| How Is Dallas Cowboys Defense |
The Good, the Micah, and the Maybe
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
- Micah Parsons: A One-Man Wrecking Crew: This young buck is a walking highlight reel. Quarterbacks see him coming and have flashbacks to elementary school dodgeball. Opposing offenses are officially on notice: Micah Parsons is coming for your lunch money, and your dignity.
- Trevon Diggs: Pick-Six Picasso: Remember that interception streak last year? Dude's a ball hawk with a nose for the endzone. He might get beat deep sometimes, but when he gets his hands on the pigskin, it's curtains for the other team.
- Dan Quinn: The Mustache Maestro: This new defensive coordinator, with his impressive facial hair collection, has these boys playing with a fire under their butts. Whether it's his coaching genius or his endless supply of inspirational mustache wax, something good is brewing in Dallas.
The Not-So-Good, the Head-Scratching, and the Hopeful
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
- Secondary Shenanigans (Besides Diggs): Let's just say the jury's still out on the rest of the secondary cast. Can they consistently cover without Trevon turning into Superman every game? That, my friends, is the million-dollar question.
- Linebacker Limbo: The linebacking crew is a bit of a mystery box. One minute they're shutting down the run like a locked vault, the next they're about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. Can they find some consistency, or will they continue to be the defensive equivalent of a mood swing?
- Run Defense? What Run Defense?: Here's the area where things get dicey. Sometimes the Cowboys can shut down the run game tighter than a drum. Other times, opposing running backs carve through them like a Thanksgiving turkey. Let's just hope they can tighten things up before they face a team with a dominant ground attack.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.

So, What's the Verdict?
The truth is, the Dallas Cowboys defense is a work in progress. They have the potential to be a force to be reckoned with, but they need to shore up their weaknesses. With some continued coaching magic from Dan Quinn, a little bit of luck on the injury front, and maybe a shipment of industrial-strength glue for their tackling, these guys could be a real contender.
But hey, that's the beauty (and sometimes the frustration) of the Dallas Cowboys: they keep you on the edge of your seat. Just remember, when the going gets tough, the tough… well, hopefully the Cowboys can at least tackle someone by then.
