The Dallas Cowboys defense has not been one of note as far as recent memory is concerned. Sure, the Cowboys had a defense that propelled them to the playoffs in 2018, but that season is more of the outlier than the norm. Generally, for a while now, the Cowboys defense has been the side of the ball that has held the team back, and it goes without saying that everyone involved wants that to change.
Rod Marinelli and Kris Richard are both gone from the team and the defense now belongs to Mike Nolan. There has been a lot of talk all offseason that the Cowboys are going to mix up how they play things, but we haven’t had a lot of tangible evidence of that.
