a jump in the second year of the Rod Marinelli and Kris Richard duo. One of the bigger needs, though, was finding another defensive tackle, either through free agency or the draft. The team passed on taking a safety with its first pick in the draft in favor of UCF’s Trysten Hill. Hill ended his career in Orlando by making 36 tackles Womens Geoff Swaim 2019 Jersey , 10.5 of which were behind the scrimmage, and getting to the quarterback on three occasions. You can read Dane Brugler’s scouting report here:Hill had a strong game against Auburn in the 2018 Peach Bowl:Elsewhere, free agent signee Christian Covington and undrafted free agents Daniel Ross and Daniel Wise will battle to get into the rotation. Wise was recently named the team’s ‘most exciting UDFA addition’ by Bleacher Report.We all know that a pass rush is a defensive back’s best friend. They also need to control the run, something they did for most of the year in 2018 but struggled with later in the season. Can the Cowboys’ defensive line take the next step in 2019? A lot has happened and been said since the Dallas Cowboys released Dez Bryant back on April 13th. He had public feuds with fans on social media, called out his former teammates, and this week finally moved on when he signed with the New Orleans Saints.It took until Week 10 for Dez to find the fit that worked best for both him and the team, and it was almost universally agreed upon that New Orleans was that spot. Dez with Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara White Terrell Owens Jersey , Mark Ingram, Michael Thomas, all under Sean Payton sounded special.Unfortunately all of that may have only been a dream of a few days. It was reported on Friday afternoon that Dez is feared to have torn his Achilles on the final play of practice for New Orleans.We’re talking about a member of the New Orleans Saints here, but Dez’s place in Cowboys lore isn’t one of question. He’s the franchise’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns which is what was going to make his return on November 29th all the more memorable. That appears to be very much in doubt.So much of Dez’s signing seemed intelligent on his part because he specifically wanted a one-year deal to prove his worth so that he could hit free agency in the offseason. If he’s now going to be coming off of a torn Achilles in November, having not played a football game since the 2017 season, it’s going to be tough for a 30-year old Dez to find work. It’s possible that this could mean the end of his career in the NFL.Dez Bryant is one of the greatest players in Dallas Cowboys history. Let’s all hope for the best for him, however this news shakes out.
