Cowboys linebacker room looks much improved this season after week one win

The Dallas Cowboys defense looked dominant against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, winning 33-17 on the road. While the whole unit looked great under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, what impressed many fans the most was the linebacker group.

A big question mark heading into the offseason for the Cowboys was their depth at linebacker, as the unit was embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round of the playoffs last season.

The team addressed the need by signing veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks in free agency, reuniting him with Zimmer who was his former coach with the Minnesota Vikings.
