Dallas Cowboys Defense

Defensive Line (10)

Dorance Armstrong, Osa Odighizuwa, Neville Gallimore, DeMarcus Lawrence, Sam (Dee) Williams, Chauncey Golston, Dante Fowler Jr, Trysten Hill, Carlos Watkins, John Ridgeway

Dorance will likely be the starter opposite D-Law. Rotating with him will be Dante Fowler and the rookie Dee Williams. Depending how advanced Williams is, the Cowboys may find Fowler expendable. More on that here:

light. Related Story. Dante Fowler's deal in Dallas offers clues...

Chauncey Golston will work behind Lawrence and bringing it all together is Micah Parsons who we pray will get a sizeable amount of EDGE snaps himself. Inside, Osa and Neville standout as the top dogs by a pretty big margin. They have good lateral movement against the run and pass rush ability to shoot the gaps.

Run-heavy situations the Dallas Cowboys have Carlos Watkins and John Ridgeway. They typically only keep two run-stuffers on the roster which means Quinton Bohanna misses the cut. Trysten Hill sneaks onto the roster one last time to round out this fairly deep D-line unit.

The defensive line offers some versatility to go multiple so Dan Quinn could get creative again and show opponents some new looks. With players like Parsons, Williams, and Fowler he could do a number of things on the edge that could stretch the bounds of creativity.
